Overview

eDoctor application has been developed to provide best medical facilities to be accessible in the remote locations and also provide access to the people from under developed countries to these doctors. This application helps to maintain the medical records, manage their appointments, consult doctors over video calls, chat with tem and also deal with medical shops (wherever it is integrated). SMAC IT has developed this application for the client as per their business need and the technology roadmap has been created by us and the required permissions to integrate several hospitals have been procured by client.
