Low code’s arrival is no longer fresh news. With its many benefits and versatile use cases, the low code paradigm is here to stay. Low-code frameworks are powerful tools that can significantly improve primary healthcare services in developing countries. These frameworks allow non-technical users to create/maintain custom software applications without extensive coding knowledge. This enables healthcare providers in non-compute intensive environments to quickly and easily develop digital solutions to support their patients and improve the overall quality of care while ensuring continuity.

One of the key challenges faced by primary healthcare services in interior areas of developing countries is digital awareness and lack of access to data and information.

Many healthcare facilities in these countries still rely on paper records, which can be difficult to store, manage, and share. Low-code frameworks enable healthcare providers to easily create and maintain digital solutions that can help them collect, manage, and analyze data.

This can improve the accuracy and completeness of patient records and the overall quality of care provided to patients while ensuring that real-time reports are available to stakeholders up the management chain.

Low-code frameworks can also help to improve the efficiency of implementing and maintaining primary healthcare services. These tools allow healthcare providers to quickly and easily create custom software applications that automate routine tasks and processes. This can reduce the workload of healthcare staff, allowing them to focus on providing high-quality care to patients.

Furthermore, low-code frameworks can help to enhance the effectiveness of primary healthcare services in digitally challenged areas. These tools enable healthcare providers to create custom applications supporting care delivery in remote and underserved communities. This can help improve access to care for patients in these areas and the overall quality of care provided.

In conclusion, low-code frameworks are powerful tools that can significantly improve primary healthcare services in interior areas of developing countries. These tools enable healthcare providers to easily create digital solutions that can support data collection, management, and analysis, improve the efficiency of care delivery, enhance the effectiveness of care in underserved communities and, most importantly, maintain them and provide continuity. By leveraging the power of low-code frameworks, healthcare providers in these areas can overcome many challenges and improve the overall quality of digital health systems provided to their patients.

Argusoft’s MEDplat is a comprehensive, low-code public health management framework that can be customized to create the required low-code solution.

It is highly customizable and amenable to the diverse needs of different public and primary healthcare implementations. MEDplat’s interoperability with centralized government health-related portals is an added advantage. Over time, MEDplat has evolved in terms of its scale, usage and acceptance in the field. It has been successfully implemented in different healthcare contexts in India and abroad. 

MEDplat is supported by proof of concept and execution, thanks to its many implementations in similar environments. In our experience, this has worked as a sort of ‘social proof’ for various stakeholders in government and associated decision-making bodies. In addition, our user-centered design and experience in similar contexts build a clear value proposition for stakeholders. 

At Argusoft, we have built and continue to build digital solutions that help bridge gaps in care delivery and management of primary healthcare in interior areas of developing countries. We work as trusted partners for governments and related bodies to achieve their healthcare goals with tailor-made solutions for these contexts. We also work with organizations like World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations (UN), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and related agencies on several healthcare initiatives that have resulted in successful implementations worldwide.
