Abhijit A. Patil, P.p.patil, Ajit A.patil . Implementation of Information Technology in Snakebite Management: A Case Study of Rural Maharashtra (India). International Journal of Computer Applications. 44, 19 ( April 2012), 32-35. DOI=10.5120/6373-8802
Abstract
Information Technology plays a vital role in the snakebite management. The IT enabled GPS systems helps to the society in emergency of snakebite by transferring data. The paper focus on the present situation of Snake bites patient's status in the selected sensitive area in the rural Maharashtra. Study shows that, the worst picture of lack of communication system for assistance to the affected patients and their further treatment by the hospitals. The article suggests the Global Positioning System (GPS) Enabled computing model and the usage of Wireless Technology. The literature study shows that, such model may be the useful in snake bite affected areas. Implementation of IT in snakebite management based on the wireless technology is the need for making awareness by sharing the information about the prevention of snake bites and the treatments as first Aid to the community and the data about the victim can be made available and communicated to the further centers such as hospitals. This is an attempt to get faster and accurate information & treatment to the snakebite victim.
