ABSTRACT
This paper reflects on a novel concept of automation in the health care sector. The idea is to design an automatic system [AHCU] capable of performing remote physical examination with blood glucose estimation, pulse rate measurement, body mass measurement and body temperature measurement. The medical automatic system is consisted of a built-in dispenser to provide front-desk medicines to patient and also prescription in hard copy as well as in soft copy. In the Karachi city, we conducted first focus groups with doctors in order to identify how the remote medical diagnostician system is assessed and conceptualized regarding the examination procedures [activities], communication issues, and the visualization of needed information. The AHCU was found to be very reliable and efficient machine to provide front-desk monitoring, prescription and medication. It takes approximately 20 seconds to examine glucose level in blood, 10 seconds for fever measurement, 5 seconds in pulse rate measurement and 7 seconds for weight measuring. For providing medicines, it takes maximum 60 seconds in all cases. Based on the findings, we has reflected on the technology assessment, i.e., if remote medical services can be a suitable possibility for rural areas where the availability of doctors with various specializations is often a problem, as well as necessities for this novel type of medical treatment from a doctor's point of view [i.e., identified aspects increasing acceptance and adoption by users of the system]
ABSTRACT
Lower awareness of health knowledge, physical growth and development, women bearing children at early ages face higher risk of maternal health problems, disability and death, reinforces risking problems for their newborns as a result, early marriages are always being a very big issue in developing countries specially in primitive uncivilized districts of Asia including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh etc. Moreover it's a controversial fact that in civilized society, evidences of getting married in early ages are greatly increased because of our religious beliefs, norms and social impacts. Due to early marriages young girls don't have the ability to deal with responsibilities, early pregnancy and pregnancy-related mortality and morbidity, causing major physiological and psychological health issues in adolescent girls, resulting in losing relationship confidence and ability to maintain a healthy relationship. Purpose of the study was to evaluate the aspects of psychological disturbances occurring in married young girls along with depression rate and educational withdrawal, with comparison of unmarried young girls of the same age specifically there is a strong correlation between a woman's age at marriage and the education that she receives. Uniformly across the countries, early marriage is associated with lower educational attainment. Observational study was conducted through multi logistic structured questionnaire and girls in b/w age of 13 to 35 were included. On the basis of above study it is concluded that early marriage, multiple responsibilities and early pregnancies are risk factors of depression and it is further evaluated that married girls are at higher level when compared with unmarried.
