COMMUNITY HEALTH ELECTRONIC EXAMINATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM

COMMUNITY HEALTH ELECTRONIC EXAMINATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM Together with my business partner Mr. Jorge Malig, we have designed a Community Health Electronic Examination and Reporting System (CHEERS) that will be housed in a converted shipping container van. The idea for CHEERS originally came from Mr. Malig, who wants to make available to all Filipinos several simple and affordable procedures such as urine and blood tests. Based on our research, we found out that a simple urine test might be good enough to measure the blood sugar count of a patient, although his or her doctor might still want the patient to get a blood test, to get more accurate data. Aside from urine and blood tests, more services will be added to CHEERS. According to Mr. Malig, he wants CHEERS to have solar panels so that it could have its own source of electric power. He also wants to install a water condenser and or a rainwater collection, so that CHEERS could be partly independent of the local water supply. With sufficient solar panels, it may be enough for water filtration also. On my part, I would like to include a small biogas unit, so that the methane produced gas could help reduce the electric power costs. The biogas may be used for cooking, for boiling and for the autoclave of the clinic instruments. Hopefully, the savings from electric power and LPG expenses will help lower the costs of the testing services, because the goal is to keep the prices low and affordable by all patients.
