Description of Related Art
[002] Students are building blocks of a nation. Therefore, maintaining a health of the students is of utmost importance. The students spend majority of their time at educational institutions, for example a student spends nearly 7-8 hours in a college for their study. In case, any health issue arises at the educational institutions, proper services and maintained health record of the student must be present. Traditionally, the health record of the students is maintained on papers, however, maintaining the health records on the papers is difficult. Moreover, addition and deletion of student records needs to be done when new students arrive and older students leave the educational institutions.
[003] Conventionally, systems are available for checking general health parameters such as height, weight, and body temperature and sends a reminder to the student if the general health parameters are out of range. Moreover, the available systems only focus on mental and psychological health. In addition, the available systems are restricted to hospitals and clinics for maintaining patient records, billing, hospital inventory for hospitals.
[004] There is thus a need for an advanced and more effective hospital management system and method for the educational institutions that can administer the drawbacks faced by the conventional systems.
