BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With the advances in medical science, the human life is extended. At the same
time, some common long-term diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and
diabetes have increases their occurrence. According to a recent publication of
World Heath Organization (WHO) there are 10 million people worldwide
suffering from high blood pressure, nearly three million people suffer from
diabetes, nearly 17 million people around the globe die each year of
cardiovascular diseases, 65 million people have stroke, out of which 5 million die
each year and 5 million people get permanently disabled. In developed countries
the number of cases of stroke is declining due to better health care practices

wherein in developing countries like India and China, the same is increasing
steadily. It may be due to environmental factors associated with rapid
industrialization and urbanization in association with changing life style among
the urban population.
Although cardiovascular disease and diabetes usually occurs rs in middle-aged or
elderly, but in recent years these diseases around the world began at an early
age. The main causes are poor diet and living habits of the sick in childhood to
adulthood, including: lack of exercise, poor diet and smoking habit.
Modern youth physical activity decreased significantly, especially girls, obesity
has increased significantly in adolescence. This situation not only in Europe and
North America, and even the traditional slim population such as China and Japan,
there are a lot of young people are obese. Previous cases of type 2 diabetes in
children rarely have begun more and more common. Children from Accidents
cardiovascular disease in North America, Japan and Thailand, after the death of
autopsy records fatty streaks and fibrous plaques in the coronary arteries can be
seen in young children elevated blood lipids, high blood pressure. So the world
needs urgent action. Family, school, community, health professionals, public
health officials and policy makers need to promote all ages from children to older
teens healthy lifestyle to reduce cardiovascular disease epidemic facing the world.
The rapid urbanization in the developing countries like Indian and China, less
employment opportunity in rural and semi-urban areas in such countries caused
mass migration of youth to urban areas for employment. This trend made the older
people vulnerable of old age related diseases. The young employed mass living in
the cities hardly get the opportunity to look after the health related issues of their
old parents living in villages and small towns.
To address these issues, there have several efforts recently in using modern
method of digitalization including integration of patient related data through

ccomputational and information system that mines healthcare database which
improve treatment cost-effectively, seeking opportunities for growth in industry
regularly. Challenges and opportunities are counterbalance by artificial
intelligence (AI), information technology, 3-D printing etc. in astounding ways to
encourage healthy lifestyles. Besides this, these modern technological tools s and
solutions have the ability to create a wide range of AI-enabled medical models, as
well as to develop and analyze critical data, and devolve all-in-one integrated
medicine for streamlined care.
AI-enabled technologies are making great strides regularly, reflected by
increasing virtual medicine start-ups. The intelligent healthcare systems are
contributing effectively due to technological footprints, spread in hospitals and
healthcare industries through advanced devices, which are capable of penetrating
into the human healthcare systems at a deeper level. These tools not only curate
intelligent data and systematize analytic asset discovery, and governance, but also
improve the delivery model. It can empower industry experts to deeply
analyze/study/break/understand text to extract metadata from the extensive
content; which may or may not include integral concepts, as well as entities.
Various technologies and platforms currently available are inadequate to address
issues of providing holistic and real time approach to the patient care through
direct involvement of different stake holders involved in patient care in a
interactive manner, as well as through involving medical equipments, sensors,
localization of patients and caregivers to provide services without delays, and to
synchronise the system for optimized process of drug administration
(identification, distribution, localization, returns and disposal).

One of the object of the invention is to provide a system, device and method that
integrate different stake holders in patient care including the medical practitioners,
the nursing practitioners, the drugs dispensers, and other auxiliary stake holders.
Another object of the invention to integrate the data generated during each stage
of patient care and sharing the same effectively between different stake holders.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an interactive session
between the patient and the medical practitioner and between various stake holder

Another object of the present invention is to provide a GPS enabled device,
system and method for locating and quick mobilization of the medical
practitioners, nursing practitioners, and other stake holders for immediate care of
the patients.

moment, anywhere on real time basis.
Another object of the invention is to allow the immediate sharing of patient
information and results between different stake holders involved in patient care.
Another object of the invention is to enhance the process of drug administration
(identification, distribution, localization, returns and disposal)
