The idea

The idea is to allow users to record visits and their expenditure every time when they’ve been to the doctor for a given period. Recording the number of times, you’ve been to the doctor for a given period can help you detect your health trends and make healthy lifestyle choices. For people living with chronic illness can see if their situation is getting worse or improving.

Example: if i have visited a doctor 6 times last year ; and I have visited a doctor 9 times this year before June, it means that my health is getting worse and I need to make drastic changes.

DR Ngubane app tracks weight and doctor visits in a 4-month cycle, the users can use this information to improve their life style habits. The idea is to find correlation between illness and being overweight and also detect if an individual’s health is getting worse or getting batter. Being overweight means you’re more likely to see the doctor, if you decide to improve your life style habits you’ll start to see the number of doctor visits decrease on each given period.
