Dear Raghav,
At the outset , congratulations on launching of the mobile app which shows how many beds are available in each hospital in Delhi
In long run , this app can morph enough to transform the entire Healthcare Ecosystem in entire country
In your interview with a journalist last evening on NDTV, when discrepancies were pointed out, you made following remarks :
Ø Data in respect of “ Empty Beds “ are being uploaded by each concerned Hospital authorities personnel
Ø Very often, this uploading gets delayed
Ø Sometimes , the uploaded figures are being fudged on purpose
Raghav,
As long as this ( data uploading ) process remains “ manual “ , depending upon a human , what you described above , will continue to happen !
The only PERMANENT and FOOLPROOF solution is to transfer this process from humans to TRANSPARENT – UNBIASED technology
Eg :
Simple CCTV cameras mounted on each bed – and laced with a simple software which detects whether a bed is empty or occupied – and uploading that STATUS into database, dynamically , every 10 minutes !
No big deal ! Really , extremely simple ! And neither very expensive
If you pull this off, you will set a benchmark for all other states
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
PS :
Ø I have , in the past , sent to Cabinet Ministers , many Technology-based solutions for Healthcare . If you wish, I can send to you
Ø If you so desire, I can add you to my mailing list of blogs
( yesterday’s example :

Ø Following report will show you how technology can be beneficially exploited :
Clearview AI is by far the most frightening.
Its facial-recognition app could end our ability to walk down the street anonymously.
The user takes a picture of a person, uploads it, and sees auto-populated public and semi-public photos of that person, along with links to where those photos appeared.
The system’s backbone is a database of more than three billion images that Clearview claims to have scraped from Facebook, YouTube, Venmo, and millions of other websites.
