10 New Ideas

1.Unit dose candy partition bottles
It is a system where there is a ready to mix and ready to take medicine for both adults and children alike. The system is in collapsible bottles that can be put in the chiller. There is a partition between the medicine and the diluent/syrup with flavors. The only thing the mother will do is to squeeze the bottle so that the drug component and diluent will mix together and this will be the exact dose unlike what is done if the drug will be coming from one bottle. The bottles are light and handy that it can be stored almost anywhere.
Inspiration: It is always inconvenient to mothers to suspend and re-suspend solutions and suspensions for their children. Most of the time they will not be able to get the most accurate dose because some are left in the spoon or measuring cups. They can't also give the due doses when they are not around because their children can't take them on their own.  
Target market: for mothers and kids

2.Heating clay
The heating clay is like an instant conductor of heat for food, feedings, milk and other stuffs. All the user should do is to stick and spread the clay over a small portion of the bottle or plate and let it emit its heat. The heat can be up to 35 degrees enough to heat the food or beverage. It can also be used in heating other items to disinfect them.
Inspiration: During rainy season and cool months of December to January, most people would like hot food and beverage. The containers could only last for some time. Milk bottles can't be reheated when outdoors using large sterilizers as well as Tube feeding for patients on nasogastric tubes. With the clay you don't have to bring the containers to and from the house to sterilize them.
Target market: Mothers, medical facility catering patients on tube feedings and young adults.

New Ideas in Entrepreneurship

1.    CARE    - Hospice CAre Equipment for REnt.

Hospice and Palliative Care is care for the terminally-ill which aims to provide comprehensive relief of symptoms using the skills of a mix of health disciplines, together with education and assistance for both patient and family so that they are able to maintain care in the place which best suits the patient's needs.

In the Philippines, putting our terminally-ill loved ones in a nursing home is uncommon rather we manage to care for our loved ones in our very own home which normally does not have the machines, hospital beds, medical equipment in order to give the needed care for them and such equipment will entail a lot of money too.  Thus the idea of renting it will be a way to cut down on expenses in hospice care. Instead of putting your money in buying all of those equipment which might only be used for some months or so the idea of renting it will be a better option.

2.    GRAB Pwheels  – grab a car customized for Persons with Disability (PWD)

 Being in a family with a PWD (person with disability) brother is a big challenge and a responsibility as well. My eldest brother has polio and currently on crutches and braces.  I feel the pain and the limitation on his movement affecting his daily social life.  Although I can provide him a car the access needed for PWD needs is very much limited in the usual car design. As of now a customized car for PWD is not yet available.  The idea of GRAB Pwheels is an option to offer where a PWD Car can be accessed through GRAB apps and be there right in your doorstep plus the car will have a customized design suited for PWD needs.

3.    G-STRINGS – from the G strings of Mangyans of Mindoro, aim to provide delivery services like LBC  concept in the whole province of  Oriental Mindoro

It is a delivery service provider like any other delivery company but the difference will be its personnel which is mostly Mangyan Professionals of Oriental Mindoro.  The delivery System will cater the whole island of Oriental Mindoro from Calapan to Bulalacao. This will also serve as an avenue of giving job opportunities to the Mangyans aimed to remove discrimination in hiring marginalized groups.

4.    Christmas Tree/Christmas Decors Rental or Event Décor Rentals

Event Decorations more so putting up a Christmas tree entails a lot of money. The high price of the Christmas tree and the different decorations to be used to make it more attractive can drain your Christmas budget in exchange for a month of happiness. A big budget which you only store in the garage for the next 12 months hoping that it can still be used in the next Christmas season. Giving the shoppers the option of renting all these decors may sound more economical.

5.    SOLAR WALLS  - Solar Panels as House walls

 Our society can't continue to work on oil, and with rising gas prices and more frequent power outages, solar energy seems to be the way to go. With the goal of keeping all electronics up and running no matter what the weather and grid status is the main reason why I become interested in solar panels. We usually see solar panels above the roof, as a double roofing of the house but not all roof are wide and the space may be limited in putting up solar panels so the idea of why not install it as house walls. Installing it as House Walls can be a more useful idea, this will not only resolve the space limitation if we use our roof but also using the panel as the house actual wall.

6.     EVENT MARKET - Themed Flea Market Organizer with a twist, the flea market will have different "themes" to be offered.

Flea markets are a multimillion peso business in the Philippines and organizing it entails a bigger opportunity.  We can see a lot of weekend flea markets nowadays which somehow look the same.  Why not offering it with a different themes every weekend to make the consumers and vendors as well to  become  more inquisitive of what it is to offer thereby increase its profit potential and long term growth opportunity.

7.     RENT-A - CAKE

They say a cake is the star of every occasion or event. The idea of rent-a-cake came into my mind as I experienced the tedious planning in buying or ordering a cake- from deciding on what theme, color, accessories, height, size, flavor etc. can really stress you out. Not to mention that the cake will only be viewed/ used for few minutes in most of the events. Thus, instead of buying so costly cakes especially on wedding day why not offer a cake for rent.  Cakes to be offered are not edible it will only have a part that is edible for cutting purposes in wedding celebration. The idea of renting not only lessen the tedious task in preparing for a cake but also lessen the costly price of the cake.

8.    Pets Holiday Inn – offering an Inn for your lovely pets while you are in vacation

Much as pet lovers wanted to bring along their pets in their vacation, some places do not allow pets.  Giving the pet lovers the option of not only putting their pets in cages the idea of giving them their own "holiday inn" place where their pets can feel like they too are in vacation galore. This will be a place complete with staff trained to handle pets, complete with board and lodging accommodations and foods for their pets stay likewise, several pet activities will be offered as part of the package for their pets during the stay.

9.    SENIORS CAMP –  resort type retirement home for Senior Citizens with offer of shares/ stocks  for all seniors

It is a retirement home for our elderly loved ones, a beach resort complete with amenities of a five star resort but designed with access for the needs of the elderly people. It will be a place where senior citizens can relax and socialize with other senior citizens.   An offer of shares/stocks will be used as a means of acquiring ownership and membership to the camp.

10.  DAILY'S AUTOMATED SARI-SARI STORE

 An automated sari-sari store, operating 24 hours daily, that is more like an enormous dispensing machine than the traditional store.  Cutting on the labor costs and better inventory of supplies will be resolved with the idea of automation. Instead of hiring several staff to man the sari-sari store which entails labor issues as to wages and benefits, investing on automated machine could be a better idea and will give a twist on sari-sari store business.

1.    Hydrocolloidal antibiotic and anti-inflammatory dressing with an adhesive for sensitive skin.

             Dermal fillers and botox treatments are among the top 3 most common aesthetic procedures being performed worldwide. (Clear skin MD, 2015) The trend is also not limited to the type of procedure but an important factor that most of aesthetic patients consider is the "downtime". Downtime is a term that provides the length of time from which a person will experience any unappealing sequalae of a procedure. For example, a patient that comes in for a dermal filler or botox treatment, both entailing tiny punctures from fine needles may have a 50% possibility of incurring bruises and inflammation after the procedure, however, these bruises and inflammation will spontaneously subside in 3 to 5 days, hence the downtime is 3 to 5 days. The current trend on patient demand is the desire to have minimally invasive procedures done, such as botox and fillers without any downtime, a feat that dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons must address. Hence having a post treatment dressing that is not in the form of a visible band-aid which not only provides protection to the puncture wound but at the same time administer an antibiotic and provide hemostasis will be a valuable tool for post procedure patient care.

   A round transparent hydrocolloidal dressing with adhesive (suited for sensitive skin) would be a more attractive post procedure dressing than a typical band-aid as it would be barely noticeable due to it's size and transparent color. The size would not exceed 0.5x0.5cm, which would more than suffice in covering the entry point of needles. The dressing will serve as a temporary "plug" on the puncture sites, contributing to hemostasis, decreasing bruising and swelling after the procedure, decreasing downtime.          An added benefit incorporated into the hydrocolloidal dressing would be the administration of an antibiotic. A topical antibiotic cream and ointment prevents any adhesive from attaching to skin, hence if the antibiotic is already incorporated into the dressing, this dilemma will be addressed.

   The overall benefit would be better post procedure patient care and higher satisfaction rate from patients. In line with the current demand of patients who desire aesthetic procedures without the downtime, the hydrocolloidal dressing can offer a better option, decreasing the probability of downtime.

   There are already existing hydrocolloidal manufacturers worldwide, however most of these products that are readily available in local pharmacies are limited to major surgical wound care such as trauma, burn and ulcers. The products are large in size and thick, not ideal for post aesthetic procedure wound care. There are manufacturers of "invisible" hydrocolloidal dressing in Korea and China which approximates the size of what can be acceptable to dress aesthetic procedures, the cost is at least P0.05 per piece without the antibiotic.

2.    Fiber-less surgical sponge to reduce risk and probability of foreign body (fibers) being left behind in the operative field during surgery.

             The most common post-operative complication that any surgeon can encounter is infection. Therefore all precautionary measures are taken before, during and after surgery to lessen the probability of this complication, typically with antibiotics and septic-aseptic technique. However, the materials from which sponges are made comprise of thin white fibers that has a tendency to fall apart. Any fiber that separates from the sponge which has already absorbed blood is sometimes difficult to notice and detect, hence there is a risk that these fibers may be left behind in the operative field during surgery which will later on be a cause of infection and delay wound healing. 

             The fiber-less surgical sponge would actually be a modified version of the sponge with the simple solution that the edges are folded inward and secured with either a hypoallergenic adhesive or mere suturing, so that no fiber edge will be exposed and prone to being detached.

             The benefit of such a minor innovation will go a long way when it comes to preventing post surgical infection secondary to foreign body. A roll of surgical sponge which is the basic material costs PHP800-1,000 and can make at least 2,000 pcs. of 2x2 surgical sponges. Additional manufacturing expenses will be labor for the suturing of the folded ends and autoclaving the finished product for sterility.

NU10  - Innovative Ideas

NU1: SALADDIN - Fresh Salad Greens from Farm to Doorstep

Leading a healthy lifestyle is a growing concern. A primary consideration is eating the right food and knowing how it was grown. Freshness on delivery is likewise a challenge. This is almost impossible to do in a busy supermarket or grocery. Weekend markets may offer a solution but may still be tedious and at times inconsistent.  The need therefore arises for a steady reliable supply of naturally grown food delivered fresh to ones' doorstep.

The solution is linking a natural farm and its products to consumers by means of an online ordering application. This ensures that the food is delivered fresh and the supply meets the demand. The farm can offer its available products at the appropriate harvest time and fill the orders according to demand. There is no wastage of supply as everything harvested has already been ordered. The food is harvested very early in the morning and delivered directly to consumers via pick-up points wherever convenient. Frequent ordering may eventually lead to a subscription service if so desired by the consumers. The key innovation here is improved access to products and connecting to a distinct customer segment. The wish of the health-conscious has been granted with SALADDIN.

NU2: FARMHIRAM - Farm Equipment Rental

Farming techniques in the rural areas are laborious and slow. Cleaning a field for weeds and tilling the soil may take days of labor. Small-scale farmers often do not have the modern equipment to do these tasks easier and faster. Lack of capital to invest in equipment prevents the ordinary farmer from realizing a more abundant harvest. The need to be fulfilled is bringing modern farming equipment and machinery within the reach of the ordinary farmer.

The solution is investing in small portable farm tractors and equipment that can be rented by farmers to make their processes more efficient. Foremost among the list is a tractor to till the soil (replacing the carabao), grass cutters, chain saws, portable rice mills and dryers. Equipment may be rented together with the operators to ensure proper care and maintenance. This should make our farmers more productive at a minimal cost to them. The innovation is improved access to technology resulting to improved productivity.

NU3: BIKE TANAY -Tanay Mountain Bike Tour and Rental

The town of Tanay in the province of Rizal is a mountain biker's haven. There are many challenging and scenic trails to enjoy.  However most of these trails are uncharted and one can easily get lost in the terrain. There are some guides and suggestions from people who have experienced the ride as well as a few big tour operators (none local to the area). Getting to the trails is likewise challenging if one comes all the way from Manila. Having the right equipment (bikes, helmets, vehicle carriers) and logistics (food, drinks) also matter in a successful ride. The need arises for a local accredited bike tour operator to service the area.

The inspiration here is a tour operator providing services for white-water rafting in Cagayan de Oro. I was there for a business trip and had very limited time on my hands. The tour operator was able to provide the experience for the time window that I had with minimal preparation on my part.

A bike tour operator can provide detailed information on trails (highlights, difficulty levels), equipment (the bike itself, helmets, service) and logistics. One can enjoy a charted route with minimal preparation. It is very convenient for people who want the biking experience but do not have the complete equipment available to them. This may appropriate for novice and beginning riders, local and international tourists, and yes people who do not even own a bike. Bookings can be coordinated thru an online platform. Rental bikes can be secured with GPS trackers. The tour operator also provides employment to locals in the community effectively motivating them to preserve and care for the natural environment. The result is an improved appreciation for the sport and the locality of Tanay.

NU4: HERBREF -Indoor Hydroponic Herb Garden using old refrigerators

Fresh herbs enhance the flavor of food. They also carry good nutritional value. It is best when herbs are freshly picked and mixed with food immediately. The problem is availability and supply. You can only get them from specialty groceries and the quality is often unsatisfactory. It would be nice to have your own herb garden in your kitchen supplying your everyday needs.

Old refrigerators can be bought cheap at junk shops. They can be customized into a growing cabinet with good insulating properties. They can be fitted with fans for temperature and humidity control. Growing lights can be installed with strip LED bulbs and controlled by automatic timers. Hydroponic growing systems can be fitted into a vertical stack to maximize space.

The growing units can be sold complete with accessories to customers. It comes with complete instructions and a starter supply of nutrient solution. The business can also earn from sale of nutrient solution and maintenance of growing boxes. This satisfies the need for fresh herbs and provides a recycling path for old refrigerator units. Target market would be middle to upper income households as well as gourmet restaurants that can accommodate space for the growing boxes.   

NU5: AMOY PINOY – truly Filipino fragrances

The perfume and fragrance business is a multi-million dollar industry. Most of the technology, expertise and brands are based in Europe and the US. Our standards and preferences for scents are actually adopted from western standards. A fragrance company called Jo Malone recently set up shop in Makati and they introduced the idea of selling individual scents from natural sources in nature like citrus, grapefruit, sandalwood, freesia. One can purchase several scents and experiment on combining them to come up with a unique scent. The Jo Malone fragrances are very expensive and feature only fragrances from western sources.

We have a number of local fragrances that are very appealing. Take for example dama de noche, ilang-ilang, sampaguita and other wild flowers. There are also delightful fruity scents like dalandan and mango. Let's not include durian yet as the market may not be ready for it. There are natural scents from trees and leaves like Baguio pine, Mahogany, Citronella, Pandan, Pinipig, and Cinnamon etc. The idea here is to extract local scents from different locations in the Philippines and manufacture perfumes that express a truly local flavor. Filipinos may associate easily with these scents because they are most familiar with it. The scent scan be sold in small sizes to encourage customers to buy several and experiment on combining them. The business promotes our local produce and establishes a distinct Filipino identity. Truly AMOY PINOY!

NU6: HEALTHY COCKTAILS – Local Herb-infused alcoholic drinks

There's nothing like having a few drinks after a hard day. It relaxes and recharges the senses. Although this can be bad in excess there is a way to add good nutrients to the drinks and make them "healthier". The inspiration here is the classic drink called the Mojito. It's a very popular cocktail heavily infused with mint leaves.  

  

There are local herbs with excellent antioxidant properties. Most notable are malunggay, oregano, lemongrass, and cucumber. These can be infused with local spirits like gin and rum to create drinks that can offer true nutritional value. These can be marketed as bottled drinks or promoted initially in a "healthy bar". 

NU7: MATALINAW: Ophthalmic TeleHealth System

Bringing healthcare to far-flung areas is oftentimes challenging. There are around 1,800 eye specialists in the Philippines but most of them are in the urban areas because practicing the craft requires specialized equipment. The specialty is literally very "visual" in a sense because we can actually see what is wrong by seeing the numerous parts of the eye. This is an ideal specialty for telehealth – diagnosis can be based on good imaging.

Imaging systems have evolved and improved considerably. There are portable high definition cameras that can be operated by laymen with special training. These can image the different parts of the eye and provide good quality pictures for evaluation of a specialist. A team of laymen and nurses can be organized and equipped with basic screening cameras and they can be deployed to far-flung areas at regular intervals. The images and data can be sent online to a central station manned by eye specialists. Patients that need specialty care can then be identified and arranged to be seen by specialists. The group earns by providing surgical services while the screening can remain free. This is one way to increase the influx of patients to a practice. This also benefits the patients by making their screening visit free and being able to diagnose eye conditions earlier. A smarter way to deliver eye healthcare – Matalinaw!

NU8: 2^nd OPINION: Online Ophthalmology Diagnostic Reading Center

Ophthalmology employs numerous diagnostic tests to identify eye diseases accurately. Subspecialists in the fields of glaucoma, retina and external disease best interpret most of these tests. There may not be local available experts in some parts of the country. There can also be a need for individually practicing ophthalmologists to get another opinion for their challenging and difficult cases.

This service can be offered online with images beamed to a central server. The server can be secured and integrity and confidentiality of the data preserved. Ophthalmologists can avail of the service by subscription or as per test. An initial reading can be provided as well as an over-read of previous tests. Bringing together recognized subspecialists is key to this endeavor. This is like bringing a radiologist reading room online. The online platform can significantly expand the reach of subspecialty services and benefit patients nationwide.

NU9: NEIGHBORHOOD NIGHT CLINICS: Medical and Dental services after office hours

Medical and Dental services are usually provided during regular office hours. The patients have to miss work or school to be able to avail of these services. There is also the growing trend towards practices being hospital-based or mall-based. The doctor practicing in his place of residence within the community is growing rare. This project intends to revive the home-based medical and dental practice.

Consultation will be done at a clinic in a residential area from 8PM-12MN. There will be numerous MD's practicing at defined schedules during the week. The logistics are the same as a regular clinic except that there will be added security systems as well as accepting cash or credit card payments exclusively. The clinic cannot honor HMO patients because there are no approval systems after office hours. This allows the doctors to charge premium payments for the services offered.

NU10: MIND YOUR GLAUCOMA: Glaucoma Reminder App

Glaucoma is a chronic disease that tends to be progressive if inadequately treated. The end result if not properly treated is permanent blindness. Most glaucoma patients require eyedrops that are instilled at regular intervals. There are also regular glaucoma tests and follow-up consultations. Compliance with all of these schedules is crucial for glaucoma patients to preserve their vision.

The Glaucoma reminder app is installed in the cellphone of patients and guardians. This activates the cellphone alarm to provide notifications for eyedrops or consults. The app can also be a source of data and information about glaucoma. A built-in forum or discussion board can provide an avenue for patient support. A 24-7 hotline can also be set-up to provide emergency services. This simple app can hopefully improve the compliance of glaucoma patients and thereby decrease the occurrence of glaucoma blindness worldwide.

NU10 #8 WATER HOSE with HOLES and SPECIAL ADAPTOR for VERTICAL GARDENS by Rosalyn P. Donato

NU10 #8 WATER HOSE with HOLES and SPECIAL ADAPTOR for VERTICAL GARDENS by Rosalyn P. Donato

The Background

With the climate change and consciousness on environmental issues, there is a  trend towards the "greening" of the urban centers. This led to the popularity of vertical gardens. These gardens are sights to behold especially when they are lush. At least for those installed in our metropolis' major thoroughfares, I cannot help but think that those who designed them did not realize how these gardens can be sustained.  Most of them where placed in areas where they won't be viable and maintaining them can pose a challenge. And most of the time, even just watering them can aggravate the traffic conditions in the area.  

How the Innovation Will Work

By installing a regular sized water hose with tiny holes running through the different layers of the vertical garden can help in the viability of the plants. The hose should be connected to a water supply which can be turned on and off in a scheduled time. 

Gains from the Innovation 

By having a steady water supply to these vertical gardens, the viability of the plants in this type of gardens will be ensured. Watering them will be an easy task performed by less people, reducing manpower costs as well. It will also avoid the traffic caused along major thoroughfares when they use the water trucks in maintaining these vertical gardens. 

Implementation of the Innovation 

The water hose with tiny holes will be installed in a horizontal fashion in the different levels of the vertical garden. The water hose designed with a special adaptor will be connected to a water supply. The water supply maybe tapped from an existing water plumbing/pipe system in the area. This can be controlled remotely by a knob wherein the "gardener" can make his rounds at scheduled time to turn on and off the control. This will ensure that the plants will be watered adequately and therefore be maintained beautifully.  3,5

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
The performance of turbo charged engines are not maximized in the tropical countries because of the inherently higher ambient temperatures.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
The trend in the automotive industry to increase the output or power of a motor is has shifted from increasing the displacement or size of the motor to pressurizing or boosting the air entering the engine thru turbocharging or supercharging. In this manner, smaller displacement engines which are fuel efficient can match the power output of bigger gas guzzling engines.

The main limitation in turbocharging applications is the heat generated when the air is compressed or pressurized by the turbo. It is a known fact that the hotter the air entering the combustion chamber, the less will be the expansion of the air- fuel mixture during the combustion process resulting to lesser force or power generated by the motor compared to cold air entering the engine.

The most common way of cooling the air after passing thru the turbo is thru the use of an air to air intercooler. This is an effective solution but is limited by the size and location of the intercooler as well as the ambient temperature. There must be a more effective and efficient way of addressing this issue.

The idea is to use a more effective way of lowering the air temperature entering the combustion chamber by using a refrigerant type of intercooler similar to the evaporator being used in our car air conditioners. It will use the same aircon compressor but will need additional plumbing of the refrigerant lines to allow a second aircon evaporator to cool the turbocharged air before entering the engine. This is similar to "dual-aircons" that we have in vans or larger SUV's.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This innovation will dramatically lower the charged air entering the motor resulting to a more powerful combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This will make possible the use of smaller displacement motors producing the same output as a bigger traditionally intercooled motors.

This will also result to a smaller and lighter intercooler.

This is another concept that can improve the volumetric efficiency of motors and contribute to fuel efficiency.

2) Water pressure tanks air-water level maintainer

PAIN ENCOUNTERED

Water pressure tanks usually suffer from water log. And you have to keep on regularly adding air in the tank or bladder of the tank to maintain the correct air-water level and prevent the pressure pump motor from running even of just a small amount of water is used. This frequent or premature running of the pump motor results to a higher electricity usage as the highest current usage of a motor is during the start up of the motor.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
A small air compressor similar to the portable air compressors we have for inflating tires can be built into the system to regularly infuse air into the tank to maintain the correct preset pressure of the air in the bladder in the tank.


ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This will result to a more consistent air-water level and prevent water "log" from happening which results to decreased frequency of the pump motor running. This will reduce electricity consumption and prolong the life of the pump motor.

7) MRT / LRT Tandem Trains

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
Our MRT system has limited capacity resulting to very long lines. This has also discouraged the public from taking this form of transportation and instead just drive their own cars resulting to the the worsening of our traffic problems.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
We can increase the passenger carrying capacity of our MRT system by installing double the number of cars per Train.

There will be no need to increase the size of the station platforms. The train will initially stop at the platform and only the doors of the train cars in the front half will open. The doors on the train cars at remaining rear half that is still not positioned properly on the platform will remain closed. After 20 seconds, the front doors will close. The train will move slightly forward until the rear half of the train cars are positioned properly on the platform. Then the doors on the rear half of the train will open to load and unload passengers. This time, the doors on the cars in the front of the train will remain closed.

Upgrading of the trains power and brakes will also be in order to accommodate the additional load.

An upgrading of the signaling and communication systems will also be done.


ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This is an easily implementable task. There will be no need to implement expensive structural changes in the MRT train platforms.

NU 10 #3 by Rosalyn P. Donato (appointment apps)

NU 10 #3 CLINIC APPOINTMENT APP by Rosalyn P. Donato

The Background:

Setting an appointment for a medical consultation is always a hassle and could be time consuming especially if one is trying to call the trunk line of the hospital. In this era of connectivity through the different media platforms, developing an appointment scheduler application will prove to be very convenient for both patients and doctors. Both can manage their time well thereby promoting efficiency in the delivery of service making both parties happy.

How the Innovation will work: 

A company will solicit the participation of the doctors who wish to be included in the data base of the app. Doctors should supply all the relevant data to their medical practice especially real time appointment schedule. Once an app is developed and offered free of service through the IOS and Android operating systems of the different gadgets, patients or relatives can access the online services of the different doctors enrolled in the application.

Gains from the Innovation:

Having an app in one's gadget will facilitate the setting of a medical appointment schedule to one's doctor through the fingertips so to speak. It may seem a small gesture but it gives convenience to both patients and doctors because time can be managed well for both of them. The app will feature the announcement of doctors' unavailability on certain dates due to conferences and other scheduled activities, thereby avoiding unnecessary travels by patients to the clinic saving time and money.  Additionally, the app will also be a marketing opportunity for doctors to create awareness of his medical practice. Efficiency in the delivery of service will be the most important benefit and it can in one way or another alleviate the suffering of the patients.

Implementation of the Innovation: 

Doctors will be encouraged to enroll in the database of a particular managing company that hosts the app with a minimal membership fee. Relevant information about the doctor especially the real time clinic appointment scheduler can be accessed through the app. The host server will link up the doctors' system to the app so that it will be real time. Initial information of the patient can already be filled up when setting the appointment online so that by the time the patient gets to the clinic, he/she is ready to be seen by the doctor minimizing waiting time. Overall, this system creates efficiency of service.    4
