Motorola's Innovator's Challenge

Started with another challenge, namely Motorola's Innovation Challenge. My other team members are "Saurabh Vats" and "Shekhar Kumar". Thought to write a blog about it, as then experts could comment on how to improve our idea.

"We propose an effective information system which works in a bidirectional way for the doctor and the patient to provide information to both parties and hence maintain a synchronization for much more effective method of Vaccination. The system is capable of taking the input information of child birth other related things then it can process the data to generate a schedule for child vaccination. It can also keep track of the doctors devoted to the area and can send them related information, hence a doctor is automatically informed for when, where and how many children need which kind of vaccination."

Now, dealing with technical side. There will be a representative from a group of villages who will give the information about newborns via SMS, Call or postcard. The difficult one to implement is communication via SMS, where the data will be updated in the database directly through a Single SMS.

We plan to do it using a Server (Running Debian), use KMobileTools which will actually work when a new SMS arrives on the phone connected to the server through Cable. The new SMS will trigger the script which will update the database.

Now this database can be accessed by any doctor through Websites or through notifications on mobile phone through SMS.

I am definitely convinced that our team can make this challenge come true.
