As per WHO,”More than 2.6 Million “Avoidable Deaths” occur each year,thus WHO marked 17th September as ‘World Patient Safety Day’.A lot many underlying causes for patient safety , ineffective medicines and other common issues have come up.


Next few years necessitates the development of reliable apps for better health system.We may need to quote like "right medication in right dose to a right patient at right time by right route and right channel through right information and communication means"

 Sr. No. Name of the App Purpose
 1 Netmeds, 1mg , Pharmeasy, Medlife Online pharmacies
 2 Maya app Menstrual cycle monitoring
 3 Medisafe app, life reminders, Medplan Pills reminder & medication tracker
 4 Lifestyle diseases apps- diabeto,
 blood pressure app
 Monitor BP and blood sugar levels


With these ideas and apps, websites etc controlling them, their content is another big task that young pharmacists can take up to decrease the misuse and making available only right information and accurate dosing.

As they say “harm to the patient is a threat to the sustainability of health systems where medicines are integral part.”  So taking care of patients our utmost responsibility being in a noble profession and vital part of healthcare.
