All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Nagpur launched its mobile application for the public wherein they can book their appointments for outpatient department (OPD) consultation in any specialty for a specific consultant.
The application ‘e-Vidya’ is available on the Google play store. The system is also integrated with a payment portal for first time registrations and those revisiting after six months.
Dr Rao launched the application at AIIMS premises. Deputy director, administration Vijay kumar Naik was also present during the launch.
Dr Rao further demonstrated the application live in front of the audience present and showcased the booking process and facilitated the first appointment for a patient under follow-up at AIIMS, Nagpur.
This facility saves time waiting at the queue in the hospital for registration as patients are ensured direct consultation at the time slot given. This also removes inconvenience of patients due to non-availability of the consultant on the day
