Zain Group, a leading mobile telecom innovator in eight markets across the Middle East and Africa, has signed an MoU with Myca Health for the development and implementation of mobile electronic medical health record (EMR) platform across Zain’s network. The service is planned to be gradually rolled out across Zain markets in the second-half of 2017 and to be customized by the telco for each specific market.
Myca is a Canadian- based leader in the development of unique proprietary software for scalable IT web based platforms. Myca’s expertise extends to mobile telephone networks, permitting cost effective and time efficient management of access and delivery of health and medical services to its users.
Once fully implemented, the project will allow Zain to offer to its users a controlled and secured mobile interface for access to physician services, scheduling of appointments, non-face to face mobile consultations, and access to electronic prescriptions, among other services. The Zain mobile health interface (patient portal) will also include secure storage of all health records on a user’s mobile device, together with health and wellness applications that track nutrition and exercise, and allow monitoring of remote patient care management as needed.
