for any injury, etc. A system has to be maintained for prompting and confirming

1. If a physician does not have time, it has been clearly proved beyond doubt that
paramedical workers can share and complete their work. Several evidences are

2. Now the next step is to maintain a record, which should be simple and which can be

3. The third and final step is to create gadgets which can embed the physician experience, knowledge, and skill effectively and simply so that the paramedical worker
and patient themselves can use it.
Figure 12.2 explains the objective of this relationship between the patient, physician, and the paramedical worker.
