How does the BHW receive medical diagnosis by the Doctor? through SMS?
Printout?2
The BHW receives the medical diagnoses through The Alalay Mobile App. She then
sends it to patient via SMS or F2F consultation
The Alalay Mobile App can work without any Internet connection. Once The Alalay
Mobile App detects an Internet connection, then it will automatically upload the data to
the Cloud database.
How is the limited to poor WiFi and cell phone signal in rural areas addressed?1
Will the BHW have enough time to do all that on top what he/she is already
doing?3
This app will save BHW time to do this. Instead of double entry writing Philhealth
reports, they will just be typing the data on their mobile phone once.

33. 5
It will be unlikely that the BHW will be able to contact the Specialists directly, so
where will all these data be forwarded to? There will be a lot of information sifting
and categorizing -- Who will be in charge of that?
5
The BHW will be trained to use The Alalay Mobile App to refer to the Doctor who in turn
will refer to the Specialists in the area through The Alalay Web App. All data will be
stored on the Cloud, which is accessed by the medical group, who decides to use The
Alalay for patient treatment.
The trainors training will be done by ATI in LGU test sites. The BHWs, Doctors, and
Laboratory Personnel will be trained on how to use The Alalay Mobile and Web
Applications.
Who will be conducting the training for the users, and how is a support network
strategized, especially in the most far flung areas in the country?4

34. 5
How can it be guaranteed that the specialist will be looking into the patient's
information with a sense of urgency?6
Before the name of the doctor appears in The Alalay Mobile App, he/she would have
already agreed in joining/using the innovation. The doctor should already be aware that he
will be receiving messages from The Alalay Mobile App. There will also be an expiration
period prompting the BHW to contact someone else if the doctor does not respond within
the allotted period.

 Developed and implemented the first cloud-based Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) system (iMD) in the country. It has been running in doctor’s offices, clinics
and hospitals in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. In some clinics, for as long as 8
years.
 Our EMR has been selected as one of PLDT’s Cloud-based applications. The EMR
has been white-labeled as PLDT Cloud EMR for marketing to the telco’s customers.
 The EMR system for Lifeline Ambulance clinics, coordination with their fully
equipped alpha EQR ambulances, which serve as virtual emergency rooms on
wheels.
 Developed the technical roadmap for the improvement of the Intellicare HMO
clinic information processing system.
