Medical event notification system using SMS technology
Abstract:
This paper presents a medical event notification system implementation using short
message service (SMS) over the cellular network. The main objective is the announcement for
vaccination campaigns and availability of a particular medical attention at health sites where
these services are not regularly provided. In this way, it provides a tool that facilitates
healthcare in remote locations without medical assistance infrastructure. Since the main
requirement of these systems is to achieve its massive adoption, SMS service is used to
guarantee reaching all recipients regardless of their mobile device technology.
