Who recommended the doctors:people ratio? is there any rationality?? Recommendations and other foundations for health services  was laid by  committees ,HLEG groups,planning commission and  WHO about 60 years ago when acute infections dominated the health scenario.

 A  3-lead wireless ECG, is designed to be prescribed by a doctor and worn continuously under a patient’s clothing. It continuously sends ECG readings to the user’s Android smartphone via Bluetooth and, from there, sends the data over the mobile network to a server. The patient’s clinician can then access readings via a web browser. The device will also send the clinician an alarm when it detects irregular heart rate readings. The physician can analyze the data and send an email to the patient. If the patient is using additional Bluetooth connected devices like a weight scale or blood pressure monitor, the monitor application can display that data as well. Users can elect to enable a GPS feature in the connected app, so that first responders can find them easily in an emergency. The company recommends the device for use in research, ambulance care, pre- and post-surgical heart patients, and people expecting heart problems. A SIMPLE SENSOR to record vitals( non-in...
