2 - Enrolment in the MCTS system

Sona registers the child’s name, address and birth certificate, as well as Sowmya’s name, phone number and ID as the caretaker of her child

MCTS automatically validates the birth certificate and Sowmya’s ID with the government’s citizen records system

Sowmya creates an account with electronic health records (EHRs) and a barcoded unique ID card for getting further assistance

MCTS connects Sowmya’s phone number to the child’s ID and enables permissions for Sona to electronically coordinate various services for Sowmya

4 - Paediatrician visits

The paediatrician swipes the baby’s ID card to access and study the baby’s EHRs and update information, findings and prescriptions

Sona books appointments
for future immunization and follow-up visits and orders nutrition and medicine as per the paediatrician’s prescription

During the first year, the paediatrician tracks the development of the child and finds early signs of autism

Sona books an appointment for the therapy centre and downloads autism information from MCTS to Sowmya’s mobile phone

5 - Procuring medicine and nutrition supplies

Sowmya goes to the pharmacy and presents her MCTS card to the pharmacist

The pharmacist scans the barcode on Sowmya’s card to retrieve her MCTS record from the system and matches it with the e-prescription received.

The pharmacist fills the prescription, assesses the instructions Sowmya has already received from her physician, and reinforces the benefits of Sowmya following the instructions

The therapist helps Sowmya download a rehab application from MCTS onto her mobile phone. The therapist also educates Sowmya on how to monitor the child and record her observations into the MCTS system from her phone
