Abstract: With the growing healthcare crisis, a rising number of people are being afflicted by diseases that they are unaware of. People in cities may have easy access to health care but people in rural areas rarely have access to high-quality care. In urban areas, there is the availability of health workers and advanced health care but the peoples in rural areas don’t have these services which led to serious cases and sometimes even death. Brief information regarding the disease and patient state will reduce the damage and will provide information for future actions. Thus, this study purposes a health information system which serves as a link between urban doctors and rural residents. It gives general knowledge about various diseases. The framework offers more reliable results, since, data obtained from users via. a huge number of Android devices users is more accurate than data obtained from a sample survey. The obtained data can be used to forecast upcoming events which can aid in the distribution of future health-related services.
