Healthcare is not just being well, it's a norm for everyone which is ought to be followed and thought over! Healthcare industry in India is amongst the top industries in terms of business and revenue. While the maximum health aspects are covered but, one is left untouched!

N number of healthcare app are launching and getting importance but what is to be thought over is the patient needs. How he really wants healthcare to be. Patients are not always in a need of medicine delivery apps, they never think like doctors, they have an altogether different perspective to deal with their medical issues.

According to the survey by Forbes, some common patient thinking procedure and needs are listed below :-

High Priority for Patients :

• The maximum number of patients focus on treating their illness and finding an immediate solution to their medical emergencies but never go deep down to the roots to treat the disease.
• People need everything quick! Immediate care is what needed.
• The patients want to keep hope, no matter how dire the situation turns out to be, they need options at the time of emergencies which can help at the moment.
• They need space, if one gets admitted in the hospital they need a private bathroom with no room mates.
• Patients need to pay least possible price for their medical issues and want an extra coverage of either insurance or third party to stand at their back.
• Patients wants their doctor to be best qualified but can never believe on his years of experience but rely on word of mouth.
• They always prefer short term treatments or the ones which do not include more effort, surgeries and other clinical treatments is a big no for them!

While it's not just thinking, it's something which every stakeholder or entrepreneur needs to understand at their level too. The regular launches of medicine delivery app are undoubtedly contributing to the convenience of people but lacking another aspect.

The patient's perspective is a clear view of how they need healthcare to be. In the race of numerous healthcare startups making their way towards health market, these points may help them grow and reach to the level where patient needs are fulfilled, because in the end it's the patient for whom they are working and expecting to achieve success.

People are happy with the applications as they get the convenience to order medicine online but, they have some expectations with the healthcare apps. The survey does not crib on the mentality what a patient carry but actually help the makers to understand and respect the user reviews and work on their products to serve the patients better.
