# LabConcept--A New Mobile Healthcare Platform for Standardizing Patient Results in Telemedicine
## 5 Discussion and Conclusions  
The LabConcept application is an experimental platform designed to simulate a novel telemedicine software, which simplifies, centralizes and processes the medical data for the patients, which are analyzed by the doctors using a communication channel via e-mail. It stores all the results of the assays performed at the public or private laboratories, which are loaded via a camera that scans the QR code embedded on the assay bulletin, converts and uploads them into a specific database. The idea of a QR code on the assay bulletin must be implemented at a large scale in order for the platform to be useful and efficient for the end-users. Along with this idea, another novelty consists in the existence of the pre-diagnostic feature. This function automatically interprets the results based on predefined rules and alarms if the results are outside the normal range that is set in the application. When an abnormality is detected, a message pops-up to alert the user about the possible diagnostic and thus, the patient should discuss with a doctor about his clinical state. The patient can send the entire record to the medical doctor for professional interpretation of the results. Both patient and the medical doctor can add comments in the blood domain database in order to monitor the evolution of the clinical state and even review the comments later, at another consultation, having the entire medical record and clinically judging by analyzing the previous comments. There is no need to make a physical appointment because everything can be done by sending the results via LabConcept and the doctor can load the database containing the patient's results to his mobile platform. The doctor can also add comments in the patient's database and send them back to him to update it in his application. When the next consultation takes place, the doctor has the entire medical record filtered by assay domains, including the comments made, which can involve mainly observations about the evolution of the disease compared to the administrated medicine. The application is visual, easy to use, very perceptive and its features are new. It is designed from the background using the original authors' ideas and it is very helpful in the following cases:  
* It saves time by scheduling the appointment virtually, involving no contact between the patient and the medical personnel, eliminating the risk of contamination in case of viral transmitted diseases;
* It keeps the entire medical record, which can be exported and sent. In this way, the clinical judgement is increased because the doctor can observe every aspect regarding the patient's medical history;
* It is a modern approach, which is a part of a domain that is in continuous development for the long term in the future. This argument is sustained by the survey [28; 29] done on 96 random participants from the potential users in the patient areas and 18 general practitioners of different ages divided into four categories: 20-35, 36-50, 51-60, 61-75 years old. The survey contains three simple questions regarding the ease of use, the LabConcept's utility and if the participants would recommend this platform to other users. The results of the survey were centralized and analyzed. A positive answer of 52% was obtained of the total potential patients/users and 66% of the total general practitioners that consider the platform easy to use, 48.25% of the total users and 66% of the general practitioners admitted that the platform is very useful and 61% from the users and 61% from the general practitioners would recommend LabConcept to other potential users. The LabConcept platform has unique and novel features compared to Doxy.me, eVisit, Vsee, Teladoc, TheraPlatform, Coviu and Chiron Health [30; 31; 32; 33; 34]. These examples of software are focused only on end-to-end video call consultations, except Teladoc and eVisit, which have also billing and electronic prescription capabilities.
