designed to enhance the patient's self-awareness
and responsibility toward developing and
maintaining healthier lifestyles. These programs
provide education to help patients understand the
role they play in their health and wellness.

Data Informatics System
Each medical brigade station has laptops where
patient information is entered and routed via a
local server to the next station. Records are
ultimately stored for follow up and to track
patient history and studied to discover health
