Abstract
Technology in healthcare system has proved its significance. Mobile phones are assessed by the endless users in Indian population. Looking towards the pervasive usage of mobile phones can be contextualize in healthcare system to deliver health benefits in our population. Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission is functioning as National Coordination Centre for Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI). PvPI in technical collaboration with Netaji Subash Chandra Bose (NSCB) Medical College, Jabalpur developed Mobile (android) app for Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) reporting. This is a paperless, simple and quickly assessed through which ADRs can be reported. Morover causality algorithm is objective based rather than subjective. This facility will reduce the workload of healthcare professionals in reporting ADRs. This innovative development would be effective tool in promoting welfare of the patients.
