Susuvidha Toilet tracker application


Susuvidha is an application which has emerged out of my brother Mudit and my experience with our mother who is a senior citizen and a parkinson's disease patient. While we took her for regular check ups at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi and to other hospitals for second opinions or for outings with her- the first thing we always checked was if there was a clean and safe loo available in that area. We were surprised that people have little or no idea about the needs of someone like my mother or other senior citizens or for people with special needs. There is a large chunk of population in India which is senior but there is no sensitivity towards them. People with disability face similar issues. Children and pregnant women fare better but even for them things largely remain difficult. We thought about it and decided to create an interactive toilet tracker application for android users- Susuvidha- susu karne ki suvidha ( facility to pee). Well, nobody thinks it is important but ask us and many others like us- imagine the plight of foreign travelers if they are stuck in some location in India where they don't know where to find a clean loo. We do hope that this application will not only help those I have mentioned but also encourage the general public in India to find a loo and go pee there rather than stand anywhere they feel like. Also, when we know that there are areas where there are no clean and safe loos, we push the government to figure something out, especially now that the government driven by the Prime Minister has committed to keep India clean. Susuvidha website- www.Susuvidha.com has been built for any suggestions and feedback.

This is only one of the first in a series. Next we come up with a health management application to assist patients who do not have the luxury of caregivers. The application will help them manage their medication and record their symptoms. It will also directly provide information to the concerned doctor. Well, the availability of doctors is something that we had to deal with in various crises situations with our mother. With this application, we hope and aim to notify the doctor in case there is an emergency.

Would request my readers to have a look at the application Susuvidha. Give us feedback on www.Susuvidha.com. Also, help us create more accurate data by adding any restaurants, cafes, dhabas, public loos which you happen to use and find it clean and safe.
