One of the standout problems in rural regions of India is the lack of a comprehensive medical record system. Medical records are a vital part of any diagnosis as they provide a glimpse into the patient's past, which is influential to the current diagnosis. Medical records help practitioners spot anomalies and patterns in a variety of medical cases. It is also utilized to gain a better understanding of the health situation in certain demographics. In this paper, the authors have proposed a comprehensive distributed system which can be used to preserve the medical history of individuals, and also provide a valuable insight into the health situation of the rural populous. The distributed data are aggregated into a single entity from which observations are gathered. The data acquired could be of extreme importance to the government, as it can be utilized to determine the health issues which require immediate attention, and to evaluate possible mitigation plans. The data collected would be portable and easily accessible with the help of mobile devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
