- 4. Introduction Android apps have become frequent in many aspects of our lives over the past few years by the widespread availability of tablet computers and smartphones. While there is a great deal of interest in apps and enthusiasm for their use, they have yet to reach the mainstream of healthcare provision. 4

- 18. The Application is not a server based one. It is an offline based Application. Separate tone has not to choose for alarm. Whichever tone is selected for notification in the smart phone, this app will use the tone default. The app is user friendly because one does not need to login to use the app. App installment is the maximum that a user needs to use the app. As there is no multiple user record, no extra memory is used. Extra Data Storage minimize the app convenience. 18
- 19. 19 LimitationsLimitations To run the app, internal memory is used. To make the app user friendly the interface has to be designed in a more clarified way. For example there is no Back button in every interface which makes the app clumsy for a new user. The apps must be explicitly started by the user for tracking.
- 20. Future Plan Our Future plan is to add features that will generate an automated vaccination and reminder schedule, customized to the users’ birth date to ensure timely vaccination. It will also keep track of vaccination history against user data. In our app, there is no option such as mandatory or optional vaccines. This feature can be added to make the app more realistic. Higher security feature can be added. 20
- 21. 21 Conclusion So far, the Government of Bangladesh has expanded program on immunization (EPI). It is recognized as mTikka system. The mission of the EPI program in Bangladesh is to eradicate morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. Our Vaccine Reminder app will be very helpful to ensure this program.
