| Abstract | Hemophilia is a group of inherited disorders where a defect or absence of a clotting factor protein limits the ability of the blood to clot following injury. The most common form is Hemophilia A; it is classified as severe, moderate or mild. Those with severe and moderate Hemophilia are likely to experience bleeding into joints and muscles following minor injury and are advised to limit participation in rough activities. Those with milder disorders usually experience bleeds only after significant injury, and may participate in vigorous sports with few consequences. As a result, they sometimes ‘forget’ that they have Hemophilia, and are slow to recognize injuries which may require treatment. In our ongoing project, we designed a mobile app which is a self-assessment guide for young men with mild hemophilia. The mobile application guides the user in assessing suspected bleeds, applying appropriate first aid, and locating the nearest hemophilia treatment center. In this paper, we detail the architectural design of the mobile app (“HIRT?”). We proposed a three-layered distributed system architecture comprised of the mobile devices, a cloud-oriented proxy and a database server where user feedback is stored for further analysis. The proxy framework is designed to address the challenges of network latency in mobile environments since the primary means of communication is over wireless media. Preliminary evaluation of the proposed system shows high performance boost in terms of the minimization of latency. Furthermore, the usability test shows that the application is convenient to use by both mobile techies and non-techies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
