To deploy the system on the nation-wide GSM
network and to introduce some elements of natu-
ral language processing to include translation to
local languages in order to increase the accept-
ability by the non literate people in the country.
Security issues will also be critically examined.
In addition, voice-alert SMS is being considered
as part of the future works in this study, since our
investigation shows that some visually impaired
patient infected with HIV/AID will benefit from
a system that will not only send SMS messages
but also read the content of the SMS alert to the
hearing of users.
