Jawahar Thomas

Mr Thomas has assisted with relief efforts after the Latur earthquake in India and has worked in remote areas of Northern Australia where conditions and lack of resources meant conditions more often resembled a third world country. Working in these conditions and seeing the impact that lack of resourcing and support plays in people’s health, consolidated Mr Thomas’s ideas about education being the greatest way of improving overall health. This occurred at a time when technological and communication advances opened possibilities for reaching greater numbers of people. Mr Thomas has seen how the application of technology can lead to great gains in preventative health care practice.

The ability to cut through many of the traditional barriers to training and knowledge-sharing has been solved via the internet and specially designed software platforms. Previous barriers such as geography (distance from centres of further training and enhanced skill development); information obsolescence (published data becoming redundant as knowledge advanced), and cost (access to learning resources and on-going training and skill updating in the knowledge and technology industries is expensive) can now be overcome.

Mr. Jawahar Thomas’ contribution to medical training

Mr Thomas’s drive for improvement in the health care sector has led him to develop an innovative software application – MEKSI (Medical Knowledge System) – for professional education. His aim in developing the software was to create an easily accessible system for improving the training and general know-how of doctors and medical students in a safe environment.

Mr Thomas’s software application simulates real-life patient situations where they present with an illness and the student doctor is given the opportunity to practice their classroom learning by providing diagnoses’ and treatment.

He is continuing his work in leveraging this exciting phase of technology and communications to support further medical training and better-quality patient care.
