Sahara is an android-based application, intended for the Rural Indian Healthcare Network, an enormous sprawling aggregation of healthcare facilities and schemes, that caters to the health needs of 800 million people. The network itself is revolutionary in design, created with a deep understanding of the Indian scenario, and uses the construct of the community to gather and monitor health-related situations.

The word "Sahara" means "Help" or "Aid" and is most often used to denote an object or person that is a source of strength, or support. The application is designed to do exactly that, with minimal interference.
