Disability can be by birth or by any tragic event in life or medical illness. Such differently abled persons can become a valuable asset to the nation rather than a liability if we properly quantify their disabilities and help them rehabilitate into jobs best suited for them. The aim of this study was to develop a mobile application for easy quantification of disability of a differently abled person according to the latest Government of India guidelines.
The Government of India Gazette notification of January 2018 spells out revised guidelines approved by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for calculation of disabilities of differently abled persons. These were first converted into a spreadsheet, workflow, and interface modules. Subsequently, they were coded into a mobile application using a simple web language.
The result is an android App that can be downloaded from Google Play Store for free use. The rigorous testing of the App with all possible combination of input values was done to weed out errors. The results through the App were compared against manual calculation used as a control for validation purposes.
To bring about uniformity, objectivity, ease in disability calculation for a large population of differently abled persons, a mobile App is truly justified.
残疾可能源于出生、生活中的任何悲剧事件或疾病。如果我们能够恰当地量化这些残障人士的残疾程度，并帮助他们康复到最适合他们的工作岗位，那么这些残障人士就可以成为国家的宝贵财富，而非负担。本研究的目的是根据印度政府的最新指导方针，开发一款用于方便量化残障人士残疾程度的移动应用程序。
印度政府2018年1月的公报通知明确了社会正义与赋权部批准的关于计算残障人士残疾程度的修订指导方针。这些指导方针首先被转换为电子表格、工作流程和界面模块。随后，使用一种简单的网络语言将它们编码到一个移动应用程序中。
结果是一款安卓应用程序，可以从谷歌应用商店免费下载使用。对该应用程序进行了所有可能输入值组合的严格测试，以排除错误。将通过该应用程序得出的结果与用作验证对照的手动计算结果进行了比较。
为了实现大规模残障人士残疾计算的统一性、客观性和简便性，一款移动应用程序是完全合理的。
