Dr. Oju Onuoha and Mr. Ugbor, Gideon T
Abstract
There are many procedures that patients are expected to comply with when visiting a doctor and which may cause discomfort to the patient. And considering these issues, we need a system that makes the patient-physician relationship more efficient. This study proposes her Android smartphone and her web application to facilitate the needs between doctors and patients. The proposed application aims to reduce the time and cost of transaction processing and increase the flexibility of accessing available information whenever and wherever you need it. The prototype of the proposed mobile healthcare application was implemented using HTML, CSS, JS, and Android Studio on the front-end and PHP and MySQL on the back-end. The methodology used for fact-finding was Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSDAM) and the software development approach used was Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM).
