Abstract

The healthcare sector in Nigeria is facing several challenges such as inadequate healthcare facilities, shortage of skilled healthcare professionals, and lack of adequate infrastructure. As a result, patients are forced to travel long distances to receive medical attention, which often results in increased healthcare costs and sometimes decreased quality of care. This work involves the development of a web-based health application that connects patients with healthcare providers in a timely and efficient manner. The application provided patients with access to a range of healthcare services such as booking appointments, viewing medical records, and communicating with healthcare providers. Additionally, the application allowed healthcare providers to manage their patient's medical records, schedule appointments, and provide remote consultations. The implementation of the web-based health application involved the use of modern web technologies such as JavaScript, PHP, and Laravel. The application was also designed with security and privacy in mind, as patient data was highly sensitive and must be protected always. The effectiveness of the application was evaluated through user acceptance testing, which involved gathering feedback from patients and healthcare providers. The project focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery services in Nigeria, which could lead to improved health outcomes for the population.
