Development of a Mobile Application for Patient's Medical Record and History

Abstract

It is difficult to keep track of one's all medical records. When a person suddenly falls sick, he/she may not have his/her medical documents with him. Hence, we decided to develop a project which is a medical app for both android and iOS that will always give access to a user”s medical records and history. So that the user can effortlessly manage and share them between facilities. This is especially convenient when someone is seeing a specialist and managing a lot of documents. Users can store and update their vitals, medical reports, newly assigned medications basically the entire medical history that is needed to diagnose a patient. For building the app React-native and Firebase database is used as a cloud alongside Redux for store management of the app. Health passport is designed to be a universal patient engagement platform that improves care for the health and encourages the user to take a more active role in their medical life by not doing the same test again and again for different facilities and thus saving money. Overall, the app is a middleman between patients and healthcare providers. This can be very helpful in real emergencies. With proper implementation, it can play a very important role in a person”s medical life.
