Inspiration
Managing healthcare data can be complicated and fragmented for patients, doctors, and administrators. Our inspiration came from seeing how digital transformation can combine and simplify health record management, empower patients, and help clinicians make better decisions, all while keeping sensitive data secure.
What it does
Healthcare Pro is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) web application that streamlines medical management for patients, doctors, and admins.
Patients can register, find doctors, book appointments, upload/view medical files, chat securely, and order medicines. Doctors manage schedules, patient histories, upload diagnoses and prescriptions, and communicate with patients. Admins oversee user accounts, system reports, and monitor overall healthcare quality and service ratings.
How we built it
Frontend:React.js, HTML, CSS, Redux (for state management), developed in VS Code. backend:ASP.NET Core (C#), developed in Visual Studio, Dockerized for local/production deployment. Database:MySQL Community Server 8.0+, managed with MySQL Workbench. Authentication:JWT tokens and ASP.NET Identity with full role-based access control (RBAC) for Patients, Doctors, and Admins. Security:SSL/TLS (self-signed certs for local), tested with Postman and OWASP ZAP. Monitoring (optional): Prometheus & Grafana. Version control:Git + GitHub. API:RESTful endpoints, tested via Postman. We defined clear REST APIs for all actions, and all persistent data is stored in MySQL.
Challenges we ran into
- Integrating secure authentication with JWT and multi-role permissions.
- Ensuring real-time chat and file uploads were robust and secure.
- Making the app responsive and accessible across desktop and mobile.
- Dockerizing both frontend and backend for simple deployment.
- Handling edge cases in appointment booking, error handling, and file uploads.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Built a full-stack healthcare app with real dashboards for three user roles.
- Implemented robust JWT-based security and fine-grained role-based access.
- Enabled secure chat and online consultation workflows.
- Created a clean, modern, and responsive user interface.
- Achieved successful API security and vulnerability scans.
- Add support for telemedicine video calls (e.g., Zoom or Teams integration).
What we learned
- How to integrate React/Redux frontends with ASP.NET Core APIs.
- Best practices in building secure authentication and file upload flows.
- Importance of clear error messaging and user feedback.
- How to design and Dockerize a complex full-stack application for real-world use.
- Integrate AI-based symptom checking and smart appointment suggestions.
- Integrate AI-based symptom checking and smart appointment suggestions.
What's next for Healthcare Pro
- Add support for telemedicine video calls (e.g., Zoom or Teams integration).
- Build patient reminders via SMS/email.
- Expand admin analytics with more data visualization.
- Deploy for real-world pilot testing in clinics or hospitals.
