🩺 Project Title: Medical History Management System (MHMS) 📌 Objective To build a secure, centralized, and user-friendly web application that allows patients and healthcare providers to manage, view, and update complete medical history records in real-time, enabling better diagnosis, faster treatment, and improved patient care.
🔍 Problem Statement In traditional healthcare systems, medical records are often scattered across different hospitals and departments, stored in physical files or disparate digital systems. This results in incomplete or inaccessible patient history during emergencies, repeated tests, and inefficient treatment. There is a critical need for a centralized system that securely maintains and provides access to comprehensive medical history.
