Abstract:
The importance of health care is immense in a society and over the past years, this sector has been evolving to produce a more efficient and computerized system. Bangladesh has also made a significant improvement in the health care system over the years. This paper presents the development of a web application for the general public of Bangladesh where they can store their own medical data and access it anytime, from anywhere. In the Online Health Care (OHC) system, users can register as patients to store their medical data in the database. The system also consists of registered doctors under the enlisted hospitals, who can give free medical advice and prescribe necessary medications to the patients when requested for an appointment. The doctors can view their patient's data and issue prescriptions. The system has been developed using Codeigniter, a PHP framework. The database has been designed using mySQL and XAMPP as the server. The system has been tested, verified and implemented. It provides an efficient way of storing information electronically, a faster communication mechanism between patients and doctors, and also ensures better security for the users.
