1. Project Summary:

In the modern world, most of the countries have modern automated systems for regular
proceedings especially in the health sector. In Pakistan there is still manual and
exhausting routine of prescription and patient’s data in hospitals when we talk about the
health sector. There is a dire need of the automated and computerised system in the
hospitals of Pakistan to keep track of the prescription of patients, disease and visit
history along with the record of patients. This is essential because carrying manual file
of the medical history is uncomfortable and most of the times it gets lost. To deal with
this issue a simple and efficient way of record keeping is essential that should be smart,
available and easy to carry. For this the proposed idea is to create a system that can keep
the data of the patient, prescription, medical history and visit history of when visiting
the hospital. The data would be kept saved and updated, every time a patient visits the
hospital. The patient could be identified for the retrieval of details through a card or
unique identity number. It will assure the privacy, security and the availability of
patient’s record. In case, if the patients forget to bring the card, the data can still be
retrieved through the unique patient identity number assigned to every patient. It will
bring portability of medical record as well as the emergency access to the patient’s
record. This will bring ease for the patient as well as for the health organization to treat
the patient accurately and efficiently. There is currently no system for the ambulance
staff. In case of emergency ambulance staff have to perform some medication at the spot.
So, they don’t know about the previous medical history of that patient. If a patient is
having a problem like blood pressure then what medicines are restricted by the doctor
for that patient so that at time of first Aid they avoid from that medicines. Also, there is
no system for the medicine verification after buying a chemist. Most of the people don’t
know about that medicine either that is the same one which is recommended by the
doctor or not. So, there will be a mobile based application for patient for the medicine
verification.

2. Introduction:

In Pakistan, usually the hospitals are the health services providers and the health-
related issues are treated conventionally. A patient visits hospital and the doctor
recommend him/her the suitable prescription after check-up. The prescription is
usually on the paper and the patient has to keep it safe for the next visit. This is the
current simple procedure of the hospital. In the system being designed, the said
procedure will be automated and computerized for the sake of convenience for both the
health organization as well as the patient. It will also provide ease and efficiency along
with the comfortable saving of the record.

In the proposed system, a web-based system is developed that is associated with a

centralized database providing the access to records globally. When a patient visits the
hospital first time, he/she is issued a unique patient identification number as well as a
card of type RFID system that will have the identification data for that patient. The
patient is then diagnosed and recommended the prescription. This prescribed
medication, the symptoms and the biodata of the patient will be saved in the centralized
database of the system against the identification number of patients in the web-based
system. The card will have the identification about that patient and it will later provide
the access to record when scanned. Every time the patient visits the hospital again the

card will be scanned to get the details about his/her medical history and the disease
history. The RFID systems are used to write and scan the data to and from card
respectively. The RFID card is provided to the patient and the hospital will have the
RFID scanner to scan the patient’s card. On each visit the card is scanned for accessing
details and the data against that patient id is updated accordingly in the system. Using
this modern method will save time and it will also make the procedure of record
management easy. The patient gets rid of keeping the physical paper reports by this
modern method. The authorized access through the RFID card scanning will bring the
security and privacy to the patient. The centralized database provides the access of
patient’s data globally that will enable the patient to get medical facilities according to
history around the world.
3. Project Aim:

The aim of this project is to build a web-based system that will provide ease of
proceedings with the security ensured. As well as a mobile based application for the
users to remind them about their appointments.

4. Project Objectives:

The objective of this simple project is clear and based on real worlds. The objective of
the system includes the automation and use of modern system instead of manual
proceeding so that efficient and easy process of carrying medical history. The objective
is to cumulatively focused to automate the normal routine of hospital in an efficient way.
Keeping the record in a computer system is another objective that provide the efficient
storage of record and accessing the patient medical history through a web forum. The
other objectives are to improve the quality of care and also to increase the
administrative efficiency. Mobile based application will help users to check their medical
record whenever they want. It will also help them to remind about their appointment.

5. Project Scope:

The scope of the project includes the web-based system for the doctors and medical staff
to check the medical history of a patient. Doctor can check his/her previous history and
also update or rewrite new information about their health and medicine. It will inform
patients about their new visit if doctor recommend them to visit the hospital after few
days. RFID tags will also be used for recognition of the patient and their previous
medical history. In our system we are using RFID cards for patients to avoid them
carrying their medical records whenever they have to visit any doctor. This will allow
them to not carry any medical record but a plastic card through which they can access
their previous medical records. There will be a mobile application for patient to verify
the medicine written by the doctor and for ambulance staff for customized first aid
description of a patient.

6. Problem Statement:

A patient visits the hospital and the doctor recommend him/her the suitable
prescription after check-up. The prescription is usually on paper and the patient has to
keep it safe for the next visit and also to carry all the medical history along him/her. This
is the current simple procedure of the hospitals or other health care centres. The main
problem for a patient is to carry all the medical records along with him/her. Sometimes
they got lost. Then it is difficult for doctor to recommend some medicine without
checking their previous history because in some cases patient cannot explain about their
previous condition. There is no inter hospital record sharing of a patient’s medical
history. Also, there is not specific information provided to ambulance staff for the basic
First Aid of a patient. Either they have to give him/her that medicine or not like if a
patient is having blood pressure then what medicines are restricted by doctors. Also,
there is no verification of the medicines after prescription of doctor. Sometimes chemist
give patient that medicine which are not written by doctor. If they don’t have that
medicine, they give medicine of same formula or according to them which will be
suitable. And mostly people don’t verify the medicine from doctor after buying from a
chemist.
7. Proposed Solution:
We have proposed a web-based system which will resolve all the issues which currently exists
in health care centres with the help of RFID tags. RFID tags or uniquely assigned patient
identity number will be used to retrieve the patient’s medical history. We’ll automate all the
medical history of a patient so can he can access his/her medical history whenever he/she
wants. It will be very useful and efficient for both the health administrators as well as for
patients also. To overcome above problems, we are proposing centralized database from
which all the people can access data after performing some specific checks. And for
ambulance staff there will be a mobile application with patient’s limited data access. And for
medicine verification there will be mobile application from which a patient can check the
medicine after buying from chemist that this is the same medicine which is recommended by
the doctor or not.
