Telemedicine Online Platform Database Design

Telemedicine Online Platform Database Design

About the System

As a result of technological advancements, providing healthcare has become more intelligent. The researchers in this project devised yet another innovative method for providing high-quality healthcare to patients.

The capstone project, titled “Telemedicine Online Platform,” is intended to provide patients with remote medical health care via telecommunications.

The healthcare sector has considerably improved as technology continually changes and develops. The availability and accessibility of health care are critical for providing patients with efficient and high-quality care.

However, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, healthcare became more difficult to obtain. We are unable to participate in outdoor activities or interact with other individuals due to the pandemic.

For those who require quick medical attention and health monitoring, this is a major worry. Several growing technologies go beyond face-to-face encounters with health professionals or doctors as a result of this. However, there is still a clear need for a quick and effective solution.

Database Tables

Let’s start by making the tables and columns. For a thorough tutorial, please watch the video.

tbl_patient – this table will store the information of the patients in the system.

• registration_id- primary key of the table. It is set usually to auto_increment (the database will automatically give this column a value starting from 1).
• full_name – the full name of the patient
• gender – the patient’s gender
• date_of_birth – the patient’s date of birth
• phone_number – the patient’s contact number, can be a cellphone or mobile number
• email – the email address of the patient
• address – the address of the patient
• profile_picture – this will hold the profile photo of the patient
• username- the desired username of the patient for his/her account, also used to login in the system
• password – the desired password of the patient for his/her account.
• account_status – the value of this column is 0 or 1, 0 means deactivated or inactive, 1 is activated or active.

Create SQL Statement – the statement below is used to create the tbl_patient, copy the sql statement and paste it in the sql manager/tab of your phpmyadmin.

CREATE TABLE `tbl_patient` (
`registration_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`full_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

Create SQL Statement – the statement below is used to create the tbl_services, copy the sql statement and paste it in the sql manager/tab of your phpmyadmin.

CREATE TABLE `tbl_services` (

Summary

Telemedicine is a broad phrase that refers to a wide range of healthcare treatments that can be provided from a remote location. Diagnostic services, treatment services, care coordination services, and patient education are some of the services that can be provided. With technological advancements making it easier and more economical to connect patients with healthcare professionals, the usage of telemedicine has increased dramatically in recent years.

Patients can contact with healthcare providers using a telemedicine online platform (TP), which is a web-based technology that allows them to receive remote medical treatments from them. TP systems are intended to improve the quality of care provided by physicians and other healthcare providers by offering patients with access to a broader range of health information, resources, and tools than would otherwise be available.
