Health Connect is an advanced cloud-based clinic and patient management system (EHR) designed for healthcare facilities of every size — from single-practitioner clinics to multi-site networks. The platform centralises electronic medical records, scheduling, billing and patient communication in one system, with particular attention paid to the security and confidentiality of clinical data.

Key Features

• Electronic Health Records: Complete patient history with consultations, diagnoses, prescriptions and test attachments, securely accessible to authorised professionals.

• Multi-Clinic Support: Management of several facilities from a single installation, with per-clinic data isolation and network-level report consolidation.

• Multilingual Interface with RTL: Support for multiple languages including right-to-left scripts, allowing deployment in markets beyond the Portuguese-speaking world.

• Integrated Telemedicine: Remote consultations conducted inside the platform, with the clinical record tied directly to the session.

• SMS Notifications: Automated appointment reminders and patient communication, reducing no-shows and improving treatment adherence.

• Multiple Payment Methods: Payment processing via M-Pesa, PayPal and Paystack, covering both local and international patients.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Laravel with a RESTful API, role-based access control and a hardened security layer for clinical data.

• Database: MySQL with a multi-tenant structure, audit trails and soft deletes to preserve clinical history.

• Frontend: Responsive interface with full internationalisation support, including RTL text direction.
