This report presents the Health API and Mobile Application System that has been developed aiming at integrating multiple hospital databases across the country through the Application programming interface. The services provided by this Api will then be consumed by two mobile applications with one of the application for health professionals which will help them determine an outbreak of a particular disease with the use of the statistical graph and data, entering patient information in the database for storage and finally be able to view and edit patient medical report. The other mobile application will be on for the user(patient) , this application will have a chatbot feature that will provide patients with recommendations based on their communicated symptoms(to be specific we focus on malaria) using natural language processing and also it will provide automated AI powered reminders using generative AI for reminding patients about their prescription.
The implementation of this Health API and Mobile Application System not only brings peace of mind to patients but also offers great convenience. It enables patients to have a mobile doctor to ask for recommendations, which enables them to ask at their own convenience. It also helps health workers know their patient’s details since the API can access them therefore; they have the ability to know the patient's medical history.
With the Health API and Mobile Application System, both patients and health professionals can have confidence and ease in the provision of health services provided by the system.
