Abstract - Health management systems play a crucial role in modern healthcare by enabling efficient handling of patient records, appointments, medical histories, billing, and communication between patients and healthcare providers. This project focuses on the development of a web-based Health Management System using PHP and MySQL to streamline healthcare services. The system is designed to cater to clinics, hospitals, and independent healthcare providers by offering an integrated platform for managing patients' information securely and effectively. It provides modules for patient registration, doctor scheduling, appointment booking, diagnosis tracking, medical prescriptions, and billing management. Security measures are incorporated to ensure that sensitive patient data remains protected, complying with data protection regulations. PHP was selected for development due to its flexibility, ease of use, and strong support for database interactions, while MySQL was used for storing structured medical data. Testing revealed that the system significantly reduces paperwork, minimizes errors, speeds up administrative processes, and improves service delivery in healthcare institutions. The user-friendly interface ensures that both patients and healthcare providers can navigate the system effortlessly. Feedback from initial users indicated high levels of satisfaction with the system's speed, reliability, and functionality. Future enhancements may include integration with wearable health monitoring devices and mobile app extensions for remote access. The proposed Health Management System represents a scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution for modern healthcare institutions aiming to digitize their services.
