MediTrail: Stores and Tracks Medical Journey

Medical record management is one of the most crucial yet fragmented areas in health- care. Centralized access to complete medical history can prevent medical errors, reduce costs, and improve treatment outcomes. Manual record-keeping methods are disorga- nized, insecure, and inefficient. This paper proposes MediTrail, a secure web-based multimodal platform that consolidates medical records from multiple sources into a sin- gle, organized digital repository. The proposed system utilizes React.js for an intuitive user interface, Node.js for backend processing, and Firebase for secure authentication and cloud storage. Role-based access control ensures that patients maintain ownership of their data while allowing authorized healthcare providers to contribute to and access medical records. The system features a chronological timeline view for easy tracking of medical history and secure sharing mechanisms using unique IDs. Designed as a cost- effective, scalable, and fully software-based solution suitable for deployment on cloud platforms, MediTrail aims to bridge the gap between fragmented healthcare data and patient-centered care. Theoretical analysis suggests that the proposed framework can significantly improve healthcare efficiency and data accessibility while maintaining ro- bust security and privacy standards.
