Dental Clinic Management System

A comprehensive set of tools for managing the entire workflow of a dental clinic, while offering a client oriented experience.

Motivation

The motivation for coming up with this idea, was the lack of such a product in the market. There is a very small set of software who put emphasis in customer experience, appointment request facilitations, doctor communications and those who give access to personal medical files.

Features

• Set appointments from the app
  
• Get realtime confirmations with push notifications and/or SMS
  
• Access personal medical files and anamnesis
  
• Pay treatments online
  
• Communicate with the doctor and administrator from the app
  
• Offline-first mobile app
• Handle non-registered users (appointments, treatments, seamless account merging)

• Mobile app: Android (for clients and staff)
• Web app: NodeJS (for the administrator)
