medR: Software System for Managing Medical History and Patient Examination Data

Abstract

The purpose of the medR project is to lighten the burden on the local healthcare system given by the sub-optimal handling of large amounts of information. The main scope of the project is to provide help during the medical history collection and patient data management phases.During the first steps of a patient’s examination, critical information may be gathered that determines the entire treatment of the disease. Currently, the Romanian medical system faces cumbersome data recording capabilities, troublesome data retrieval, and a lack of transparency. All of this can lead to the loss of valuable information, wrong decisions, and inadequate patient care, even resulting in financial or physical harm. The medR web application enables extensive data recording possibilities and the generation of statistics, assisting in these tasks by integrating already existing systems and providing easy and simultaneous use for healthcare professionals.
