Abstract

With the growing demand for easy and efficient healthcare in Egypt, major gaps have developed in hospital navigation, appointment scheduling, and real-time tracking of medical resources. In response, this project presents Care Connect, an extensive digital platform designed to mediate patient-centric healthcare navigation through Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, telemedicine, and real-time hospital data integration. With Care Connect, patients access the option of locating nearby hospitals with ICU beds and specialized care, information that was previously scarce. It also featured appointment bookings, personalized health tracking, and digital medical record distribution. On the other hand, healthcare providers benefit from the optimization of Care Connect in scheduling, patient monitoring, and accessing patient medical records, all of which translate into better enhancements of their workflow. Unlike existing solutions like Vezeeta, Altibbi, and Doxx, which tend to appraise booking doctor appointments along the lines of telehealth, Care Connect promotes GIS-based mapping combined with live tracking of hospital resources, emergency navigation, and strong digital health management. The interactive user interface designed in Figma incorporated intuitive navigation complemented with engaging features such as a chatbot to assist users.Care Connect provides an innovative act of bridging the patient-healthcare divide in Egypt.
