MediCare+

MediCare+ is an advanced mobile application designed to bridge the gap between healthcare professionals and patients by providing easy access to medical services. The app allows patients to schedule appointments, access their medical records, and engage in virtual consultations with doctors. Doctors can manage appointments, view patient records, and provide telemedicine services through the platform.

The app is built using Figma for design and the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) for development, ensuring scalability, security, and a seamless user experience. It prioritizes data privacy and HIPAA compliance, ensuring that sensitive medical information is securely handled. MediCare+ aims to enhance healthcare delivery by making medical services more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly.
