-
2. Backend (Core Logic & APIs):
-
Node.js / Express.js
-
.NET Core / ASP.NET MVC – Popular in enterprise clinics.
-
Python (Django / Flask) – For startups or AI-based diagnostics.
-
Java Spring Boot – For high-scale hospital systems.
3. Database:
-
PostgreSQL / MySQL – Widely used for structured patient & appointment data.
-
MongoDB – For flexible medical records, prescriptions, notes.
-
Firebase (Firestore) – If using a Google-based mobile solution.
4. Hosting/Cloud:
-
AWS / Azure / GCP – Hosting, databases, file storage (X-rays, reports).
-
Firebase / Supabase – Used in simpler mobile-first apps.
5. Prescription Generation (Print at Reception):

🔄 Example Flow of Digital Clinic:
-
Patient books appointment online → Frontend (React) → Backend (Node.js/.NET) → DB (MySQL).
-
Doctor opens tablet → Sees patient queue → Views EMR.
-
Doctor writes prescription → Prescription saved in DB → PDF generated → Sent to reception printer.
-
Reception prints it + sends link to pharmacy or patient.
-
All data backed up in cloud → accessible via app/portal.
🔐 Extra Tech Often Used:
-
QR Code on Prescriptions – For pharmacy validation.
-
Role-based access control – Staff, doctor, admin.
-
Data Encryption & HIPAA compliance – For patient data security.
-
AI Tools – For symptom checkers or diagnostics (in premium setups).
