Common Tech Stack in Digital Clinics

 


1. Frontend (Used on Tablets, PCs, or Browsers):

  • Web App (Doctor & Reception):

    • Angular / React / Vue.js – For modern, responsive UIs.

    • Flutter – If they're using a single app across iOS & Android tablets.

    • HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript – Lightweight interfaces for browser-based UIs.

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):

  • PDF Generation Tools:

    • iTextSharp / PDFKit / jsPDF / Puppeteer – For printable prescription PDFs.

    • Triggered via doctor’s tab and sent to the reception printer.

6. Appointment Booking and Notifications:

  • Twilio / MSG91 / WhatsApp Business API – SMS/WhatsApp notifications.

  • Calendar Integrations – Google Calendar or custom booking engines.

7. EMR/EHR Systems:

  • Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) platforms like:

    • Practo Ray

    • MocDoc

    • HealthPlix

    • Clinicea

    • Medeil

    • These platforms often offer API integrations and cloud-based dashboards.


🔄 Example Flow of Digital Clinic:

  1. Patient books appointment online → Frontend (React) → Backend (Node.js/.NET) → DB (MySQL).

  2. Doctor opens tablet → Sees patient queue → Views EMR.

  3. Doctor writes prescription → Prescription saved in DB → PDF generated → Sent to reception printer.

  4. Reception prints it + sends link to pharmacy or patient.

  5. 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).
