MediCare Connect — Hospital Appointment & Healthcare Management System
A full-stack healthcare platform for booking doctor appointments, managing prescriptions, and processing consultation payments online.
Project Overview
MediCare Connect is a full-stack healthcare platform that streamlines the connection between patients and doctors. Patients can browse verified doctors by specialization, book appointments at available time slots, pay consultation fees securely via Stripe, and receive digital prescriptions — all in one place. Doctors can manage their profiles, handle appointment lifecycles, and issue prescriptions. Admins oversee the platform through a verification workflow and analytics dashboard. The backend is built with Express 5 on Node.js, uses MongoDB Atlas for persistence, and is deployed as a serverless application on Vercel.
Key Results
Challenges & Solutions
Implementing idempotent payment recording — a pending payment record is created at booking time and updated on Stripe confirmation to prevent duplicate charges.
Building stale-token protection by re-validating user role and account status from the database on every authenticated request, not just from JWT claims.
Designing appointment conflict detection to prevent double-booking of the same doctor slot across concurrent requests.
Future Improvements
- Add real-time notifications (e.g. via WebSockets or push notifications) for appointment status changes.
- Implement Stripe webhooks for more reliable, event-driven payment confirmation instead of client-triggered verification.
