HealMate: A Unified App for Vaccine Records & Doctor Booking

Abstract

Mobile healthcare continues to expand, particularly in areas such as vaccination tracking and medical appointment scheduling. While immunizations are essential in combating contagious diseases, many individuals still struggle to access clear information and convenient booking systems. Likewise, regular health checkups play a key role in personal wellness but often remain inaccessible due to inefficient scheduling processes. This study focuses on designing an Android-based application that simplifies vaccine information access and allows users to book doctor appointments and maintain digital immunization records. The proposed app includes functionalities like real-time vaccine availability, appointment booking, automated reminders, and secure digital storage of medical records. This research investigates the app’s usability, its effectiveness in improving vaccine adherence and reducing missed appointments, and the privacy of stored medical data. By assessing real-world user feedback and implementation results, the study sheds light on how mobile technologies can support public health infrastructure.
