MEDMAP CONNECT: A WEB APPLICATION FOR TELEMEDICINE AND HEALTH FACILITY NAVIGATION IN NIGERIA
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The rapid advancement of information technology has transformed numerous sectors, with healthcare being one of the most profoundly impacted. In Nigeria, access to quality healthcare remains a challenge, especially for those in remote and underserved areas. This project introduces MedMapConnect, a web application specifically designed to address these challenges by integrating telemedicine services with healthcare navigation tools. By facilitating and incorporating GPS-based navigation via Google Maps API, MedMapConnect aims to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare delivery. This report provides a comprehensive discussion of the project’s background, objectives, and scope while analyzing its potential to
address gaps in Nigeria’s healthcare system.
