Abstract

The advent of various diseases and epidemics has made the health care system a major cause of concern for people all over the world recently. In Nigeria, the medical system is currently plagued by a dearth of quick, precise, and dependable software solutions that may aid medical professionals in making judgments that would address critical and, in some cases, complex medical issues in real-time. Furthermore, handling and analyzing massive amounts of data in a medical setting is costly and time[1]consuming. In order to provide crucial health advice to expectant and nursing women in rural areas, this study will create and implement a novel hybrid persuasive technology. Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) were adopted in the design of the system. The system achieved integration of various patients’ medical records from different hospitals.
