Today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, managing medicine supply, patient appointments, and pharmacy coordination has become increasingly complex. Delays in medicine delivery, poor communication between suppliers and pharmacies, and inefficient patient management often result in disrupted healthcare services and reduced patient satisfaction. To address these challenges, this paper introduces Mediconnect, an intelligent Android-based system designed to streamline medicine distribution, pharmacy management, and patient appointment scheduling. Mediconnect provides a centralized platform where suppliers, pharmacies, and patients can interact efficiently, track orders, and manage medicine inventory in real time. An integrated intelligent assistant monitors deliveries, sends reminders, and optimizes schedules to ensure timely medicine supply and patient care. The system is developed using Android Studio (Java & XML) for the frontend, with XAMPP (MySQL) for database management and Postman for API testing, ensuring secure, responsive, and reliable performance. Mediconnect improves supply chain coordination, reduces delays, enhances patient satisfaction, and supports pharmacies and suppliers in delivering healthcare services more effectively. Overall, the proposed system leverages modern mobile technologies and intelligent assistance to create an organized, cost-effective, and user-friendly solution for healthcare management.
