A Web-Based Antenatal Monitoring System:- Nwoyeocha Ujunwa M

Abstract According to Cambridge dictionary Antenatal are medical care given to pregnant women before their babies are born. The Antenatal Department of a hospitals is for medical advice and treatments of expectance mothers before delivery. Antenatal care is all about maternal and foetal care, to see that the baby is developing without malformation and giving mothers’ advice on what to eat, type of exercise needed, scanning and pathology rest. This Research is to design and implement a system (computerized) that offers information on Antenatal care as of when due (Just-in-time), advise on what to take and other medical guidance to pregnant mothers to effectively reduce childbirth mortality and other related issues. The main aim ofthis research is to replace the existing manual Antenatal information system but with high reliability, accuracy, speed and less cost. An information system provides information for decision makers in any organization, which are required for the great functions of planning, coordinating and controlling, therefore it is necessary to discover an adequate means ofmaking the information available to everyone concerned, this is because for decision to be made correctly and timely the information must be consistent, accurate and reliable (just-in-time) to affect the operation for which it is provided. Visual Studio code was used to develop this software because of its flexibilities and features hi developing web application programs. The programming languages that was used are Php for building the user backend, HTML and CSS for building the front end, SQL for database management. Also, MYSQL on local server XAMPP was also used in which a database was created.to serve as a central database for the system which was communicated to through Php (Hypertext PreProcessor).
