B-Health - A Framework for Mobile and Web Application for Barangay Health Center in the Municipality of Laguna

Health is very important in human life. Good health protects us from diseases or any other medical illnesses. In some rural areas in the Philippines, it is challenging for people to access basic healthcare services as well as disseminate the health information or announcements through their barangay health center, subsequently, it makes it difficult for them to get the aid they needed. This could lead to health complications and the worse is it can increase the mortality rate within residents in remote areas. The researcher proposes a study that will develop a mobile and web application for Barangay health centers in rural areas. The system can cater to many barangays to update them, it will strengthen the meeting cycle or consultation processes quality, in other words, the application aims to improve patient monitoring and deliver health announcements to lessen their challenges throughout the rural community. The B-Health application can monitor patients' medical history and conditions. Also, users can receive health announcements using Short Message Service. The user can view health information and set an appointment from the barangay health center.) The researcher concludes that there is an accurate study and for implementing the B-Health application in the municipality of laguna since the survey showed good percentage results into asked questions. The paper focuses on improving the gap between the community and health center through the implementation of B-Health application thus this will serve as the bridge of distributing basic healthcare to all people living in the rural area.
