One such program aimed to help patients to guide their path of orthopedic treatment is the Orthopedic Patient Portal. It provides tools for tracking healing, scheduling virtual medical visits, and creating custom, professionally advised physical therapy schedules. From the ease of home, this gateway encourages patient involvement, streamlines professional therapy access, and offers a customized approach to rehabilitation.
To develop Ortho Care, a digital platform for orthopedic patients, here is a detailed breakdown of the database structure and module functionalities.
Module Functionalities :
a) Exercise Video Library
For clients, this section provides easily available orthopedic workouts. Doctors can give specific exercises for their patients and follow video instructions.
Key Features:
Search and filter under actual part, difficulty, etc.
embedded from organizations providing video hosting (including YouTube, Vimeo)
The doctor assigned a patient whose behavior
Track allocated projects using start and finish dates.
Completing tests and monitoring development
b) Progress Tracker
Patients can track their healing using this gadget. Patients enter range of motion, frequency of completed exercise, degree of pain. Review of this material lets doctors adjust their course of treatment.
Key Features:
range of motion; more precisely flexion and extension; patient generated
Track degree of pain 0–10 scale
Track your exercises either daily or monthly.
Graphical reports for medical practitioners keeping track on development
System of patient comments or concerns distribution.
Automated patient reminders to track development
c) Remote Consultation (Video Calls)
This module helps clinicians to assess patient healing and provide advice without personally visiting by means of remote video conferences between patients and doctors.
Key Features:
safe webRTC for Zoom API video conferencing integration
arrange conferences online.
File dissemination, more especially reports, x-rays, in-session chat tool for decision to record meetings for upcoming usage
End-to- end encrypted promises perfect communication.
d) Appointment Scheduling
This function allows patients' assigned orthopedic specialist to schedule online or in-person conferences.
Key Features:
See rapid doctor accessibility.
Create a schedule and book of meetings.
Notes and warnings when approaching meetings
Resuling and cancelation instruments
Medical histories and notes about patients
e) Doctor-Patient Messaging
a safe messaging system allowing asynchronous debate between doctors and patients about course of treatment, exercise programs, or follow-up queries.
Key Features:
Patients text their assigned physician.
prescriptions, test results, file sharing, or otherwise
Instant alerts for recently arrived messages
Search power and message historical performance

Development Considerations :
Security: Every communication between a patient and a doctor appointments, consultations, messaging allows security of confidential medical records by HIPAA-compliant technique.
Scalability: Particularly with video conferences, which depend on good server scalability, the program should let many doctors and patients to use it.
API Integration: Combining interaction with video conferences APIs (like Zoom, WebRTC) and maybe outside workout databases creates a large library of guided therapy.
Database Structure :
The platform will require a relational database to manage patient data, doctor information, appointments, exercises, and consultations. Below is a proposed database structure with the key tables.
