Patient Manager App

Overview

The Patient Manager App is a web-based platform that simplifies the management of patient appointments and records for clinics. It also allows patients to easily book appointments with their clinic and receive a notification if anything about thier appointment changes. Patients can securely register, request, update, and cancel their appointments, while clinics can manage appointments, schedule them, and notify patients using SMS and email via Twilio. The app is built using Next.js, Appwrite for backend services such as databases and user authentication, Tailwind CSS and Shadcn for an elegant user interface, and Twilio for messaging services.
