MGM Healthcare, a leading multispecialty hospital chain in Chennai, recognized the need to enhance its patient experience through digital transformation. As a renowned provider of top-quality care across multiple specialties such as heart, lung, liver, obstetrics, gynecology, neurology, and more, MGM sought to implement an efficient online portal. This platform would allow patients to seamlessly book consultations and access their electronic medical records (EMR). Codewave Technologies was entrusted with the responsibility to design, develop, and deliver a high-performance, user-friendly web portal that aligns with MGM’s mission to provide exceptional patient care.

Complex Data Integration: The integration of patients' electronic medical records (EMR) into the system was a priority to enable quick access to medical histories.
User Experience: MGM needed a simple yet effective user interface that would be easy to navigate for patients, doctors, and hospital administrators alike.
