Doc-Connect Healthcare Application

Overview

Doc-Connect Healthcare Application is a comprehensive medical management system designed to streamline the interaction between patients and healthcare providers. This project exemplifies the use of objectoriented programming (OOP) principles, including inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, and encapsulation, to create a robust and flexible application that meets the needs of both administrators and patients.

Key Features

Administrator Interface
