A desktop Hospital Management System built with Python, Tkinter (ttkbootstrap), and SQLite.
Built as a final-year B.Tech Computer Science project.
MediCare is a full-featured desktop application for managing day-to-day hospital operations — patients, doctors, appointments, billing, and medicine inventory — all from a single, modern interface. It was built to demonstrate practical, real-world software engineering skills: database design, object-oriented Python, input validation, and a polished UI, all without relying on any web framework or external API.
The application ships with sample data so it can be explored immediately after installation, and supports both light and dark themes that persist across restarts.
Authentication
- Secure admin login with SHA-256 password hashing
- Show/Hide password toggle
- Logout with confirmation
Dashboard
- Live stat cards: total patients, doctors, today's appointments, revenue, medicine stock
- Revenue trend chart (Matplotlib) for the last 6 months
- Recent activity feed
- Current date & time display
Patient Management
- Add / edit / delete / search patients
- Auto-generated Patient IDs (e.g.
PAT0001) - Optional patient photo upload
Doctor Management
- Add / edit / delete / search doctors
- Auto-generated Doctor IDs (e.g.
DOC001)
Appointment Management
- Book / update / cancel / search appointments
- Patient and doctor selection via dropdowns
- Date and time-slot validation (no past-dated bookings)
Billing
- Consultation fee + medicine charges → automatic total calculation
- One-click professional PDF bill generation (ReportLab)
Medicine Inventory
- Add / update stock / delete / search medicines
- Automatic low-stock warning banner
Settings
- Light/Dark theme toggle with saved preference
- Database backup & restore
- CSV export for patients, doctors, and medicines
Reliability
- Input validation on every form (empty fields, phone numbers, ages, dates, numbers)
- Friendly error dialogs instead of crashes
- SQLite database with foreign keys, auto-created on first run with demo data
| Purpose | Technology |
|---|---|
| Language | Python 3.12+ |
| GUI Framework | Tkinter + ttkbootstrap |
| Database | SQLite3 |

| Image Handling | Pillow |
No Flask, Django, or web technologies are used — this is a native desktop application.

Note on architecture: to keep the codebase beginner-friendly and easy to explain in an interview, each
views/*.pyfile combines its own UI and control logic (a common simplification for student-scale desktop apps), whilecontrollers/app_controller.pyhandles the higher-level job of switching between screens.
Prerequisites: Python 3.12 or newer.
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/anujjakhotiya/Hospital-Management-System.git
cd Hospital-Management-System
# 2. (Optional but recommended) create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# 3. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# 4. Run the application
python main.pyThe SQLite database is created automatically on first launch, along with sample doctors, patients, appointments, medicines, and a demo bill.
Default login:
Username: admin
Password: admin123
- Launch the app with
python main.py. - Log in using the default credentials above.
- Use the sidebar to navigate between Dashboard, Patients, Doctors, Appointments, Billing, Medicine Inventory, and Settings.
- Generate a PDF bill from the Billing screen — it's saved to the
reports/folder. - Toggle Light/Dark mode any time from Settings; your choice is remembered the next time you open the app.
- Role-based access (doctor/receptionist logins in addition to admin)
- Appointment reminders via desktop notifications
- Ward and bed management module
- Multi-branch / multi-hospital support
- Data visualizations for patient demographics and department load
