The Mission
Patients navigating specialized Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) healthcare often struggle to find validated consultant ratings, specialization breakdowns, and transparent waiting times. ENT Care Hub was engineered to bridge this gap by delivering a structured, data-driven discovery engine.
Relational Database & Query Optimization
The project prioritizes database normalization, establishing foreign key constraints and composite indexes across tables for consultants, hospital clinics, clinical sub-specialties, and verified patient reviews.
To compute dynamic leaderboards without sacrificing query response times, I wrote complex SQL queries utilizing multi-table JOIN operations, aggregated subqueries, and conditional scoring functions. This ensured that ranking scores accurately reflected both weighted review volume and categorical patient feedback.
Full-Stack Integration & Security
The PHP backend was structured as a secure RESTful service, enforcing prepared statements to eliminate SQL injection vulnerabilities and implementing password hashing via bcrypt for account authentication. The responsive React frontend consumes these endpoints, rendering interactive consultant cards with live search filtering and dynamic review modals.
