    Corrected Doc Ease Group Project Dissertation
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-08) Muzamil Abdul Wahab Moga; Charles Muganga; Saidi Mukasa; Nathan Murungi; Samantha Ryan Bagenda; Claire Anne Nakaziba
    Access to efficient and comprehensive healthcare services remains a significant challenge for patients in Uganda, primarily attributed to the absence of centralized and functional medical records systems. This deficiency impedes healthcare providers' ability to deliver optimal care, resulting in inefficiencies in medical treatments, monitoring processes, and informed decision-making [1]. Despite efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure, approximately 60% of Uganda's population, residing in diverse rural and urban areas, face limited access to healthcare facilities. Moreover, the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (2022) reveals that only 23% of health facilities across the country possess complete and functional computerized systems for recording patient information. Consequently, fragmented medical records persist as a pervasive barrier to timely and effective healthcare delivery, affecting individuals nationwide. In response to these challenges, Doc Ease Project aims to develop and deploy a comprehensive electronic medical records (EMR) platform tailored to Uganda's healthcare landscape. By implementing this EMR system across healthcare facilities, both urban and rural, the project seeks to enhance access to healthcare services, streamline medical treatments, and enable data-driven decision-making among healthcare providers. Through a combination of technological innovation, capacity-building initiatives, and strategic partnerships, the Doc Ease Project endeavors to address the systemic challenges hindering healthcare accessibility and delivery in Uganda, ultimately improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals across the country. The significance of the Doc Ease Project lies in its potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery in Uganda by providing a robust, user-friendly, and accessible electronic medical records solution. By centralizing patient information and facilitating seamless data exchange among healthcare providers, the project aims to overcome the barriers posed by fragmented medical records and limited healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, the Doc Ease Project's emphasis on capacity-building and partnerships underscores its commitment to sustainable healthcare solutions tailored to Uganda's unique context. Ultimately, the project's contribution extends beyond technological innovation to encompass broader improvements in healthcare accessibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes, thereby addressing a critical need and making a lasting impact on Uganda's healthcare landscape.

    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-27) Getrude Adrupio; Kevin Taimwa; Priscillar Nakintu
    The SACCO Loan Management Information System is a computerized database of financial information organized and programmed in such a way that it produces regular reports on operations for every level of management in a SACCO; it is usually also possible to obtain special reports from the system easily. The general objective of the study was to design a loan management information system that could improve loan record handling and bring about timely Loan processing. The study's specific objectives of study were to investigate and gather data about the existing manual system being used at Kisoboka Farmers SACCO Ltd, analyze the requirements for the new system. Develop a loan management information system for Kisoboka Farmers' SACCO Ltd, and test and implement the new system. After gathering the requirements, entity relation diagrams and data flow diagrams were used to design the loan management information system. Microsoft Visual Basic 2005.net was used to create user interfaces and Microsoft Access was used to create the database. The SACCO loan management information system developed authenticates System users and enables them to capture and store loan records and client banking records, the system allows the users to view loan reports and Client payment records, also the system calculates payment denominations for loans [1]. The SACCO loan management information system reduces the burden of over-compiling papers and the need for more shelves which reduces congestion in Kisoboka Farmers' Sacco Ltd [2].

    Attend Sure :Revolutionizing Students' Engagement with Attendance Tracking In Education
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-14) BUSHENYULA SHEBAKANGA THEOPHILE; KALETE LYTON; MAYIKA KOLONGO GRADY
    Many higher education institutions continue to rely on manual methods for tracking student attendance, methods that are time-consuming, error-prone, and vulnerable to manipulation. At Uganda Christian University, for example, 75% of student failures are attributed to poor attendance, while 80% of students report a lack of academic motivation. These inefficiencies not only compromise academic record accuracy but also reduce administrative productivity. This report presents Attend Sure, a location-aware digital attendance management system designed to address these challenges through automation and geofencing technology. The system verifies student presence within a designated geographic boundary (e.g., N Block or Nkoyoyo Hall) before allowing them to check in via a secure mobile interface. To ensure robust development, the project undertook a comprehensive system analysis and design process, including the identification of functional and non-functional requirements, process modeling using data flow and sequence diagrams, and database design through an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). The system backend is built using MongoDB, a flexible and scalable NoSQL database optimized for real-time data storage and retrieval. Attend Sure offers distinct user interfaces for administrators, lecturers, and students, supporting efficient role-based access and functionality. By digitizing attendance workflows, the solution enhances accuracy, reduces administrative burden, and provides reliable data for monitoring student engagement, thereby contributing to smarter, tech-enabled campus management.
