Resumen

This research presents the development and implementation of a web application for managing medical records at the “D'Mujer a Mujer” Obstetric Clinic, located in La Maná Canton, Ecuador. The system was built using development technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, and was developed under the agile Scrum methodology, enabling the integration of key features such as patient registration, appointment scheduling, clinical report generation, and real-time access to medical histories. The study followed an applied approach with a technological-experimental design, using surveys and interviews to gather requirements. As part of the system validation, a satisfaction survey was conducted with its users, yielding favorable results: 100% stated that the system facilitates access to medical records, 95% noted an improvement in service times, and 98% reported overall satisfaction with the system. These findings demonstrate that the tool meets its intended objectives, significantly improves clinical management, and serves as a replicable model for similar healthcare institutions.
