Work

ClinicFlow
|

Founder & Developer

Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria

Self-Employed

Summary

Conceived, designed, and built ClinicFlow — a Smart Clinic Booking and Queue Management System for campus health facilities — in direct response to a problem I documented through my own undergraduate research

Highlights

My TISHIP study at the University of Jos found that 56.3% of students perceived campus clinic waiting times as too long, and that this was the primary reason students were avoiding care entirely. Rather than stop at the finding, I built a solution.

ClinicFlow enables students to book appointments using their matric number, select time slots, receive digital appointment tickets, view their queue position in real time, and have emergency cases automatically prioritised. Clinic administrators get a real-time dashboard to manage patient flow.

Built using Lovable AI App Builder (web-based, mobile-responsive) with GitHub for version control. Presented at the 3MTT Nigeria Knowledge Showcase, April 2026 — placed 3rd in Plateau State.
