MaternaTrack: Maternal Health Monitoring System in PHP

Maternal health monitoring in Philippine barangays still runs on paper logbooks, manual tallying, and memory. Health workers track dozens of pregnant patients across notebooks and spreadsheets, risk classifications get missed, follow-up visits slip through the cracks, and DOH reports take days to compile manually.

MaternaTrack is a complete maternal health monitoring system built with PHP and MySQL that replaces all of that. It automatically classifies patient risk levels, detects missed checkups, sends SMS alerts, computes pregnancy dates, and generates DOH-aligned reports. It’s designed specifically for Barangay Health Stations, Rural Health Units, lying-in clinics, and private midwife practices in the Philippines.

What Makes MaternaTrack Different

This isn’t a simple patient CRUD app. MaternaTrack acts on data. When a midwife records a prenatal visit, the system automatically recalculates the patient’s risk level based on vital signs, danger signs, and obstetric history. If a patient misses a scheduled checkup, the system flags it. If a birth plan milestone is approaching, it sends an SMS reminder. Every piece of data feeds into something actionable.

Complete Feature Breakdown

Patient Registry & Pregnancy Tracking

Every patient gets a full profile with demographics, obstetric history, and assigned healthcare staff. When you enter a patient’s Last Menstrual Period (LMP), MaternaTrack automatically calculates the Expected Date of Confinement (EDC), Age of Gestation (AOG), and current trimester. No manual counting on calendars.

Antenatal Care (ANC) Visit Recording

Each prenatal visit captures vital signs, supplements given, and danger signs observed. The system tracks visit schedules and flags patients who are overdue. This is where the automated risk engine kicks in.

Automated Risk Classification

After every visit, MaternaTrack classifies the patient into one of four risk levels: Low, Moderate, High, or Critical. This classification is based on clinical data, not guesswork. High-risk patients surface to the top of your dashboard so they get the attention they need.

Birth Plan Management

A guided checklist walks patients through birth preparation with SMS reminders at key milestones. No more patients showing up unprepared at 38 weeks.

Delivery & Postnatal Care

Birth outcomes are recorded with APGAR scores and delivery details. Postpartum care includes PHQ-2 depression screening, which is often skipped in manual systems but critical for maternal wellbeing.

Newborn Care

Vaccination schedules and Newborn Screening (NBS) tracking are built in. The system knows which vaccines are due and when, so nothing gets missed.

Referral System

When a patient needs to be referred to a higher-level facility, MaternaTrack generates printable referral slips with all relevant clinical data included. Referral status is tracked from submission to completion.

SMS Notifications

MaternaTrack sends automated SMS messages via the Semaphore API across 9 trigger types: appointment reminders, missed visit alerts, birth plan reminders, risk level changes, and more. This is especially valuable in rural areas where patients don’t have email.

8 DOH-Aligned Reports

Generate reports that align with Department of Health requirements. All reports export to both PDF and Excel, so you can submit them directly or do further analysis. What used to take days of manual tallying now takes seconds.

Seven User Roles

MaternaTrack uses granular role-based access control with seven levels:

Superadmin has full system access across all facilities. Admin manages a single facility’s settings, users, and data. Doctor has full clinical access to patient records and reports. Nurse records visits, vital signs, and manages patient care. Midwife handles prenatal visits, delivery records, and postnatal care. BHW (Barangay Health Worker) tracks patient follow-ups and community-level data. Patient gets a self-service portal with read-only access to their own records.

Every role has per-action, per-module permissions. A BHW can view patient lists but can’t edit clinical records. A nurse can record visits but can’t access financial reports. You control exactly who sees and does what.

Multi-Tenant Architecture

One MaternaTrack installation can serve multiple facilities with completely isolated data. A Rural Health Unit and its satellite Barangay Health Stations can all run on the same system without seeing each other’s records. Each tenant has its own settings and user base.

Security

Healthcare data demands serious security. MaternaTrack includes bcrypt password hashing, Google OAuth 2.0, two-factor authentication (TOTP), CSRF protection on all forms, session timeout management, login attempt throttling, XSS and SQL injection prevention, and a full audit trail that logs every change with JSON diffs showing exactly what was modified, by whom, and when.

Tech Stack

MaternaTrack runs on a standard PHP stack:

• PHP 8.1+ with a custom MVC framework
• MySQL 8.0+ for the database
• Tailwind CSS v4 for the frontend
• DOMPDF for PDF generation
• PhpSpreadsheet for Excel exports
• Semaphore API for SMS
• Google OAuth 2.0 and TOTP 2FA for authentication
• Mobile responsive design that works on phones, tablets, and desktops
• Dark/light mode toggle

Project Scale

MaternaTrack is a substantial system: 9,000+ lines of PHP, 20 controllers, 15 models, 70+ views, 233 routes, and full documentation covering installation, configuration, database schema, all 18 modules, security hardening, and a Laravel migration path if you want to scale up later.
