How we would build a desktop app that runs patient queues and records — and keeps working when the internet drops.

The challenge
In many small clinics, patients wait in a crowded room with paper token numbers, unsure how long they will wait. Records live in paper files that go missing between visits.
If the clinic’s internet is unreliable, a browser-based system would stop the queue every time the connection fails.
Our solution
We would build an Electron desktop app that stores everything locally in SQLite, with encrypted backups whenever the internet is available. Reception issues tokens, and a TV screen in the waiting room shows the current number.
Doctors see each patient’s history, prescriptions and notes on screen, and patients get an SMS when their turn is close so they can wait outside.
