This study focuses on the development of an Electronic Visitor Management System for small-scale hospitals, utilizing an Agile-based Scrum Framework and a Low No-Code (Low Code No Code) platform. The primary aim is to address the challenges of managing crowds and footfalls in hospital in-patient departments (IPD) efficiently. The methodology employed for this project involved the use of the mHealth agile framework, combining clinical product development stages with agile development. A Scrum team was formed, and a comprehensive project timeline was established, with a series of sprints, each with its specific goals and associated product backlog items. The development tools utilized included the Zoho Low Code No Code platform, SQL database, and Android Studio for publishing the application. Results from each sprint are discussed, ranging from defining the project scope to releasing the successful application. The study emphasizes the importance of user consultation for enhancing the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) of the application. Feedback from stakeholders and end-users played a crucial role in refining the product. Overall, this study showcases the successful development of an Electronic Visitor Management System for hospitals, highlighting the role of technology and healthcare professionals in digital health initiatives, reducing development time and costs.
