Abstract:
This study's objective is to develop an online system required for the registration and dispensation of drugs using computer programs that obtains drugs supplies, distribution of drugs and monitors the drug stock management using Mountain top university as a case study. The study identified the various user and system requirements, specified the system design and implemented the system. A review of the literature was being done to identify and understand existing registration and dispensation of drugs using online systems.The
system and the user specifications of the systems were identified from system users using informal interviews. The database of the system was implemented using Local db (Mysql). The execution of the frontend was done using pug view template and CSS. The backend was implemented using Node JS, Express JS Decentralized application (dab) and Transaction MEAN. The results of the system showed the implementation of the system’s
database for storing the information alongside the front-end of the web and mobile application. The results revealed that the system was able to uniquely identify each user’s profile, drugs. The study concluded that using the system within the School, Mountain Top University mitigate most of the challenges associated with
monitoring the students usage of drugs especially with the rules on curbing the abuse of illegal drugs or substances within the School premises.
