PetCare
Pet health records with NFC tag scanning
PetCare links a pet's health history to a physical NFC tag on its collar. Owners set up a profile and scan the tag to attach it, then book appointments and track vaccinations from their phone, while clinic staff manage the same record from a web admin panel.

The challenge
Pet owners and vet staff had no shared, scannable record of a pet's health history. Appointments, vaccinations and case notes lived in separate paper files or a clinic's own system, so a new vet or a traveling owner had no quick way to see a pet's history. PetCare gives each pet a profile tied to a physical NFC tag, so scanning the collar opens the record directly.
Who uses it
- Pet owners
- Set up a pet profile, scan the NFC tag to attach it, book appointments and view vaccination history on Android.
- Doctors
- Sign up, log in and manage their own case list, schedule and case details through the Android app.
- Clinic admin
- Manage doctors, appointments, vaccinations, medicines, pets, users and incoming tag requests from the web panel.
What we built
We built an Android app where owners set up a pet profile, scan an NFC tag to attach it to the pet, and book appointments, plus a PHP/Bootstrap admin panel for clinics to manage doctors, appointments, vaccinations, medicines and incoming tag requests. A separate API layer serves both the app and the admin.
NFC tag scanning
Scanning a pet's collar tag opens its profile directly, linking a physical tag to a digital record.
Pet profile setup
Owners create a profile for each pet and submit tag requests that clinic staff approve.
Appointment booking
Owners book appointments with doctors; doctors see their case list and schedule in the app.
Vaccination tracking
Clinic staff log vaccinations and medicines against each pet's record.
Doctor accounts
Doctors sign up with OTP verification and manage their own case details and schedule.
Tag request queue
The admin panel lists incoming NFC tag requests for staff to review and fulfill.
Banner management
Admins manage promotional banners shown to users and doctors in the app.
How it works
- Owner creates an account and sets up a pet profile in the Android app.
- Owner requests an NFC tag, which clinic staff approve in the admin panel.
- Owner scans the tag to attach it to the pet, linking the physical collar tag to the record.
- Owner books an appointment with a doctor; the doctor sees it in their case list.
- Clinic staff log vaccinations and medicines against the pet after the visit.
Every part of the product
Android app
Java, Firebase
The app pet owners and doctors use to manage profiles, scan tags, book appointments and track vaccinations.
Admin panel
PHP, Bootstrap
Clinic staff manage doctors, appointments, vaccinations, medicines, pets, users and tag requests.
REST API
PHP
Separate API layers serve the mobile app and the admin panel over a shared database.
How it’s built
The product splits into an Android app for owners and doctors, a PHP/Bootstrap admin panel for clinic staff, and separate REST API layers for the mobile and admin sides, all against one database. The app uses Firebase for authentication, analytics and crash reporting, OTP flows for both owner and doctor sign-up, and native NFC scanning to read a tag and look up the matching pet. The admin side keeps doctors, appointments, vaccinations, medicines and tag requests as distinct modules so clinic staff can manage each independently.
