Abstract : Challenges with donors, health screening process, retrieval of donor information, and managing donation schedules and inventory. This Capstone Project aims to address these gaps by developing a web-based application to support the Human Milk Bank and Lactation Support Center (HMBLSC) at J.R. Borja General Hospital. The system is a web-based application. The system chose the Agile Methodology, an SDLC that allows continuous iterations based on feedback. Laravel for the web framework, PHP language, MySQL for database management. Figma for UI design, Draw.io for diagrams, Trello as project management tool, and SUS for usability. Intended users of the system are the HMBLSC staff, breastmilk donors, mothers, and infants in need. The key features includes online health screening, donation and request scheduling, home collection with location sharing, along with inventory monitoring and tracking, validation of records, and report generations. The testing indicates the good performance is good across modules, with all of the test cases passed. The system is effective with a SUS score of 77.9(excellent), showing higher user satisfaction. The web application improves breastmilk donation and request processes, offering reliability, usability, and efficient workflow. Future enhancements include a module for admins to publish announcements, and adding sms notifications for scalability.

Keywords : Breastmilk Donation; Breastmilk Request; Health Screening; Human Milk Bank; Agile; Laravel; Web Application.
