Primary Health Centers (PHCs) are frontline healthcare units responsible for delivering essential medical services, maternal care, disease surveillance, and emergency support to rural and semi-urban populations. Their effectiveness depends heavily on the consistent presence of medical officers. However, current attendance mechanisms in many PHCs rely on manual registers orstandalone biometric devices that cannot verify a doctor’s real-time presence at the facility. These traditional systems allow proxy punching, lack geospatial validation, fail to capture time-bound compliance, and provide no mechanism to continuously track a doctor’s location during duty hours. As a result, unauthorized absenteeism, delayed arrivals, and unverifiable attendance records frequently disrupt healthcare delivery. To overcome these limitations, this project proposes an AI-integrated PHC Doctor Attendance Monitoring System that combines facial recognition with continuous geolocation verification. Doctors mark attendance through a secure mobile platform that captures a facial image with embedded GPS metadata, which is authenticated using a CNN-based recognition model. The system enforces geofencing and periodically re-validates the doctor’s live location throughout the shift to ensure sustained presence within the PHC premises. Automated alerts are triggered for missed check- ins, geofence violations, or extended absence, and notifications are escalated to PHC administrators, block-level authorities, and higher health officials. Additionally, the platform incorporates a structured patient data module for logging daily consultations, enabling accurate monitoring of service delivery. Real-time verification and continuous geo-tracking improve accountability and operational efficiency in PHCs.
