Rapid Application Development was selected to be the system development lifecycle (SDLC) to ensure that the application can be delivered within the time constraints. The prototype has been developed with Adobe PhoneGap platform that provide the developer with wide range of android capabilities and features with easy to learn steps. The important reasoning element, Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagram and MyHomePharmacy prototype serve as result and outcome of this research project. The (UML) diagrams include Use Case, Activity, and Class diagram. User Acceptance Test and Application Functionality Test have been conducted. There are 60% user rated good for User Acceptance Test and 80% functionality success recorded. All the recommendations and improvements about the prototype are recorded for future reference and alteration. The future improvements include the neat and beautiful user interface and able to display wide range of diseases selected for the application.
