Problems Statements:
Long Wait Times: Patients often experience long wait times for checkups, which
can negatively impact their health and lead to increased frustration.
Difficulties in Booking Appointments: Many individuals find it difficult to book
appointments in person due to work commitments.
Communication Challenges: Patients frequently struggle to connect with
receptionists over the phone, leading to unanswered calls and missed
appointments.
Limited Information on Doctors: Patients often lack essential information about
available doctors and their specialties, forcing them to accept treatments from
assigned providers without knowing their qualifications.
Challenges in Booking Appointments
Patients must physically go to the hospital or call during limited hours to
schedule appointments. This inconvenience makes it hard for them to access
healthcare, resulting in missed appointments and delays in receiving care.
Manual Record Keeping
Relying on paper-based appointment systems leads to errors and lost patient
information, creating confusion and inefficiencies. A digital solution is needed for
better management.
Initial Features
Patients can easily register and log in to their accounts. They can search for
doctors by specialty and book appointments if the doctor is available. Patients
can pay their appointment fees online and cancel appointments if needed. All
upcoming appointments and details are accessible from their profiles, making
the process simple and convenient.
Doctors can easily manage their profiles, including their qualifications and
availability. They have access to a dashboard where they can view and manage
upcoming appointments, as well as a list of scheduled patients.
Admin has the ability to create doctor profiles and view all appointments and the
list of doctors, patients. The admin is also responsible for adding available time
slots to each doctor's profile, ensuring that patients can book appointments
during specified hours
Feedback
Once the initial features are complete, I will add a feedback system that allows
patients to rate doctors and services. This will help providers gather valuable
insights to improve care quality and enhance the overall patient experience.
The system offers hassle-free user authentication and role-based access for patients, doctors,
and admins.
I will continue to research and surely will be adding more features after
completing the initial functionalities. Your feedback and guidance will help me
improve the project and ensure it meets the needs of both patients and
healthcare providers.
