Traditional booking system requires us to go to the hospital to book an appointment with the doctor which
consumes time. Moreover, it becomes difficult for senior citizens to personally go to the hospital to book an appointment for
themselves. In order to overcome this problem, a mobile application is developed which includes an online appointment
booking system. The online appointment booking system is an on-the-go appointment booking system which helps patients
schedule an appointment with their preferred doctor. The main idea of this work is to provide ease and comfort to patients
and it also resolves the problems that the patients face while making an appointment. To enhance doctor-patient interaction,
an online chat feature has been introduced. The location based navigation system will help locate the clinic or hospital and
for emergency numbers and quick remedies, an offline help feature has been introduced.

Convenience and simplicity are the two major highlights of
this application. With the elimination of long queues that the
patients stand in, it provides a way for them to book
appointments of their choice in a convenient manner. The
interface of this application simplifies the task for both the
patients and the doctors. Both of which are also given timely
reminders via SMS or emails about the booked
appointments. The system itself provides and additional
quick view of their appointment at the Homepage of the
application. These are the few steps that indirectly aim at
reducing the number of appointments missed and patients’
no-show up for the same. It also provides a facility wherein
the patients are informed via SMS or email if their
appointments were affected due to some urgent needs of the
service provider at a different place or in situations that
might result to the absence of the requested service.
