| dc.description.abstract | This project focuses on the Design and Implementation of Online Doctor Appointment
System (ODAS) aimed at digitizing and optimizing the conventional healthcare
experience. Traditional hospital systems are often plagued by inefficiencies, including
lengthy queues, manual documentation errors, and delays in obtaining medical
consultations. The primary goal of this research is to develop a comprehensive, scalable,
and secure web-based system to address these critical issues.
The system was developed using PHP for server-side scripting, MySQL for robust data
management, and front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A defining
feature of this DAS is the integration of WebRTC technology, enabling secure, real-time
audio-video communication between patients and doctors, thereby facilitating remote
consultation and follow-up.
The database structure was built using tables for doctors, users, appointments, doctor
schedules, prescriptions, and call signals. Key modules include user-friendly patient
registration, dynamic appointment booking and scheduling, secure messaging, digital
prescription generation, and an administrator panel for system oversight.
The implemented system successfully reduces patient waiting times, minimizes
administrative overhead, and provides instant access to healthcare professionals. Testing
confirmed the system's reliability and its ability to manage large volumes of data and
concurrent real-time sessions, thereby proving its efficacy as a modern solution for efficient
healthcare delivery. | en_US |
