Design And Implementation of an Online Medicine Shopping Web Application

Abstract

Online pharmacy is one of the technological advancements in creating a huge demand in the upcoming days. Nowadays, much more online medicine shopping web applications are present in the market. But, because of these websites, consumers will order medicines whose sale is non mandatory without prescriptions. In some cases, non mandatory drugs like narcotics, schedule X, and Y drugs are ordered online due to this shopping application. We have tried to overcome this problem by adding some authenticated online sales of medicines. To avoid the risk and to enhance the benefits, we have adopted the 3- level approach for online shopping for medicines. First of all, the consumer will upload the prescription of the required medicines, in the second stage that prescription will be analyzed by the registered doctor on the site, and in the end, only approved prescriptions will be able to proceed forward to place the order. This will reduce the risk of illegal sales and also protect consumers from side effects due to self-medication. On this website, consumers will get Live Health consultations by Professional Doctors through Live Chat to fix their suitable schedule. In order to develop this website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server, and client-side scripting techniques, and implementation technologies such as PHP, HTML, CSS, Java-Script, and Databases.
