Hazara University Dhodial Mansehra
Proposal for FYP Spring 2021
Dated: 25-08-2021
Name: Syed Hamza Sherazi Roll No: 47611
Program: IT BSCS
Title of Project: Doctor Appointment App
1) Background/ Problem Statement
Many deadly diseases are preventable and can be cured if treated at an early stage.
However, people tend to ignore the early symptoms of a disease as they are mild. And till the
time they become aware of the disease, the infection has already spread into their body. Hence,
it is always advisable to have a regular body check-up to avoid health issues later. But due to
day-to-day busy schedule many times it is not possible for the patients to go and get a medical
appointment booked in person. Which leads to a delay in the treatment and may cause a major
health problem later. The Online Doctor Application proposed here is an android based smart
application that will help the users to identify a disease based on the symptoms. When a patient
enters his /her symptoms the system will incorporate various machine learning & deep learning
techniques to identify the disease. Then based on the disease identified the system will
recommend a list of doctors having expertise on that particular disease. The patients can book
an appointment with the doctors as per their preferred time & date. The patients can also chat
with a doctor to get consultations.
2.Working of the Project
In this system, the admin can manage or view the details of doctors, patients, diseases
and can also receive feedback from the patients. It also manages all the information of the
doctor's schedule, doctor fees, and appointments for the doctor. The doctor can chat with the
patients directly to keep track and be up to date about their health status. The patients can
guess the disease by entering the symptoms they are suffering from and can also keep up-to-
date knowledge about the new disease and its symptoms. If the user/patient is suffering from
any of the diseases they can book an appointment for the same.
2) Advantages
Doctors can keep track of their appointment and schedules
Patients can keep up-to-date knowledge of any new disease and its symptoms
Doctor can keep track of the patient’s health by in-app chat
3) Project Life Cycle
The waterfall model is a classical model used in system development life cycle to create a
system with a linear and sequential approach. It is termed as waterfall because the model
develops systematically from one phase to another in downward fashion. The waterfall
approach does not define the process to go back to the previous phase to handle changes in
requirement. The waterfall approach is the earliest approach that was used for software
developme
