1.1. SCOPE
The scope of this application to make patients problem decreased as well as doctors
to communicate in any time. In our product app every kind of doctors available for
patients to by search them and take appointments from them directly. This product
will be used by patients as well as doctor’s. There is always a problem between
patient and doctor appointments; make calls, date, time, then go to clinic. With this
product the doctor can see their list of appointments and patients can directly
appoint to some specific doctor which they want. Nowadays the technology is very
fast and global to make human life easy and accurate patients can in touch with
their doctors where they are in the world. Doctors/patients interaction is very
common but some in stages is difficult for both due to some time management and
communication. This is also a great effect on how to find specialist doctors, in big
clinics the receptionist job is going to easy due to this application.
The project goals are:
Frequently chatting, exchange medical reports (attachment).
Once the patient pays the registration fee of specific doctor then anytime
they discuss on disease with each other.
To find any type of doctors regarding to patient problem/disease
Provide feedback for patients about doctors.
Doctors can block the annoying patient from their list.
Appointments booking (confirmation when patient pays the registration
fee).
Provide navigation feature to find turn by turn to the direction to the
doctor’s clinic.
We focus on both doctor and patient comfort level to provide effective efficient way of
communication with other, receptionist can only take appointment if some doctors not
comfortable with take appointments or have not much time.

1.2. MOTIVATION
The idea of this project came in our mind by understanding the difficulties faced by
patients. Which motivate us to improve this system by launching our application and
move interaction between doctors and patients towards digital world which is quite
easy to operate. We monitor all common activities in clinics and hospitals and one of
that is there is not any source of direct contact between patients and doctors. Now a
day mostly patients go online and search for the problem they are facing and take
medicines for that without understanding it properly. Today this system is limited and
people follow things posted by other people based on their experience. We are going
to increase the interaction between doctors and patients by allowing them to do live
interaction with their respected doctor through our application. We think that
portable devices are best to implement this project. So we are working on this project
with our good interest and make doctor patient interactions easy and efficient.
1.3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
There is too much difficulties to find a good doctor in Pakistan for Pakistani people,
because there is not such grading system for doctor’s or for the person very newly in city
don’t know where the clinic is and what is the timing. He doesn’t know what is
consultation fee. There is not such mobile application to cover Pakistan geographic area
for giving right information about doctors and their clinics or hospitals and appoint
doctor time. Sometimes patient unable to find medicine so he is unclear to choose
alternative medicine. So, he has to go back to doctor and sometime have to take another
appointment. Which is waste of time as well as money.

BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE SURVEY
1.4. EXISTING SOLUTIONS
As we know android market is too much huge and there are a lot of doctor’s apps on play
store for the same purpose as ours. Providing doctor related facilities for patients. So,
they can
Appoint doctors from their android device.
Find nearest doctor for their particular disease.
Chat doctor online for quick solution.
Alarm appointments.
View doctor profiles with qualifications, awards and more information
See clinic details such as timings, consultation fees, clinic Address and photos
Provide feedback on the doctor and clinic experience post your appointment.

1.5. PROPOSED SOLUTION
The main reason behind our application is that others apps don’t provide information
about our country Pakistan. Means you can’t appoint doctor or their location on map and
etc. Most of them functionalities work for their own countries.
