Title
DOCTOR APPOINTMENT BOOKING SYSTEM
Abstract
Access to timely and organized medical care is often hindered by inefficient appointment booking systems, resulting in scheduling conflicts, long wait times, and administrative burden. This project addresses these challenges by developing DocBook, a web-based doctor appointment booking system designed to improve healthcare accessibility and streamline the scheduling process for patients, doctors, and administrators.
The system was implemented using a modular, role-based structure that enables patients to search for doctors, view profiles, book or cancel appointments, and make payments online. Doctors can manage their schedules and track appointments, while administrators are provided with tools to oversee users and system activity. Methods included designing user-centered interfaces, applying secure authentication mechanisms, and testing the system through automated end-to-end simulations.
