 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Hospital is the place where people’s lives gets saved by the doctors. When a person gets sick or get
some kind of diseases they have to go to hospital for checkup. They have to pay money, take
token/ticket and then only they get the appointment of doctor. Doctor will tell the patient what to do
and what not to do and if the patient is not well the will be treated in hospital. This is how the hospital
of nowadays work.
But sometimes people have to wait for longer period of time in order to just get to meet the doctor. All
people won’t have so much time to spend in hospital. Peoples have own jobs to do so they will have
limited time to stay in hospital but the system present in hospital will make patient wait for long time.
Using an online medium, we can get the appointment of doctors without going to hospital and not
only that we will know the timing when the doctor will be available in hospital. This will save time of
patient and doctors will know how busy their schedule will be because they will also know the
number of appointment they got in a day.

 BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM STATEMENT

hospital. The timing of doctor is not known by the patients therefore we have to waste a lot of time in
hospital. So this project tries to solve the problem of people who wants to save time and they don’t
want to stay in queue for a longer time.
