Company Overview
Project Description
The project was to build a website for the hospital, in which the hospital will
list all the patient inforamtion . Project Overview MedApp is a web-based
medical appointment scheduler designed to streamline the process of
scheduling and managing appointments for healthcare providers and patients.
The application will allow patients to book appointments online, receive
reminders, and view their appointment history.. The basic idea for the site is to
provide a one stop location for the interns to avail the company services .
Project Goals:
Front-end:
HTML5 :
- HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the set of markup symbols or codes
inserted into a file intended for display on the Internet. The markup tells web
browsers how to display a web page's words and images.HyperText Markup
Language (HTML) is the basic scripting language used by web browsers to
render pages on the world wide web. HyperText allows a user to click a link and
be redirected to a new page referenced by that link. We used HTML to create
the structure of our website and create all the backlinks in it. we also created
forms for submission using it. Designed a lot of forms. In the end, it was a
successful project.
Key Features:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Content goes here -->
</body>
</html>

3. Web Workers API
4. Canvas API
5. SVG API
Key Features:
Frameworks:
• Bootstrap
• Foundation
• Bulma
• Tailwind CSS
Javascript :
JavaScript (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented
language with first-class functions, and is best known as the scripting language
for Web pages, but it's used in many non-browser environments as well. It is a
prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and
supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
JavaScript runs on the client-side of the web, which can be used to design /
program how the web pages behave on the occurrence of an event. We used
javascript for different functions on the website like button functionality,
different types of error messages, and Omnibox, different types, submission
page for the internship application, also we built a live update functionality
using javascript where progress will be updated. it also has a point system, the
more point a student can get the more will be better. we use javascript
extensively in all the core functionalities of the website. I am happy to say that
all those codes ultimately worked, the website ran perfectly.
Key Features:
• Dynamic typing
• First-class functions
• Prototype-based inheritance
• Async/await syntax
• DOM manipulation
• Event handling
• AJAX and fetch APIs

React js :
- React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a free and open-source front-end
JavaScript library . for building user interfaces or UI components. It is
maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and
companies. React can be used as a base in the development of single-page or
mobile applications. However, React is only concerned with state management
and rendering that state to the DOM, so creating React applications usually
requires the use of additional libraries for routing, as well as certain client-side
functionality. The management finally decided to convert our project to react
so as some of us were not familiar with react very much about react, so they
provided us adequate memorial for training in react, we then learn it from the
ground and with the help of different search platforms and our seniors we are
able to convert the code to react. I am happy to announce that went well for
us, we get to work on one of the most demanding languages in the world right
now for building UI/UX, we get to learn so many things.

• Extensive ecosystem (npm)
Node.js Architecture:
1. Web Framework
- Flask:
Flask was chosen for the backend development due to its lightweight nature
and flexibility. It allowed us to build RESTful APIs and manage user requests
efficiently. Flask’s modular design helped in the development of various
features such as user registration, appointment booking, and admin
management.
- Flask enabled us to define routes for creating, viewing, updating, and
deleting appointments as well as handling user sessions.
2. Database Management
-SQLite:
For storing user data (patients, doctors, and admins), appointment details, and
doctor availability, SQLite was chosen due to its simplicity and ease of use in
smaller projects. Its lightweight nature made it an ideal candidate for local
development.
- SQLAlchemy:
SQLAlchemy was used as the Object Relational Mapper (ORM) to interact with
the SQLite database. This allowed us to write cleaner and more maintainable
Python code to manage database operations (such as queries, inserts, and
updates).
3. Frontend Design
- HTML/CSS/Bootstrap: For the user interface, we used HTML and CSS to
create the structure and layout. Bootstrap was integrated to ensure a
responsive design, providing a smooth experience across different devices like
desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Jinja2: The Jinja2 templating engine, which comes with Flask, was used to
dynamically render HTML pages. This allowed us to easily pass data (such as
appointment details) from the backend to the frontend.
5. User Authentication
- Flask-Login: Flask-Login was used to manage user authentication and session
handling. This library allowed us to securely log in users (patients, doctors, and
administrators), control their access to various parts of the application, and
manage user roles (e.g., restricting patients from accessing admin
functionalities).
- The application also included password management features, allowing
users to securely reset their passwords when necessary.
6. Notification System
- smtplib: To send email notifications to patients and doctors, Python’s
smtplib was used. This allowed us to send automated emails through an SMTP
server, reminding patients of their upcoming appointments.
- Twilio API: For SMS notifications, Twilio’s API was integrated. This allowed us
to send text messages to patients’ phones as reminders of their scheduled
appointments. Twilio's ease of use and Python integration made it an excellent
choice for this feature.
8. API Integration
- Google Calendar API: As part of the project’s future scope, the Google
Calendar API was integrated to sync appointments directly to the user’s Google
Calendar. This feature aimed to improve user experience by allowing doctors
and patients to add their appointments to their personal calendars seamlessly.

Project Status:
Completed Features:
1. User Authentication: Secure login system for patients, doctors, and
administrators.
2. Appointment Booking: Patients can schedule appointments based on
doctor availability.
3. Automated Notifications: Email and SMS notifications are sent to remind
patients of upcoming appointments.
4. Doctor and Admin Dashboards: Role-based access control allows doctors
and admins to manage schedules, view upcoming appointments, and edit
patient information.
5. Database Integration: Appointments and user data are stored and managed
in a SQLite database.
In Progress:
1. *Google Calendar Sync*: Integration with Google Calendar API is under
development. This feature will allow users to sync their scheduled
appointments with their Google Calendar.
Planned Features:
1. *Telemedicine Integration*: A future phase of the project involves
integrating video conferencing for virtual appointments.
2. Analytics and Reports: Another planned feature is the generation of reports
for doctors and admins, providing insights into appointment trends and patient
flow.

Conclusion:
The project is currently in a functional state with essential features like user
management, appointment booking, and automated notifications already
implemented. Moving forward, the integration with Google Calendar and other
features such as telemedicine will add more value to the system, making it a
comprehensive solution for medical appointment scheduling.
