hospitals are available worldwide in 2015 which is quite low with respect to population. So our model helps in managing the appointments in such a large extent which will ultimately reduce the load on hospitals. Our model provides the facilities like instant appointment booking with the generation of unique patient ID which will identify any patient worldwide. Thus it will help in tracking any patient’s medical reports with the option of online payment, reducing the use of paper and this will be a big step in saving the trees and environment. Our model also gives a comparison feature, enabling the users to get a glance of various prices, ratings of hospitals and doctors. Another important feature which our model provides is locating nearest hospitals from patient’s location.
