II. LITERATURE REVIEW

A. Reference Paper 1

Normally when we want to make an appointment with the hospital staff, it becomes really tedious and time consuming. Over the past considerable amount of work have been done by using software Agents in areas like m-commerce, e-commerce, telemedicine etc. Agent based systems have also been developed for the hospital service, for searching and fixing appointment over mobile phones which gives a direct reply when the appointment is made or the next available date(s) or cancelled.

However, no facility like priority appointment of patients has been developed. Also the appointment does not take into consideration emergency situations like Accidents and so on and the scheduling reported is only for general patient appointment only. Taking these important aspects into consideration, we here have developed an intelligent agent based system towards negotiating and collaborating with the agents of doctors and the hospital for the appropriaten appointment time for the patient which would take the above factors into consideration.

In addition the meetings of the junior staff like the duty doctor and nurse with the chief doctor regarding patients would also carried out again while taking into consideration the medical condition of the patient admitted and so on. These agents developed would function based on fuzzy preference rules, to make a proper decision regarding making an appointment for patient and other hospital staff , which is very unique and first of its kind. The system validated uses ANDROID 2.2 and JADE-LEAP, for providing a robust,user friendly solution for the patient and doctor

B. Reference Paper 2

The current standard operating procedure in healthcare environment for patient registration and appointment scheduling are time consuming and somehow tiresome. Normally, we see patients coming to the hospital and filling out registration forms and waiting to be called or patient calls in for getting appointment and waits for the response for an agreed date. In some places appointment can be done online via web but still patient has to walk in with the appointment card to be swiped by the front desk personnel before being sent to the concerned doctor. In view of these problems, many techniques like online patient registration and scheduling appointment, etc., have been suggested to improve the work flow and thereby smoothen the waiting time. However, these systems still possess some drawbacks like facilities towards

III. PROPOSED METHODLOGY OF SOLVING IDENTIFICATION PROBLEM

We implement Medical Services System, which can run on any mobile. Our Application contains admin Panel, which helps to add and maintain information of doctors. Details of nearby doctors according to the location of patients.

The proposed System is to create an android app so that doctors are available within required time. Initially by observing, the doctor details with qualification and working the patient can take appointment. Using this system the patient will not need to rush here and there in search of doctor. The purpose of this system is to update relevant information regarding the doctor. So that when it is need for any others, they can view doctor where it can be access through the system.

This Application contains admin panel, which helps to add information of new available doctors and maintain the information of doctors. This application also maintain details of patients and follows two-step verification process at the start of the application. Medical Services is an android application, which allows patients to freely access doctor’s profiles and has the option of blood bank.

It basically, contains details of doctors and hospitals and information is have to make available depending upon the location of patients/user. This application has map facility, which allows patients to reach doctors within less time. It also contains Admin Panel, which helps developer of this application to add details of new doctors within from app itself.

Conclusion

We have proposed efficient and reliable application for doctor information. The service provided by the proposed system is needed and valuable to health sector where the patients can find the doctor related to their health issues. The proposed System is helping us to reduce human search efforts. The doctor’s directory system through mobile devices is a very effective tool, which can be used to a great extent. The system is portable and can be easily installed and used on any mobile phones supporting Android OS. The use of this system can result in a reduction of number of hours spent in searching for doctors and contacting them at the time of need. It also provides an interface, which is easy to understand by the users and greatly helps in adapting to the use of this system. We have proposed an efficient and reliable application for doctor information. The service provided by the proposed system is needed and valuable to health sector where the patients can find the doctor related to their health issues. The proposed system is helping us to reduce the human search efforts.
