The problem Health is Wealth solves

• Problem: Patients often experience long wait times at clinics and hospitals.

• Solution: To address this issue, we have developed an online booking appointment system with the following features:

  • Predictive Scheduling: A predictor helps patients estimate their arrival time at the hospital, improving time management.
  • Flexible Appointments: Patients can choose appointment slots at their convenience, saving valuable time.

• Privacy and Security Measures:

  • Private Doctor-Patient Chats: Privacy concerns and chat leakage are resolved by using Socket.io for chatting, with dedicated rooms for each conversation.
  • Data Security: The problem of data leaks is tackled by storing all data in a Blockchain contract, ensuring data immutability and resistance to unauthorized changes.

This comprehensive approach enhances patient experience by reducing wait times and ensuring the privacy and security of their information.

Challenges I ran into

Challenges Faced

• Blockchain Integration Challenge: We encountered difficulties connecting the blockchain component to our deployed website. Despite diligent efforts, we have been unable to establish the intended connection, impacting our ability to securely store and manage user data.

• Taking Long to train model: Initially we did not know about pickle for saving our model and reusing, so we were training the model everytime user made a request, which caused timeout error.
