Assumption: it assumed that the OES would work efficiently where

patient can book appointment from anywhere and anytime and doctor
manage the appointment having internet connection and internet browser
installed to access the OES web application.

Dependencies: for successful deployment and working of the

application user must have a working internet connection, web browser
installed and perfectly working hardware configuration.
7 Analysis (DFD, E-R Diagrams/ Use case Diagrams etc.):
The whole approach of analysis of problem should however be based around
critical factors the availability of information , time available ,system requirement
specification on SRS has been prepared after proper discussion with the person
attached with the mentioned “OES” .software project management begins with set
of activities collectively called PROJECT PLANNING it includes project
resources ,money required ,time to build the system
7.1 Data Flow Diagram (DFD)
A data-flow diagram is a way of representing a flow of data through a process or a
system (usually an information system). The DFD also provides information about
the outputs and inputs of each entity and the process itself.
7.2 Entity-Relationship DIGRAM
Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram is a type of flowchart that illustrates how
“entities” such as people, objects or concepts relate to each other within a system.

7.3 Use case diagram:

 Unified Modeling Language (UML), a use case diagram can summarize the details
of your system's users (also known as actors) and their interactions with the
system. To build one, you'll use a set of specialized symbols and connectors. An
effective use case diagram can help your team discuss and represent:

 Scenarios in which your system or application interacts with people,

organizations, or external systems.
 Goals that your system or application helps those entities (known as actors)
achieve.
 The scope of your system

9. A Complete Structure :
 Data structure

Modules and process logic

The application consists of number of modules and submodules of which the
important ones are listed below-
1. User Registration and Authentication Module: This module allows
users, both patients and healthcare providers, to create accounts and log in
securely. It manages user profiles, ensuring that only authorized individuals
can access the system.
2. Doctor Profile and Availability Management Module: Healthcare
providers use this module to create and manage their profiles. They can set
their availability, update their credentials, and set their fees. This module
also keeps track of doctor schedules.
3. Appointment Scheduling Module: This is the core of the system.
Patients can browse available doctors, view their schedules, and book
appointments at a convenient time.
4. Notifications and Reminders Module: This module is responsible for
sending appointment confirmation, reminders, and other notifications to both
patients and healthcare providers.
5. User Management Module: Administrators can view, modify, or
delete user accounts, including doctors and patients. They also have the
authority to grant or revoke specific permissions and roles within the system.

10. Overall network architecture:

The network architecture of our web-based doctor's appointment booking system is

designed to provide a robust and scalable platform for patients to seamlessly
schedule appointments with healthcare providers. This architecture comprises
several key components, each playing a crucial role in ensuring the system's
functionality and performance.
User Interface (UI)
Clients interact with our system through a user-friendly interface, which can be
accessed via web browsers or mobile applications. The UI allows users to browse
doctors, view their availability, and book appointments with ease.
Client-Side Application
In web application, the client-side component is responsible for rendering the user
interface and handling user interactions. This part of the system communicates
with the server-side to fetch and submit data, ensuring a responsive and engaging
user experience.
Server-Side Application
The server-side application serves as the heart of the booking system, where core
functionality is managed. It comprises several critical components:
Web Server: This component handles incoming HTTP requests from clients,
routing them to the appropriate parts of the system.
Application Logic: The core business logic of the appointment booking system
resides here. This includes doctor and patient management, appointment
scheduling, and availability checking.
Database: Crucial data, such as doctor profiles, patient information, appointment
slots, and booking details, are stored in a robust database.
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces)
The server-side application exposes APIs to facilitate communication between the
client-side application and the server. These APIs enable clients to request and
submit data, such as doctor information, appointment slots, and booking details,
creating a seamless user experience.
External Services and Integrations
Our system integrates with external services, including payment gateways for
handling booking fees and email services for appointment reminders. These
integrations are achieved through well-defined APIs and secure data transmission
protocols.
11. Overall Implementation of security mechanism at
various levels

1. User Authentication and Authorization:

Each user has roles and only gets access according to its roles. Role
based access is implemented at both levels - frontend and backend.
2. Password Hashing:
Passwords are hashed before storing them in the database so that nobody
except the user knows their password.
3. Secure Communication:
Use HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between clients and the server to
prevent eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks

12. Future scope & further enhancement:

Well our team members have work hard in order to present an improve system
better then existing system still the project can be done in a better way some
advancement can lead to more efficient personalized and patient friendly online
