Requirement Gathering
I hope this email finds you well. As per our earlier discussion, we decided to create a web and
mobile app for IOS/Android that allows patients to book doctors, both for physical and online
consultations in Iraq, as well as online consultations for Iraqi residents with doctors from around
the world.
The platform simplifies and streamlines the process of finding the right doctor according to their
specialty and booking an appointment with them. This can be done by searching for doctors by
name, specialty, provenance, or location using the GPS button, similar to Facebook Marketplace.
The solution will allow end-users to manage submitting their request, get the feedback they need,
and complete payments all through the web and mobile app. Additionally, it will facilitate the
lives of doctors and increase their revenue by creating a new revenue stream.
Based on our requirements, I would appreciate it if you could provide an estimated realistic
timeline for the project completion with a fully functional platform.
