Description of the project you wish to undertake
Research Topic
Doctor’s Application development for booking appointments
Research Aim
To investigate the online booking appointment system for the doctors and patients convenience
for better time management
Research objectives
 To analyse the problem faced by doctor while managing its online booking systems
 To examine the solutions in order to book appoints in a quick and easy manner
 To determine the development of application with each and every stage execution
 To study safety and security features of an application development
Research questions
What are the problems faced by doctor while managing its online booking systems?
What can be solutions in order to book appointments in a quick and easy manner?
Describe the procedure of development of application with each and every stage execution?
What are the safety and security features of an application development?
Brief description of the deliverables
Scope of the research to investigate the development of the application which is easier to
use from both the back end and the front end. It is important to research about the mobile
application for the benefit of the doctors and patients so that any confusion can be reduced and
proper management can be performed. It requires a high level of coding and programming
language knowledge with technical expertise so that the development of the application can be in
a professional manner. There is a higher significance mobile application development for the
treatment of the patients on time without wasting any time and also the cost efficient way.
Nowadays it is important to adapt to the advanced technology so that functioning and working of
medical projects can be easier for the citizens of the nation. That is why this research has a good
scope in the mobile application development domain (Praveena, Krupa and SaiPreethi, 2019).
Research design used in the following research report of doctor’s mobile application
development is the descriptive research design. It is one of the scientific methods which includes
1

the observation and description of the behaviour of the research topic without any influencing
nature. This research design has in-depth investigation about research topics (Jogalekar, Pal,
Yadav and Ingle, 2021). As per the current scenario the research is all about the mobile
application development and therefore heavy coding and technical expertise are responsible for
the descriptive research so that it can be executed in an accurate manner. Research methods used
are the interviews and questionnaires along with the case studies and focus groups in order to
gather the different opinions from different people (Mukherjee and Lakshmikantha, 2020).
Brief explanation of the problem you are addressing
Background of the research report is based on the doctor’s application for booking
appointments in a simple and quick manner. Doctors were having a problem in the long process
to book appointments with the patients and confirm it which also results in the error in the
confirmation. It takes too much time to book an appointment because the sources were only the
mobile phone and online website. That is why this development of application is innovated
which is fast and easy to use which gets an appointment quickly and easily for the patients as
well as the doctors. This is a research which is performed by evaluating the user studies and
questionnaires interviews focus group (KM, 2021). It is based on the browser interface for the
reception connected to the application. This helps in maintaining the security of the application
for example login and logout along with the registration and authentication of user. This report
also contains a security features along with the usability and interface design in order to
maximize the user experience in a positive manner. The entire literature review is based on the
problems faced by doctor while managing its online booking systems. It also discusses the
solutions in order to book appointments in a quick and easy manner. This research also reviews
the procedure of development of application with each and every stage execution along with its
safety and security features (Odeh, Abdelhadi and Odeh, 2019).
Brief explanation of how you can evaluate your work
Evaluating of the entire work is performed by investigation and researching on the topic
about mobile application development online booking appointments which is an important
concept to learn and study in order to apply such applications to real world organisations. This is
because adopting the new form of Technology in order to comfort the working of the profession
is important in our days for better growth and development of the economy and the individual as
2

well. Therefore it is important to study about the technology and mobile applications which
makes the working easier for the customers as well as for the organisation (Khurana, Qiu and
Kumar, 2019. The above information is all about the research on the doctors application
development for booking appointments. Investigation is made on the above topic in the form of
research objectives and research aims along with the research questions. The proper background
and significance along with the research scope is also discussed in the above report. Moreover
the type of design and the type of method used in the existing research is also informed in the
above report. Hence this report covers all such areas in order to better understand the conception
of mobile development.
