In today’s fast-paced life, where ailments are increasing and time to treat them is decreasing,
people need fast access to treatment from any part of the world, and the best way to achieve this
is through online service. The web-based hospital administration system is designed to serve this
purpose. One can look up for specialized medical services, the doctor’s availability, and the various
treatments provided by the hospital. One can book appointments according to their convenience
and select the doctor as per his preference. The doctor’s appointment, the ward, the schedule, the
initial payment to be done, and other pre-requisites can be handled online for the patient. The
existing users can check their previous medical history at any time for future reference. Automatic
updating of the bill is done to the user’s account throughout the treatment. Online Payment of bills
through credit cards is possible. Moreover, the doctors have their account wherein they have
access to their personal information and their respective patient information, which can be
updated. Each patient, when registered, is provided with username and password through which
he is authenticated to view his medical history record and take online help from the doctor. The
doctors are also provided with the password-protected account. The accounts are managed by an
administrator who has access, controls, and rectifies any problem in the system.

INTRODUCTION
The use of mobile devices by health care professionals (HCPs) has transformed many aspects of clinical practice.1,2 Mobile devices have become commonplace in health care settings, leading to rapid growth in the development of medical software applications (apps) for these platforms.1,2 Numerous apps are now available to assist HCPs with many important tasks, such as: information and time management; health record maintenance and access; communications and consulting; reference and information gathering; patient management and monitoring; clinical decision-making; and medical education and training.1–8
Mobile devices and apps provide many benefits for HCPs, perhaps most significantly increased access to point-of-care tools, which has been shown to support better clinical decision-making and improved patient outcomes.2,8–10 However, some HCPs remain reluctant to adopt their use.1,4 Despite the benefits they offer, better standards and validation practices regarding mobile medical apps need to be established to ensure the proper use and integration of these increasingly sophisticated tools into medical practice.4,8,10,11 These measures will raise the barrier for entry into the medical app market, increasing the quality and safety of the apps currently available for use by HCPs.11
