The Online Hospital System is an on-line website that allows patients to diagnose their diseases, illnesses, and other related ailments. This system will provide features that will help the patient better diagnose and understand their illness through the use of webcams, chat messengers, databases, and other technologies. For example, the use of webcams can help the patients interact with doctors. The doctors can also request medical histories, questionnaires, and other needed information through the webcam and chat services. The doctors can also check the patient’s blood pressure, body temperature, and other data that can help the doctors diagnose the patient.
There is also an appointment desk to which the patients can make an appointment online to see a doctor. Patients can also tell the doctors about their symptoms, and in turn, the doctors can prescribe prescription drugs to the patients online. These prescriptions are sent to the nearest drug store of the patient’s choice. All this is done real-time through the usage of webcams, chat services, and file exchange services. There are also discussion boards for patients to discuss about their illnesses.

Finally, our system also provides a search application that can let patients
make searches of all the common illnesses and diseases in accordance to the
symptoms that the patients put for their search criteria. For example, a
patient might put in the search criteria symptoms of “cough”, “phlegm”,
“sore throat”, “trouble swallowing”, and “painful throat”. This would
lead to all sorts of results that would revolve around strep throat viruses
and bacteria. The patient would then be able to learn more about it and make
his/her choices accordingly.
