Business Objective: The objective of this project was to develop an online platform that would enable patients to easily find and book medical facilities near their location. The platform would offer a user-friendly interface, enable patients to search for specific medical services, provide real-time availability of medical facilities, and allow patients to securely book appointments.
Approach: The development team began by conducting research on the healthcare industry and the target audience, including the types of medical facilities and services that patients typically seek. Based on this research, the team developed a strategy for the platform that included the following features:
Client:
Tibika
Category:

1. Geolocation-Based Search:
The platform would use the patient’s location data to display nearby medical facilities. This would enable patients to find and book appointments with medical facilities that are conveniently located.
2. Comprehensive Medical Facility Listings:
The platform would feature a comprehensive listing of medical facilities, including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and pharmacies. Each medical facility would have detailed information, such as the services offered, address, contact details, and availability.
3. Advanced Search and Filters:
The platform would allow patients to search for medical facilities by service type, location, availability, and other parameters. Patients could filter their search based on ratings, reviews, and other relevant criteria to find the best medical facility for their needs.
4. Secure Booking and Payment Processing:
The platform would enable patients to book appointments with medical facilities securely. Patients would be required to provide basic information, such as name, age, and medical history, and would be able to securely pay for the appointments through the platform.
The development team continued to refine the platform based on patient feedback and added new features, such as real-time availability of medical facilities and appointment reminders.
Conclusion
The development of an online medical facility booking platform based on geolocation requires a thorough understanding of the healthcare industry and the needs of patients. By conducting research and developing a comprehensive strategy, the development team was able to create a user-friendly platform that offered a wide range of medical facilities and services. The platform’s secure booking and payment processing and advanced search and filters were key features that contributed to the platform’s success in improving accessibility to healthcare services.
