TL;DR
“A remote consultation platform that connects patients with doctors for effective healthcare communication, allowing easy access to medical advice through messaging and video calls.”
Problem & Approach
The story of why this project existed and the shape of the solution.
MedKonnect is a medical consultation app designed to connect patients in remote areas with qualified doctors through messaging and video calls, enabling them to receive medical advice and support.
The app serves as a vital resource for individuals in underprivileged regions, where access to healthcare professionals is limited. By providing multiple communication options, including messaging and video conferencing, MedKonnect ensures that patients can consult with doctors from the comfort of their homes. This reduces the need for travel and makes healthcare more accessible to those who might otherwise go without.
In addition to consultations, MedKonnect allows patients to manage their appointments, upload medical reports, and maintain a history of their health metrics, such as weight and blood pressure. With roles for doctors, patients, and administrators, the platform is equipped with features to facilitate seamless communication and effective management of healthcare services, making it a comprehensive solution for remote medical consultations.

Challenges & Refactors
Changing the schedule of doctors does not preserve existing appointments, leading to confusion and potential missed consultations.
Define a method for scaling and mapping old schedules to new ones, ensuring appointments are preserved and providing an interface for patient acceptance of rescheduled appointments.
Currently, video calling is reliant on external applications like WhatsApp, which complicates user experience.
Integrate a native video calling feature within the app for seamless consultations.
The messaging system for consultations is not implemented, limiting communication options.
Implement a real-time messaging feature for effective communication between doctors and patients.
