AI-Driven Doctor Scheduling for Efficient Patient Appointments

Abstract

This paper presents an AI-enhanced doctor appointment system designed to optimize the scheduling of medical appointments. The system is composed of four main modules: patient, hospital administration, doctor, and Admin. Upon logging in, users can input their location and symptoms, enabling the system to suggest nearby hospitals based on distance and ratings. Patients can then choose specialist doctors from comprehensive profiles and reviews. Doctors have the capability to update their availability, while hospital administrators can manage appointments for walk-in patients. The system also includes features for notifications and cancellation alerts to improve the user experience. The primary goal of this system is to enhance patient satisfaction, optimize hospital resource usage, and increase the efficiency of medical services. By integrating AI components, the system aims to refine scheduling processes, reduce congestion, and offer a smooth user experience. It utilizes a machine learning model based on support vector machines (SVM) to predict appointment attendance. In today’s fast-paced environment, reliable healthcare services are essential. This approach attempts to improve the connection between patients and healthcare providers by implementing a practical and user-friendly system. Furthermore, the technology provides medical personnel with a powerful tool for effectively managing their calendars, reducing administrative work and assuring a great patient experience.
