1.0 INTRODUCTION
In this modern world everything can be controlled and accessed without the presence of a particular person- that which the time constraint of the modern world demands. This concept is implemented in a complete way through the ONLINE MEDICAL is project. It is not practical in today’s life to spend much time only being dedicated for a particular work.
The admin module is concerned with updating of the number of patients and doctors in the medical portal. The admin can add doctors to the portal and enter their details like Name, Qualification and Specialization etc. He can view the details of both patients and doctors and has the right to delete from the medical portal if necessary.
Every patient will be given unique patient ID .When a patient comes to reception desk, a new registration number is automatically allotted to him. His personal details like Name, Age, Sex, Address etc. and the service desired are fed into the software. The patient can then view the doctor available to him and the send a request to the doctors for his approval.The doctor on getting request from the patient decides to whether to accept his request or reject it. After receiving approval from the doctor the patient can start communicating with the doctor by sending offline message. There is also an option for both the patient and the doctor to do live chatting.

2.3 EXISTING SYSTEM
At present, the existing system is partially computerized. This system is mainly implemented in hospitals. The information necessary for the smooth operation of a hospital outpatient section is not easily available to staff in the op-section.
In the existing system, the details regarding the departments and doctors are stored and updated or deleted with much effort. A detailed study of the existing system with the constraints and structures, which gives a complete idea of the present system, is said below and we consider only single module for the system.
Problems with existing system
• All records may not be handled or written by the same person, so the format will be different resulting in loss.
• The lifetime of paper record is very less that it easily get damaged, thus resulting in loss of data.
• It is quite difficult for generating the reports and is time consuming for any updation.
• The great limitation to the existing system is that, service to the customer is limited
• Manual system needs more manpower for its functioning than computer system. Expenditure is high in terms of salary and time.
• The other limitation of the existing system is that there is no communication between doctor and patient when they are away from the hospital.
