PROJECT

Build a Doctor Appointment Booking System Using the MyERN Stack

In this project, we’ll learn to build a fully functional Doctor Appointment Booking System using the MyERN stack (MySQL, Express.js, React, and Node.js). This full stack health care web app enables users to search for doctors, view detailed profiles, check live availability, and book appointments through an interactive calendar. Key features include secure user authentication and appointment management. The project emphasizes responsive UI/UX design, RESTful API integration, and dynamic slot scheduling with a MySQL database. This project is ideal for developers looking to master MyERN stack development, React-based booking systems, and practical health tech applications.

Project Description

Scheduling health care appointments is often a manual and fragmented process for both patients and clinics. With this project, we simplify and modernize the experience by guiding developers through building a Doctor Appointment Booking System, now enhanced with AI-powered chatbot support. Our solution streamlines how patients search for doctors, view availability, and book consultations, replacing outdated methods such as phone-based scheduling or unstructured messaging. We built this full-stack web application with React, Node.js, Express, and MySQL.

It provides two primary user interfaces, plus a conversational assistant that improves accessibility and engagement:

1. Find a doctor and book an appointment

Users can:

  • Browse detailed doctor profiles with specialties, fees, experience, and reviews.

  • Select appointment dates via a custom calendar.

  • View real-time available time slots and book appointments with a reason for the visit.

  • Receive confirmation and feedback after booking.

  • Get assistance from an integrated chatbot that helps with navigation and answers queries.

2. Appointment management

Patients can:

  • Log in securely and manage their appointments.

  • View past and upcoming bookings.

  • Cancel appointments if needed.

3. Chatbot integration

  • We integrate a chatbot powered by Google Gemini to assist users with booking and navigation.

  • It is embedded directly into the interface, offering real-time, AI-driven responses.

  • This feature enhances the user experience by making the system more interactive and accessible.
