Build a Doctor Appointment Booking System Using the MyERN Stack

Build a Doctor Appointment Booking System Using the MyERN Stack

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 Our solution streamlines how patients search for doctors, view availability, and book consultations, replacing outdated methods such as phone-based scheduling or unstructured messaging.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.
