Abstract
According to research undertaken by Gamma Health Center (GHC), the geriatric (elderly) most at
times become a burden for most working families as they must be catered for and sent to the
hospital for regular routine checks, especially in situations where they have special health
concerns. It becomes more challenging for such working guardians who may have to spend
virtually all day or most of their working hours at the hospital with their elderly relatives for just
a routine medical check-up.
With the advancement in medical care and technology, and especially with a shift to preventive
medicine, the geriatric population is expected to increase and with most families becoming a part
of the working-class society, this will pose a serious problem in the society and the health sector
as well. This project seeks to solve this problem by developing a web and mobile application for
doctors and guardians or caretakers of geriatrics to help save their time by allowing them to schedule appointments for the routine checkup of their geriatric relatives.
