Tabibi
Always Caring. Always Here.
Overview
Tabibi is an on-demand app where people can find a doctor as per doctor's specialty and based on their nearby location. Users can book an appointment with a doctor by selecting their time slots and symptoms. You can also find nearby Clinics, Radio/Laboratory, Pharmacy, and many more with details. Tabibi app offers a fully automated notification service that sends appointment reminders and other messages to the patients. This will make it easier for patients and doctors as well. There is one other app, "Tabibi Doctor," that is built for Doctors. To sign up as a doctor, users need to enter the required details & documents like certificate, available time, experience, and select health care services. Using the Tabibi Platform, Practitioners will save their time and money that can be invested in better care for their patients. The solution has been made for Medical Practitioners, Dentists, Clinics, and all care-related practitioners. It not only maximizes doctor's outreach but also proves to be the best platform for the users to book appointments and get medical services within their reach.
Client Requirements
Our client believes that doctor related services and details should be readily available to anyone in this smart world because no one wants to waste time or to go to a hospital or doctor clinic just to book an appointment. Moreover, nearby doctors and other lab details should be readily available to anyone. The client's main aim is to develop a digital platform for doctors and patients where they can connect and avail of the best medical service. Hence, the client wanted to create an online platform where app users can easily book doctors' appointments at home. Thus client approached Hyperlink InfoSystem with this fantastic idea, and we have turned it successfully into reality. We have developed two apps as per the client requirement: Tabibi Doctor - for doctors and Tabibi Patient – for patients.

Challenges
Timeslot Management
Generally, the appointment timeslots are manually set by the doctors. Still, dynamic management of the time slots by an application was one of our developers' most significant issues during the appointment booking. It was getting difficult to fetch the available doctors based on the user and doctor location criteria and the time slot. Our back-end developers managed to overcome this situation with custom logic that helped them fetch the available doctors as per the defined criteria.
