GCC’s largest doctor booking platform
Achievements of Meddy.co
Haris Aghadi, the CEO of Meddy.co, was looking into booking and scheduling software development integrated with the Meddy.co database. A database of hospitals and doctors in Qatar, Dubai, and Bahrain.
We have assembled an engineering team and developed a system where through the website, patients can book appointments with medical specialists who provide various healthcare services. The finished appointment scheduling and management system, which is integrated with the Meddy.co database, allows hospital administrators to schedule appointments for patients with their chosen specialists, thus providing a higher level of patient care and better hospital management. The platform also lets patients view doctors’ schedules and book appointments directly through the Meddy.co website.
Globaldev engineering team
When we started working on the Meddy.co scheduling app, there was already a simple booking system in place that let patients fill in their phone number and get a call from a hospital receptionist. We needed to work with this existing architecture. Thus, when making improvements, it was vital that the changes we introduced were subtle.
For the UI, our main task was to design the dashboard. Using the existing Meddy.co color palette and style, we created a minimalist, simple, and clear design with a couple of neat colorful illustrations.
As with our other projects, the first thing we did was select several of the most important screens (weekly calendar view, login page, and time shift setup) and designed them. After getting our client’s approval, we were able to create a graphical user interface (GUI) kit containing all chosen design elements: color palette, typography, buttons, inputs, drop-down lists, checkboxes, and so on along with their states (default, hover, disable, selected, etc.). With the GUI kit in place, we quickly finished designing the rest of the app’s pages.
When building the Django server for Meddy.co, our goal was to provide smooth appointment management across all hospitals and countries. Using the Django REST Framework, the server provides access to the application’s feature set.
For the application to operate properly, the dashboard needs to receive data from the Meddy.co API, which gives access to lists of registered doctors, hospitals, and receptionists. For this, we used CoreAPI, which receives data from the Meddy.co database, validates it, and then sends it back to the Django server after converting it to the proper format.
Because sending many requests to the main website takes quite a lot of time, we used a Redis cache to decrease the number of requests and make everything work faster.
By implementing the latest version of Angular, we made the application flexible and easy to extend. To make sure that each separate page would only be loaded on demand, we implemented Lazy Loading. For data control, we used Ngrx based on the Redux architecture, which uses RxJS to provide the full power of reactive programming.
Less and Bootstrap helped us manage styles. We were also able to customize the view using various packages such as FullCalendar, Datepicker, and Perfect-Scrollbar.
