Abstract
In the Covid-19 pandemic, people have been very concerned about the safety and are avoiding crowded places like hospitals. An online telemedicine web-based technology can help to overcome this situation. This paper presents an online telemedicine system that helps to promote collaboration between doctors, hospitals, and patients. The system allows doctors to serve patients from remote areas. The system also allows both doctors and patients to communicate through video calls or text messages. Patients using the system can store information about their health, search for doctors, and consult medical professionals using text messages and video calls. Doctors can also register to serve patients, but they must ensure authenticity through registration. Doctors can write blogs, provide prescriptions, and can view the medical history of the patient. Hospitals can assign doctors in the respective departments. The system is tested in a lab environment. The system is fast and reliable with a user-friendly interface, enhancing telemedicine services countrywide for people with online access.
