Overview

MedMobile is an Android application aimed at improving the interaction between doctors and patients. Through this app, patients can manage their medical appointments and doctors can keep track of their schedules. The application integrates Firebase for authentication, database storage, and media hosting.

Technologies

• Firebase Auth
• Firebase Firestore
• Firebase Storage
• Glide
• Jsoup

Features

User Authentication

• Utilizes Firebase Authentication for user sign-up and login.

User Profiles

• There are two types of user profiles: Patient Profile and Doctor Profile.

• Allows users to create and update their profiles including:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Age
  • Password
  • Profile Picture (for this, the app requests permission to access the phone's gallery)

• Profile pictures are stored in Firebase Storage, and their URLs are saved in the Firestore database.

• Uses Glide to display profile images efficiently.

data class PatientData(
    var UID: String? = null,
    var first: String? = null,
    var last: String? = null,
    var age: String? = null,
    var email: String? = null,
    var password: String? = null,
    var image: String? = null,

• image: URL of the doctor's profile image stored in Firebase Storage.

Doctor Profile

Data Model:

data class DoctorData(
    var UID: String? = null,
    var first: String? = null,
    var last: String? = null,
    var age: String? = null,
    var field: String? = null,
    var email: String? = null,
    var password: String? = null,
    var image: String? = null,

Appointments

Appointments

• Users can schedule appointments using customized Date and Time pickers:

  • No appointment can be made for a date earlier than today.
  • Appointments can be scheduled for a maximum of 20 days ahead.
  • Time slots are available between 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in 15-minute intervals.

• Appointments are stored in two different collections in Firestore for easy retrieval:

  • Under the patient's email for all their appointments.
  • Under the doctor's email for all the doctor’s appointments.

• Users can view their appointments within the app.

• Users can long-press an appointment to cancel it. When an appointment is canceled by the doctor, it is also removed from the patient's schedule. Same for the patient aswell. When patient canceled an appointment, it is also removed from the doctor's schedule.

Appointment Data Model:

data class AppointmentData(
    val id : String? = null,
    val doctorEmail : String? = null,
    val patientEmail : String? = null,
    val patientName : String? = null,
    val patientImg : String? = null,
    val doctorName : String? = null,
    val doctorImg : String? = null,
    val note : String? = null,

Appointments are stored in Firestore under two different collections for easy retrieval:
