Role-Based Appointment Scheduling Platform for Clinics and Hospitals
Clinics and hospitals still coordinate thousands of appointments through phone calls and spreadsheets, which leads to double-bookings, missed reminders, and frustrated front-desk staff. Patients want to book and reschedule visits on their own, doctors need a reliable view of their day, and administrators need control over who can see and change what. This project tackles that coordination problem with a production-style scheduling system built the way real engineering teams build it.
The intern designs and implements a Spring Boot backend exposing RESTful APIs for registration, appointment booking, rescheduling, and cancellation, with JWT-based authentication and role-based access control separating patient, doctor, and admin capabilities. Spring Data JPA manages persistence in MySQL, asynchronous background workers dispatch appointment reminders and status notifications, and a layered error-handling strategy returns consistent, meaningful API responses. A React frontend provides separate dashboards for patients and doctors, and the whole system is built with Maven and packaged with Docker for repeatable deployment.
Completing the project demonstrates the ability to design secure multi-role APIs, model relational healthcare data, run background processing, and ship a containerized full-stack application end to end.
