ANDROID INDOOR LOCATION APPLICATION USING BEACON FOR HOSPITAL

Abstract

Management enteiprise systems are rapidly making their way into businesses and organizations as the use of digital media increases. More and more functions are now being performed online rather than through physical interactions such as online payments, deliveries, bookings etc. As the world increasing moves towards digital solutions to automate manual, everyday tasks, the healthcare sector is still a laggard where scope to improve remains high. The objective of this project is to develop a holistic healthcare management solution that allows its users to leverage the digital space by allowing ease ofonline bookings, monitoring and tracking ofmedical records, convenience of medical database creation for each patient, downloading electronic reports and support in indoor hospital navigation. The report explores how the application will be developed, what modules it would consist of and how each module will interact. It describes how the hospital management, which is our super user, will be able to interact with profiles of doctors and patients. How patients can perform various functions using their own profiles and how doctors will be able to obtain results from patients. Lastly, this application will also have the feature ofan indoor navigation system, which will operate through a hardware module called ‘Beacon’. The report concludes with the results obtained after the implementation and what future functionalities can be inbuilt into the application as it moves to later phases or expands.
