Brief Description Of Project:

Free-Time booking is a website that allows booking of appointments for our clients with their patients in a smooth and efficient manner. Patient can easily book an appointment with any clinic from list of available clinics and choose the practitioner (massage therapist/chiropractors/physiotherapist) of their choice as well as service of their choice. Patients can choose to create their own account which will give them access to their own personal dashboard where they can manage all of their appointments efficiently, cancel them if required, book new appointments and communicate with theIr practitioners. Free-Time will allow our clients to buy one our packages: Basic, Plus or Premium; which will allow them limited number of patients and staff members as per selected plan. Each staff member can login into their personal dashboard where they will have all the details regarding schedule and availability of whole day, appointment history and upcoming appointments, create or cancel appointments, calendar to view and manage their all appointment using daily, weekly and monthly view, graphical view of performance by an employee and they can easily manage their patients, patient-profile, can create smart chart to quickly and efficiently manage patient-profile and will be able to communicate and share pictures and videos with the patients.

Project Objective:

  • Developing an online scheduling system which can schedule appointments evenly and precisely with the help of an online forms and cancel those whenever required and send notifications for it to both the parties and in addition send them reminder prior to the appointment time.
  • The system should also be able to accept online payments, generate invoice and bills along with keeping track of all the business expenses.
  • Feature of communication between client and customer should also be present and notify if there are any new messages available.
  • Should have a customer help and support page where they can get any help needed.

Project Innovation:

Free-Time is a unique project in its own way and we thank Jessica (Sponsor) for bringing us this great opportunity which required a lot of critical and innovative thinking by team TechSters to achieve project goals. Free-Time brings unique features like booking appointment from multiple clinics under the same page; which even allows to choose a staff member of your choice from that clinic for booking an appointment. Another great feature offered by Free-Time for the staff members is the ability to create smart charts for customer profiling using which staff members would be able to create customer profile in fast and an efficient manner with the help of just few clicks.


Challenges & Solutions:

Throughout the completion of the project our team has faced a great deal of challenges to overcome which team has used strategic thinking and innovative ideas to overcome those challenges to achieve project goals. One of which was Smart-Charting; sponsor wanted to have a system through which a therapist can create a customer profile quickly and efficiently to overcome this challenge team came up with a innovative idea to add some pre-selected custom fields (ranges from 0-5 , drop down selection options, checkboxes) under patient profile where therapist  can create quick-profile of patients with the help of just few clicks. For example, if a patient is suffering from a knee injury and is not able to walk much so to create quick profile therapist can just click on check box where it says ´knee injury’, therapist can easily select a number from the range of 0-5 to indicate how much patient is able to walk (0 being none to 5 being highest) and the can also select from drop down to see changes (i.e. they can choose options like no change, increasing or decreasing to record changes in walking pattern of patient)


Project Results or Progress:

As a result of hard work and dedication of team TechSters towards achieving project goals we were able to create a website which allows customers to book and efficiently manage all their appointments through their dashboard where they can also communicate with their therapist and share pictures and videos too. Free-Time also gives ability to staff members to create smart-charts for efficiently creating customer profiles and also allows to create and share picture and videos as charts with the patients along with features like performance tracking, business income info, easily managing all the appointments and effectively managing schedules of the staff members.


Lessons Learned:

Free-Time has been a great opportunity for us to grow potentially as a team and develop technical and managerial skills through out the development of this project and given us experience of what it would be like to work in a professional environment. Through out development of the project we have gained many technical skills from front-end development skills like HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PYHTON and MySQL for database management to using PHP for back-end and server management along with efficiently managing and fulfilling all the tasks in the given deadline, working in a team and having shared vision and strategic thinking to achieve project goals.
