Abstract - Reducing patient wait times and increasing healthcare accessibility depend on effective medical scheduling. Issues with traditional systems include frequent cancellations, rescheduling, and limited doctor availability. Furthermore, seamless patient care is hampered by the lack of integration between important healthcare services, such as medical stores, AI-driven diagnostics, ambulance dispatch, blood donation tracking, and customized wellness plans. With an emphasis on using Flutter and Firebase to improve productivity, security, and patient engagement, this study examines AI-driven developments in medical scheduling and integrated healthcare solutions. It suggests predictive scheduling, telehealth integration, and AI-driven wellness tactics while pointing out research gaps in automation, interoperability, and personalized healthcare. Patient management, operational efficiency, and healthcare quality can all be enhanced by a single healthcare system.
