Abstract - This project aims to revolutionize hospital appointment management by integrating digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve doctor availability and appointment allocation. The system consists of three core modules: Hospital, Doctor, and Patient. Each module works collaboratively to optimize the scheduling process, reduce appointment wait times, and ensure efficient use of doctors' time. The primary objective is to minimize the number of appointments assigned to each doctor while ensuring that each patient receives adequate consultation time. By leveraging AI, the system dynamically allocates appointments, balancing the workload among doctors and reducing idle periods. Patients can access an intuitive, device-friendly interface to search for doctors based on their medical requirements, location, or specialization. This user-centric approach empowers patients to make informed decisions by providing comprehensive details about hospitals and doctors, including their qualifications, availability, and expertise. A standout feature of this system is its real-time appointment tracking capability. Patients can view up- to-date information on available slots, ensuring quick and hassle- free booking. Once an appointment is confirmed and approved by the selected doctor, both the patient and the doctor receive instant email notifications. The platform supports multi-device compatibility, ensuring users can schedule or modify appointments from their smartphones, tablets, or desktops. For doctors and hospitals, the system offers a streamlined interface to manage appointments, track availability, and update schedules, contributing to better resource utilization and operational  efficiency.  By  implementing  this  AI-powered

appointment management system, the project strives to enhance the overall healthcare experience. It aims to improve patient-doctor communication, reduce administrative burdens on medical staff, and ensure the optimal allocation of healthcare resources.
