DocConnect - A Telemedicine Application

This paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of a cloud-integrated telemedicine application built using a microservices architecture to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of remote healthcare delivery. Leveraging the MEVN stack—MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js—alongside cloud services, the system provides patients with streamlined access to healthcare professionals through a responsive, secure, and scalable platform. Key features of the application include appointment scheduling, real-time video consultations, electronic health record (EHR) management, and robust data security mechanisms. These functionalities aim to address pressing challenges in the telemedicine domain, particularly in terms of accessibility, data privacy, and system scalability. The paper outlines the background and significance of the project in the context of the evolving digital healthcare landscape, followed by a comprehensive review of existing solutions and their limitations. A detailed discussion of the system’s architecture emphasizes its modularity and scalability through the use of cloud-native components. Implementation and methodology sections highlight the integration of microservices, containerization, and API-based communication. Testing and evaluation demonstrate the system’s performance, usability, and security through qualitative and quantitative analyses. The results underscore the application's reliability and effectiveness in delivering remote healthcare services.
