Transforming Healthcare Access with MERN-Driven Appointment Booking and Video Conferencing through Dr.Consult

Abstract This research describes "Dr. Consult", a MERN-stack web application developed to improve access to healthcare through online appointment scheduling and secure video appointments. The solution connects patients with healthcare providers on teleconsultation and e-Records with real-time services such as appointments and teleconsultation. It will be developed in MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js, which allows the project to provide a scalable, secure, and user-centered experience that promises the potential to change workflows in traditional healthcare. The paper explores the system architectures, compares it to previous models, and outline some of the project's deployment, scalability, and broader social factors.
