Abstract

Virtual Clinic is a web based software application, where patients can consult with physicians, psychologists, therapists, and other health professionals. No physical presence of the patient is required in the virtual clinic. It is much better during the examination if the disease does not require it as the obligatory diagnostic prerequisite. The web-based VC has been designed for functional and nonfunctional purposes and specifications. These criteria have been met through interviews that have semi structured and open-ended questions on disease evaluation by medical practitioners. Finished questions concerning the evaluation by the experience of the disease. And it’s a very open source application that any user can link a shared issue to a conference. This virtual clinic was used during lockdown due to Covid-19. There have been many lockdowns in countries all over the world. This was the only option during the pandemic. In developing the application, we were particularly concerned about the provision of services and the reliable, secure, and efficient storage of data. Here, the non-functional and functional requirements are proposed along with such clinic’s design. Such requirements were collected depending on the input that medical practitioners have specified via interviews that had open ended and semi structured questions related to assessment of disease according to their experience.
