Medbook

Medbook is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline the process of booking medical appointments, managing doctor and patient profiles, facilitating real-time consultations, and handling secure payments. The project is built using a modern tech stack to ensure a seamless and efficient user experience.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React.js (hosted on Netlify)
• Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL-based BaaS)
• Database: SQLite (for local development) → Supabase (production)
• Authentication: Supabase Auth (JWT-based)
• Payment Gateway: Razorpay
• Real-time Features: Supabase Realtime (WebSockets)

Features

Authentication & User Management

• Signup & Login: JWT-based Supabase Auth
  • supabase.auth.signUp(): User registration
  • supabase.auth.signInWithPassword(): User login
  • supabase.auth.signOut(): Logout

Doctor & Patient Profile Management

• Users Table: Stores user details (patients & doctors)
• Doctors Table: Stores doctor profiles & availability
• Appointments Table: Stores booking details

Booking System

• Book Appointment: supabase.from('appointments').insert({...})
• Fetch Appointments: supabase.from('appointments').select('*')
• Cancel Appointment: supabase.from('appointments').delete().eq('id', appointment_id)

Payment Integration

• Generate Payment Link: /api/payment/create
• Verify Transaction: /api/payment/verify
• Process Refund: /api/payment/refund/:id

Real-time Chat & Consultation

• Live Chat: supabase.channel('chat').on('INSERT', callback).subscribe()
• Video Consultation: WebRTC API

Deployment & Hosting

• Frontend: Netlify
• Backend: Supabase Functions & DB
• Database: SQLite (for local development), PostgreSQL (via Supabase in production)
