Abstract: In the present scenario the health problems are increasing proportionally to the busy work schedule of the doctors. So mostly there is a conflict of free time of the doctors and the patients. Hence an easy and a steadfast system is required in the current world where health can be given equal priority as work and the doctors are made easily accessible to the patients and which also reduces the time spent for getting and providing a medical appointment. Our paper proposes a method in order to meet up and overcome the above mentioned problems. Mobile apps have found their way into every individual’s life and has become a part of it. So we developed a mobile health care system to fix appointments with doctors and for the doctors to maintain their patient’s database in a matter of few touches. The doctors can register and maintain their patient’s database and the patients can access any doctor from any place and fix an appointment. GPS connectivity is linked with the application to find the list of doctors nearby the location at emergencies or travel and prescriptions are sent from the one they choose, in case of direct visit, appointment to the Doctors are made by filtering the list for the needed specification or complaint. Doctors also can view their patient lists and schedule their tasks. An additional feature is that reminders are added at the time of prescriptions recording. Thus the Application acts as a portal facilitating people in their busy schedule to care their health without wasting their time
