System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: rapid-meditrack

1. Introduction

rapid-meditrack is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) designed to streamline healthcare management for both patients and doctors. Developed using the MERN stack, the application aims to provide a responsive, lightweight, and modern solution for appointment booking, health record tracking, and schedule management. This document outlines the system requirements for rapid-meditrack, incorporating the functionality pre-resolved by the API supervisor.

As Sarang Rai is based in India, the system will be tailored to local healthcare standards, timezone (IST), and currency (INR). The application will prioritize accessibility and ease of use for both user personas.

2. System Overview

rapid-meditrack is a dual-purpose healthcare management tool that serves two primary user personas: patients and doctors. The application will enable patients to book appointments, track health records, and receive notifications about upcoming consultations. Doctors will be able to manage their schedules, update patient records, and communicate with patients effectively.

The system will leverage the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) for its development, ensuring scalability, flexibility, and seamless integration of features. The API supervisor will pre-resolve options to optimize functionality and performance.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

The color scheme for rapid-meditrack will focus on creating a calming and professional aesthetic suitable for healthcare applications:

• Primary Colors:
  • Blue (#007BFF) for trust and reliability.
  • Green (#28A745) for health and vitality.
• Secondary Colors:
  • White (#FFFFFF) for cleanliness and simplicity.
  • Gray (#6C757D) for neutrality and balance.
• Accent Colors:
  • Orange (#FFC107) for notifications and highlights.

The theme will emphasize simplicity, clarity, and accessibility, ensuring that users can navigate the application effortlessly.

6. Signature Design Concept

The homepage of rapid-meditrack will feature an interactive health timeline.

Concept Details:

• Visual Design:
  The homepage will display a dynamic timeline that visually represents a user's health journey. Patients will see their past appointments, prescriptions, and upcoming consultations as clickable nodes on the timeline. Doctors will see their schedule and patient interactions similarly.

• Animations:
  Each node on the timeline will pulse gently to indicate interactivity. Hovering over a node will expand it to show detailed information, such as appointment time, doctor name, or prescription details.

• Transitions:
  Smooth scrolling and zooming effects will allow users to navigate through the timeline effortlessly. Clicking on a node will open a modal with detailed information.

• Micro-interactions:
  Notifications will appear as subtle pop-ups integrated into the timeline, ensuring users never miss an update.

This unique design will make the homepage visually engaging while providing immediate access to critical information.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The application must load within 2 seconds on standard devices.
• Scalability: The system should support up to 100,000 users concurrently.
• Security: All data must be encrypted using AES-256 standards.
• Accessibility: The application must comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.
• Localization: Support for Indian languages (e.g., Hindi, Marathi) and English.

8. Tech Stack
