3. © Copyright AUST 2011 - Department of Computer Science Health care is one of the most important components in your life, because disease or illness can really mean a down turn in your life. Periodical medical checkups are important because they discover illnesses in an early stage. A regular medical checkup shows out all the symptoms that might result in a disease. Nowadays, doctors’ fees and medical checkups are becoming too expensive, so that people are visiting doctors only when they are affected by hard diseases. Overview

4. © Copyright AUST 2011 - Department of Computer ScienceOverview Periodical medical checkup is too expensive and thus people rarely do checkups. People have no ideas concerning which doctor or hospital is good or not and which one is expansive, or which doctor is well rated or not. People do not know where to go in case of illness or disease ( which hospital, which doctor) People don’t know which doctor is cheap and which doctor is good and which one is not.

5. © Copyright AUST 2011 - Department of Computer ScienceOverview Advantagesdisadvantages Got over one million ratings already Only in US and Canada It is up since 2004Rating not divided into categories RateMDs.com is a website to find and rate doctors and dentists so other users can view them and benefit from their opinion.

6. © Copyright AUST 2011 - Department of Computer ScienceOverview Advantagesdisadvantages Can search for doctors by specialty Only in US and Canada Can specify to search only for doctors who are rated Rating not divided into categories Drscore is another website that people can go and rate doctors so doctors can be improve their performance or lower their rates depending on the overall ratings they get from the many patients they get, and this way the health care field will be getting better, and patients will be happier with their results, and paying lesser bills.

7. © Copyright AUST 2011 - Department of Computer ScienceOverview Our proposed solution is to make a stand alone application to rate doctors after entering their specified information such as, name, last name, gender, specialty, clinic address and hospital that he or she works in. Patients can download the application and enter the name and info about their doctor, then rate them, and the data will be stored in a database shared by all users. Users can also rate specific hospitals, after inserting their information, for patients who are interested in hospitals only in a specific area, or in hospitals that have a high level of cleanness as an example. People who only need to check doctors ratings, can go straight to search section, and search for doctors by their names to see their ratings. Or search for all doctors of certain specialty, to find doctors of high rating and contact them.

8. © Copyright AUST 2011 - Department of Computer Science Our future work: A chat room will be implemented in the application so all online users can talk together in real time, asking about health doctors and hospitals related issues. A medical history feature will be added to the project so the user can look back to previous symptoms an their treatments, and which could help doctors heal them. Overview
