COMP3900-9900 – 2019 T3 Project 5 Assistant for preparation for radiology examination Complex medical examinations require appropriate preparation of a person prior the visit to the clinic. Radiological imaging is comprised of several different modalities. The method of imaging dictates patient preparation. There are many web-portals that have published guides for patient preparation for radiological investigations or procedures. However, it is not very easy for a person to find the appropriate information. Having a personal medical assistant who can talk to you, ask you a few basic questions that the nurse and the doctor will ask prior the examination can help you to prepare the required information. The assistant can find and show you information on how to prepare for different procedures, which can also be of great help. It can also help you to find and book a time for a particular procedure. This project aims to develop a system that does three things: • Enable a user to get the necessary information on – what a patient needs to know for a certain examination – how to prepare, what questions will be asked and what to bring. • Help the user to find a radiologist and to book a time for an examination. The system should be able to search the existing radiologists and to find and book a slot. It also will notify the user when the provider confirms the appointment. • Enable a radiologist to add additional questions and information to the user prior confirming the booking A Python-based solution is preferred (but not required) using: 1. modern development frameworks, 2. cloud-based architectures, and 3. building a solution which leverages on existing services/APIs without creating a full dependency on the selected tools. It is essential that the system requirements are refined with the stakeholders and that the engineering of the system is thought through properly before building the individual components.
