29. Financials- Sales projections- Costs incurred

30. Future Goals
● Make the application more secure
● Include more doctors and nurses
● Collaborate with online pharmaceutical websites for delivery of medicines.
● Refine search results based on feedback received by patients.
● Continually update the model to include multiple Indian languages

31. Recommendations:
● The waiting time should be shortened , as many patients have to wait for hours, even a day or two
for their turn.
● Patients should be well informed about the availability of the doctor, for that day and the week as
well, so that they have a clear idea about when to make an appointment.
● The insurance claim and bills take a lot of time to clear, to which the customer find it even more
difficult to clear their dues.
● Hospitals should partner with insurance companies, to provide affordable health insurance to
patients.
