ABSTRACT - In the olden days people wish to undergo treatment for any kind of diseases by consulting the elderly people and wish to prepare the required medicine using herbal plants and ayurvedic ingredients. Due to the advancement in the education and knowledge people started taking allopathy treatment by consulting the qualified doctors.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic the offline interaction between patient and doctor is also redcued. Patients are consulting to the nearby doctors or specialists over the phone and discuss probable for their illness.

This paper presents and discuss about the mobile application which is developed to interact with the software system and if necessary between the specialized doctor and patient. The proposed mobile application interacts with the patient and gathers the required data, analyzes it and generate the necessary prescription for the patient. The mobile application also generates the required reports which are necessary to the doctor, hospital and patient for future use.
