Abstract
The study focuses on the design and development of an android based medical specialist finder application with appointment setting.

It enables the user to set appointments and schedules to the chosen specialists and clinics. A chat interface is provided in the system where patient and medical specialist can communicate and frequently asked questions are shown and automatically answered by the application via bot. E-prescription and E-medical certificate can also be issued to the patients in an image format. The application was tested in terms of the functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability using test cases.
