Medical Booking System

The Problem

The client needed a system to centrally manage the medicals for all employees to ensure each employee attended a regular medical. They also need to report on employees whose medicals were coming up and those for whom a medical was due.​​​​

​​The S​olution

Sintel developed a system that allowed the medical staff to create slots for medicals and health campaigns and which allowed employees to book their medical. The system provided employees with an intuitive interface that allowed them to browse through the available slots and book a slot that suited them. Employees are actively encouraged to book their own medicals with a recurring reminder a number of weeks before their medical is due. Email notifications were also used to confirm the booking and optionally require manager approval for the booking.
