Development of a multi-feature web-based physiotherapy service system

Abstract

Physiotherapy is important to people with arthritis, and physiotherapists help them to resume or continue active, independent lives at home and work. Physiotherapy addresses many pain categories; however, this important treatment is still overlooked in Bangladesh, where many people suffer from physical pain. This study presents a multi-feature web-based physiotherapy application. A user can register as a doctor or patient via email or phone using the web application. A therapist’s information is verified manually by a system administrator. Using the application, patients can select a variety of features for treatment. Patients can watch physiotherapy video tutorials, find a physiotherapy clinic within 5 km, consult with a physiotherapist on a video call, and make appointments for a therapist to provide service in their homes.
