Need some Advil? You can use our web search feature to find out which of our recommended stores have the cheapest option. We provide some options for you to choose from but you can search anything you might need in our search bar and choose which store you want to view.
Email Doctor
If you are concerned about your possible diagnosis, or just want some more clear answers, PocketDoc formats each user’s profile information and most recent diagnosis into an email that you can send to a medical professional.
Point On Body
PocketDoc provides its users with a photo of a human body where they can select where they would like to diagnose. They will be asked specific questions to try to diagnose the user’s problem.
User Profile
Save important information to your profile to be updated at any time. Users can provide their name, age, sex, and birthday then hit the save button and their information will be there every time they log back in.
Location Services
Users can search stores in their city or choose from the stores provided to find out what is nearby and plan out their trip for medical supplies.
Google Ad Mob
PocketDoc features an ad banner along the bottom of the screen so users aren’t required to pay for our features. Our ads are not distracting or annoying, and never take up your screen.
Information Data Base
PocketDoc currently uses predefined information to provide users with accurate and helpful diagnoses. However, the system is designed to be easily integrated with any medical information database in the future, ensuring scalability and adaptability as new data becomes available.
Room Database
PocketDoc uses Room Database to securely store all user information locally on their devices. This ensures fast access to data, even without an internet connection, while keeping user profiles and health details private and easily manageable.
How It's Made
Android Studio
PocketDoc is developed using Android Studio, which provided the tools needed to create a reliable and efficient Android app. It allowed us to design the interface, implement essential features, and ensure the app performs smoothly across Android devices.
Room Database
Room is a persistence library for Android that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite, making it easier to manage and store data locally. It simplifies database operations, ensuring data is stored securely and efficiently. Room is easily integrated into PocketDoc, allowing for seamless storage of user information on their devices while maintaining performance and scalability.
Future Enhancements
In the future, we plan to update PocketDoc by improving our Google Maps search features to use more of the Google Maps API to make searching much easier. We also plan to change our web search feature to open a web view inside the app so users don’t have to leave the app when searching. We would also like to improve our user authentication on account creation and the input validation in changing profile information so users don’t need to worry about entering the wrong information.
