| dc.description.abstract | The use of mobile phones and the
implementation of mobile applications and services have
progressed dramatically in the present society as they
have made the lives of people more efficient. Even then,
if the prescribed medications are difficult to obtain or
unavailable in some pharmacies, patients must visit
many different pharmacies to obtain them. This is mainly
because there is no proper network between the
existing pharmacies. It is hectic task to visit numerous
locations merely to find a certain medicine, especially in
the current economic crisis in the country with the
shortage of medicines and fuel. It would be more efficient
and effective, in terms of time and energy, if there was an
app that could discover nearby pharmacies where the
recommended medications are accessible. A mobile
pharmacy application is presented as a solution to the
problems that individuals experience daily. The goal of
this research is to find the major requirements for
implementing the application and designing it by
integrating those features. Following a thorough
literature analysis, it was able to identify the
drawbacks of the existing systems and determine the
appropriate technologies for implementing the
identified features. Through that Google Maps API and
Google Directions API were recognized as adequate for
geographical placing and tracking of pharmacies. These
technologies would improve the accuracy of the system's
ultimate output while also making it more usable for
consumers. Further, these outcomes can be used for the
future implementation purposes of the mobile
pharmacy application. | en_US |
