Medical Dictionary Application Capstone Project

Introduction

Medical Dictionary Application is a capstone project design to serve as a source of information in terms of medical terminologies. The application will contain medical terms, abbreviations and its meaning. The application can be used by both iOS and Android users.

In the modern world, the need for accessible information is very important especially information that deals with our health.

What we need nowadays are accessible and portable source of information that deals with our health. The manual way in attaining information is not efficient and convenient.

Proposed Solution

The proposed solution for the problem is to develop an application that stores information about the definition or meaning of different medical terminologies. The application will help the end users put in their own hands the information they wish to know. This medical dictionary will be of great help for those who seek to gain knowledge. The application will also help medical students in their studies, they will have accessible source of information if they have difficulty in understanding some terms in their lessons.

The proposed capstone project is a mobile application that will be designed and developed in Kotlin or Java. For android application, Java is one of the preferred programming languages to used together with the Android Studio. Cross platform technologies such as Kotlin will allow developers to build an application in both Android and iOS.

Objectives of the Study

General Objective- the main goal of this capstone project is to design and develop an application that will store different medical terminologies and its meaning.

The specific objectives of the study are the following:

1. To develop an application that will serve as medical reference.
2. The application will serve as repository of accurate information about medical terms.
3. Output of the capstone project will have a simple interface and will be easy to use so that wide range of people can use it.
4. To provide convenience to the users in seeking medical information.
5. Develop a mobile application that can be used in an offline setting or without internet connection.
6. Application for both Android and iOS will be tested and installed on their specific platforms and devices to test the functionalities of the capstone project.
