Our project is a doctor recommendation system. In this project we aim to provide an online health service to people to make health services easy, effective and better for them. To find a specialized, diagnosis correct, skill superior, outstanding reputation, practical experience, fee economical and at the same time easily accessible doctor is very important and needed for patients but it is not an easy job. Today most recommendation applications are not as much intelligent and up to date as needed for users to suggest and help them in finding appropriate doctor that matches with the user requirement, because inadequacy of doctor’s profiles, multiplicity of user symptoms, patient’s medical history and information mismatch have a great impact to make it difficult for such recommendation applications. To make a personalized recommendation application for providing useful and effective medical services we need user reviews from online communities and doctor’s up to date information from emerging medical databases. We describe an integrated recommendation application in this project to find the best, specialized, good reputation and nearest doctor by considering the user requirements including their illness symptoms, accessibility and the fee. Three models are proposed for this recommendation application. First model is the matching model which suggests the matching between user’s requirement and doctor’s profiles intelligently and accurately. Second model is the quality model which is used to measure the doctor speciality, experiences and consider the user’s opinions, ratings and reviews for doctors to help new users in finding a doctor. This model is build by doing the sentiment analysis of comments about doctors to generate a new rating as well as considering the rating given by previous users. Third model is the finding model which uses GPS service to find the nearest and easily accessible doctor. This model is build by calculating the distance between the user location and the doctor location. Finally, a mobile based application is developed to demonstrate the functionality of the results of these three models.
