Abstract
Healthcare decision support framework(HDSF), a comprehensive web application framework designed to revolutionize healthcare accessibility and efficiency. HDSF integrates various facilities including online appointment booking, virtual doctor consultations, symptom detection, detailed prescription management, home nursing appointment scheduling, and updates on local health camps with Google Maps integration for navigation. The application employs a robust architecture with a front end developed using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap, while the back-end leverages Java and Java Servlet technologies. Data management is facilitated by MySQL, and the application is developed within the Eclipse IDE and XAMPP environment. Additionally, HDSF incorporates advanced algorithms such as Apriori for association rule learning and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) for classification tasks, enhancing its diagnostic and recommendation capabilities. This paper details the development process, system architecture, and algorithmic implementations, highlighting HDSF's potential to improve patient care and streamline healthcare services.
