1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose: Virtual Medical Home steps in where doctors and medical facilities are just a dream. It helps connect rural areas, eliminate barriers and provide them medical assistance which is the fundamental right of every human being. It provides live online consultations, medicine prescriptions, 24x7 medical assistance and regular health alerts. It also maintains records of a registered patients health history and medical reports.

1.2. Scope:

Allows various system users to register. Provides essential medical services online to everyone. It hardly matters weather the user lives in city or a remotely located village. Allows user to make online appointments with a doctor, the system provides first aid tips and information in case of accidents or common diseases. The software also advices doctors on medical and treatment options and alternatives. Doctors can access the lab reports and medical history of patients (users). Web conferencing and instant messaging between user and doctor is possible

1.3. Acronyms:

J2EE: Java 2 Enterprise Edition is a programming platform part of the Java Platformfor developing and running distributed multitier architecture Java applications, based largely on modular software components running on an application server. DB2: DB2 Database is the database management system that delivers a flexible and cost effective, database platform to build robust on demand business applications.

1.4. References: IEEE SRS Format Problem Definition (Provided by IBM) 1.5. Document Overview: The remainder of this document is two sections, the first providing a full description of the project.

Overall Description will describe major components of the system, interconnection and external interfaces. It lists all the functions performed by the system. Specific Requirements will describe the functions of actors, their role in the system and constraints. This section concerns details of each of the system functions and actions in full for the software developers assistance.

These two sections are cross-referenced by topic; to increase understanding by both groups involved.

2. Overall Description:
The Virtual Medical Home encompasses numerous files and information from the Database, as well as files on the server system. This system will be completely web-based, linking to the remote web server from a standard web browser. An Internet connection is necessary to access the system.

2.1. Product Perspective: This part of the SRS puts the product into perspective with other related products. A block diagram showing the major components of the Virtual Medical Home system, interconnections, and external interfaces is given below:

The web pages are present to provide the user interface on customer client side. Communication between customer and server is provided through HTTP/HTTPS protocols. The Client Software is to provide the user interface on system user client side and for this TCP/IP protocols are used. On the server side web server is for EJB and database server is for storing the information.

Medical Suggestion section: The medical suggestion section is the key section of Virtual Medical Home. In this we will provide the user a Virtual Medical Hometor in which user will input his problems and the Virtual Medical Home will suggest him/her drugs as per the given symptoms. It is only a suggestion and not for too high level diseases. The Virtual Medical Home database will be updated regularly by the administrator as per the suggestion by the doctors. Doctors can access the lab reports and medical history of patients (users) in this section. User can also get the contact details of the registered doctors and the approximate details of the medical tests.

2.3.User Characteristics: Every user should be comfortable of working with computer and net browsing. The user must have basic knowledge of English too. 2.4. Constraints: GUI is only in English. Login and password is used for identification of user. Limited to HTTP/HTTPS. Licensed Doctors are only allowed to register. While doing the online payment or donation fill only the required details. The operating system should be of Windows. Its good to use Windows XP and its further enhancements windows. 2.5. Assumptions and Dependencies: The details related to the accessing the software, customer details, payment and other facilities are provided only after the registration. Administrator is created in the system already. Roles and tasks are predefined. Users have to fill only the required details.

3.2. Supplementary Requirements: Have hours of operation that are 24 x 7 - Because system can be an automated process, so it can stay open for 24 hours a day. If the base is now the entire world, staying open 24 hours a day becomes critical. System is required to be available 24X7 so UPS support must be on server site for at least 8 hours in case of power failure. System will remain inaccessible to users at 2:00 to 4:00 am for backup and maintenance purpose. Make the existing Web site more dynamic in nature - Many early Web implementations consisted of static HTML pages. This becomes very difficult to manage if the number of pages gets too large. An effective system should be largely dynamic taking advantage of technology that automates this process rather than relying on manual processes. Application should serve dynamic user based customized web pages to its clients from server. Tie the existing Web site into existing enterprise systems Any existing Web site that relies on the manual duplication of data from another system is one that can be improved. Most of the business data in the world today exists in enterprise servers that can be connected to the Web servers to make this process far more effective. Provide good performance and the ability to scale the server The Web Application Server should provide good performance and the ability to manage performance with techniques, such as support for caching, clustering, and load balancing.
