Online Hospital Location System Using
Google Maps (API)
ABSTRACT
It is estimated that an average human being will fall ill more than three times
every year. People are always looking for different hospitals to solve their
health challenges and they don’t know the directions and the route to be
followed to get to this places. Without knowing the right routes and directions,
this may cause ill persons to get to the wrong way, which might lead to death,
in cases of emergency. To avoid this situation, this research is to provide an
online hospital location system, developed to help users to get the right
directions to different health centers. This paper introduces an application
that can be easily accessed, which is implemented to provide the routes,
directions, traffic update and see other hospital users reviews about the
hospitals using Google map. The proposed system additionally presents
automated navigation activities, with providing directions to users with the
optimal path between start point and destination and ascertaining the driving
duration with distance. Google Maps APIs, Google Direction APIs, PHP, JSON
and MySQL have been implemented and utilized in this system to provide
solutions. This application uses the client/server architecture, the users serve
as the client and the combination of PHP and MySQL database serve as a
server.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the most significant features of modern smartphones are Location
Based Services (LBS). Location apps on smartphone can be effectively used
and recognized because of a special internally equipped chip that support
the Global Positioning System (GPS). Using GPS on our smartphones
together with Google map can assist users to easily find nearby bookshops,
restaurants, bus-stops, cinema etc. Vast majority of people today utilize
mobile phone to explore and navigate easily around cities. Many of these
users are using this location applications to find directions, places or other
information that are based on the current location. The popularity for this
type of smartphone applications (LBS) has led to the development of an
application in this field to help hospitals and sick patients. A large portion
of this free software do not meet the needs of the users in term of finding
hospitals and getting quick routes in case of emergency with the patients.
These applications are either for navigation purposes, or to find nearby
places or display locations on a map. Furthermore, online map guide
applications do not bolster the capacity to allow users add or erase a
specified location. This paper presents an automated method to build an
online hospital location system interactive navigation map dependent on
Google map.

This can be done by utilizing a concentrated database MySQL that exist on

a server and users applications (in smartphones).

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

It is estimated that an average human being will fall ill more than three
times every year. People are always looking for different hospitals to solve
their health challenges and they don’t know the directions and the route to
be followed to get to this places. Without knowing the right routes and
directions, this may cause ill persons to get to the wrong way. To avoid this
situation, this research is to provide an online hospital location system,
developed to help users to get the right directions to different health
centers.

AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main aim of the research is to provide an online hospital location system,
developed to help users to get the right directions to different health centers
using Google maps, with the following objective:
Provide a system that users can access whenever they need to find a hospital
in a new city.
Reduce death rate in cases of emergency, hospitals can be easily found using
the system.
Find hospital routes and estimated arrival time with the system.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the research is focused on designing a system to assist sick
patients and other users to easily find hospitals and other health facilities, and
the system will solve the challenges of people going to the wrong hospital,
since each hospital on the system will have previous users’ reviews and
recommendations.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The online hospital system will be a web based system and can only be
accessed with internet connection, users with poor or no internet connection
cannot use the platform recommendations.

DEFINTION OF TERMS
Hospital: An institution that is built, staffed, and equipped for the diagnosis
of disease; for the treatment, both medical and surgical, of the sick and the
injured; and for their housing during this process.

Google Maps: Google Maps is a web mapping service developed by Google.

It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive
panoramic views of streets, real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for
traveling by foot, car, bicycle and air, or public transportation.
 Background: The Hospital Real-time Location Systems (HRTLS), deal with
monitoring the patients, medical

staff and valuable medical equipment in emergency situations. Therefore,

the study aimed to propose Hospital

Real-Time Location Systems based on the novel technologies in Iran.

 Methods: In this narrative-review, the articles and official reports on HRTLS,
were gathered and analyzed

from related textbooks and indexing sites with the defined keywords in
English or Persian. The search of data-

bases such as IDTechEx, IEEE, PubMed Central, Science Direct,

EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Scopus, Web
 of Science, Elsevier journals, WHO publications and Google Scholar
was performed to reconfirm the efficien-

cy of HRTLS from 2006 to 2017.

Results: Various technologies have been used in the current

systems, which have led to the reduced error rate,

costs and increased speed of providing the healthcare services.

Applications of these systems include tracking

of patient’s, medical staff and valuable medical assets. Besides,

achieving the patient & staff satisfaction is

among other basic applications of these Systems. The accurate

data exchange and processes control are con-

sidered as positive aspects of this technology.

Conclusion: HRTLS has great importance in healthcare systems and

its efficiency in medical centers is relia-

ble; hence, it seems necessary to determine the organization’s

requirements, apply novel technologies such as
 cloud computing and Internet of things, and integrate them to get
access to maximum advantages in Iranian

healthcare centers.

nel (2). Moreover, the lack of sufficient supervi-

sory tools, which can instantly monitor the loca-

tion of patients, physicians, medical staff, and

medical assets and provide them for the hospital

managers, has resulted in the loss of numerous

opportunities (3). Today, development of the

newly emerging intelligence systems considerably

influences different aspects of life, one of the

fields of health. The position of health in future

perspective of the countries necessitates the hos-

pitals to exploit advanced information technolo-

gies to automate the process (4). The most im-

portant issue in a hospital is the real-time tracking

of physical position of the entities; therefore, it is

essential to design and implement an appropriate

Hospital Real-time Location Systems (HRTLS)

for healthcare centers (5).

"HRTLS, an application based on ubiquitous

computing, is recognized that will increase the

visibility and operational efficiency of clinical and

administrative workflows in the healthcare set-

ting. Implementing an RTLS-based system in a

hospital is an outstanding technology which can
