2.11 JSON Web Token
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-
contained way to transmit information between parties as a JSON object. It's commonly used
for authentication and authorization in web applications.
 JWT 1.0 (2010): The initial version of JWT was introduced focusing on securely
transmitting information between parties.
 JWT 1.1 (2011): This version introduced clarifications and updates to the original
specification.
 JWT 1.5 (2014): JWT version 1.5 included additional security considerations and
recommendations.
 RFC 7519 (2015): JWT became an official Internet standard with the publication of
RFC 7519.
 JWT uses a compact format for transmitting data, making it efficient for sending
information in HTTP headers.
 JWTs can contain all necessary information within the token itself, reducing the need
for additional server-side storage.
 JWTs are commonly used for user authentication, allowing systems to verify the identity
of users.
 JWTs can carry authorization claims, determining what actions a user is allowed to
perform.
 Since all necessary information is in the token, JWTs promote stateless communication
between clients and servers.
2.11.3 Application:
In the CareSync project, JSON Web Tokens will be employed for user authentication and
authorization. When a user logs in, the server will issue a JWT containing relevant user
information and permissions. This token will be sent with each subsequent request, allowing
the server to validate the user's identity and access rights. JSON Web Tokens offer a secure and
efficient way to handle user sessions and access control, contributing to a seamless user
experience within the CareSync application.

Requirements and Analysis
3.1 Problem Definition
In this essential section, we embark on a deep exploration of the complex challenges that have
motivated the creation of the CareSync project. It is crucial to establish a clear and
comprehensive understanding of the healthcare landscape that this project seeks to transform.
3.1.1 Problem Statement:
The healthcare system in our nation, as well as many other countries, has an obvious deficiency
that has an immediate effect on both patients and healthcare practitioners. A unified, patient-
centric software system that completely maintains a patient's medical history and past medical
condition details is lacking in the current healthcare environment. A number of critical
difficulties have arisen as a result of the lack of a centralised medical record system. Some of
them are as follow:
 Inadequate Medical Investigation
 Inefficient Treatment Progression
 Deteriorating Patient Conditions
3.1.2 Problem Definition:
The first step in our search for a solution is a thorough analysis of the details that make up the
larger issue. We dissect the healthcare problem into its fundamental parts, taking into account
the numerous contributing aspects and how they interact. We are better able to create a thorough
solution if we comprehend all aspects of the issue.
3.1.2.1 Inadequate Medical Investigation:
Patients frequently experience fragmented medical investigations in the absence of a single, full
medical record. Gaps in diagnosis and therapy are the result of this fragmented strategy. The
inability of medical practitioners to make informed decisions which frequently leads to
inadequate or redundant tests is hampered by the lack of a central repository for medical
histories.
3.1.2.2 Inefficient Treatment Progression:
There is no seamless continuity of care when patients seek treatment from numerous healthcare
providers or experts since there is no centralised patient record. Often, doctors are forced to
write prescriptions for drugs and treatments without having complete access to the patient's
whole medical file. This frequently leads to a sequential process that starts with low-intensity
therapies and progresses to moderate, then high-intensity ones. When a patient changes
15
healthcare providers, the treatment process frequently restarts at the beginning, resulting in
ineffective and time-consuming care.
3.1.2.3 Deteriorating Patient Conditions:
These problems add up to a longer course of treatment, which worsens the health of the patients.
Treatments that are postponed or repeated may make health problems worse, resulting in more
serious medical illnesses and, occasionally, preventable complications.
3.1.3 Existing System
In the current healthcare landscape, patient medical records are primarily stored within
individual healthcare institutions, limiting access to these records solely within the confines of
a specific hospital or healthcare organization. This fragmentation leads to isolated healthcare
data, with each hospital maintaining its own electronic health records (EHRs) and electronic
medical records (EMRs). While some existing systems do offer features for appointment
scheduling within the same healthcare organization, they often remain confined to the premises
of that institution. As a result, when patients seek care from different healthcare providers or
across various hospitals, healthcare professionals frequently lack access to the patient's
complete medical history. This fragmentation can lead to fragmented care, potential
misdiagnoses, and inefficient treatment paths.
3.1.4 Proposed System
In contrast, the CareSync project envisions a healthcare paradigm shift. It aims to dismantle
these data silos, allowing for secure and standardized access to medical records across multiple
hospitals and among diverse healthcare providers. Under this proposed system, patient data will
be centralized, creating comprehensive electronic health records (EHRs) that can be accessed
seamlessly across various healthcare institutions. Furthermore, the CareSync system will
introduce advanced appointment scheduling features that transcend the boundaries of individual
healthcare organizations. This means patients can easily schedule appointments with different
healthcare providers and hospitals within a unified system. By providing access to complete
patient histories, the CareSync system will promote efficiency and coordination in healthcare
delivery, empowering healthcare professionals to make well-informed decisions, reducing
redundancy, and ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care. The CareSync project
represents a pivotal shift toward a networked healthcare ecosystem, addressing the pressing
need for cross-institutional data sharing and significantly improving healthcare collaboration
and delivery, regardless of where patients seek treatment.

3.3 Planning and Scheduling
The successful execution of any project centres on careful planning and scheduling. This
process is similar to crafting a roadmap that guides project teams toward their objectives while
ensuring that resources are optimized and timelines are met. Two invaluable tools in the
collection of project management are Gantt charts and PERT charts.
3.3.1 GANTT Chart (Generalized Activity Normalization Time Table)
A Gantt chart is a visual representation of a project's schedule. It serves as a chronological
blueprint, illustrating project tasks, their respective durations, and interdependencies along a
horizontal timeline. Gantt charts are instrumental in providing a lucid overview of the project's
evolution, allowing project managers to track progress, allocate resources judiciously, and make
real-time adjustments when needed.
Creating a Gantt Chart requires following task to be done:
a) Identify Tasks: Initiating the creation of a Gantt chart entails meticulously outlining all
essential project tasks. These tasks are often further dissected into manageable units.
b) Determine Task Durations: Realistic task duration estimates should be based on
experience, data, and task dependencies, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
c) Define Dependencies: Recognize the interdependence among tasks. Some tasks can
only commence once their predecessors have reached completion, thus forming a
sequential chain of dependencies.
d) Set Milestones: Highlight pivotal project milestones that demarcate significant
achievements or critical deliverables. These milestones are essential reference points in
the project's journey.
e) Construct the Chart: Employ Gantt chart software or dedicated tools to forge a
horizontal timeline. Skilfully position tasks along the timeline in accordance with their
prescribed start and end dates, factoring in task dependencies.
18
f) Assign Resources: Efficient resource allocation, such as assigning team members to
tasks, forms an integral part of Gantt chart management. Continuously monitor resource
availability.
g) Monitor Progress: The Gantt chart evolves alongside the project. As tasks are
completed or delayed, the chart is updated to reflect real-time progress. This dynamic
feature empowers project managers to adapt swiftly to changes, ensuring project
milestones are met.
Given below is the GANTT Chart for the CareSync Project:
