2.3.2.1 Use-Case Diagram

2.3 Design
2.3.1 Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework acts as the map that will lead the
researchers in achieving the study's goals, as seen in the image
below. The researchers provide a figure depicting the process
using conceptual framework including input, process, and
output. The admin, patients, doctor, and secretary are the four
users of the system in input. The admin has complete access to
the system, while the patient, doctor, and secretary have
restricted access.
Python, Java Script, Flutter, Firebase, CSS, and the Random
Forecast Classifiers are among the technologies used by the
researchers to make this happen. The major language for
predictive analysis is Python, and java script is used in
combination with CSS and HTML to make the system more
interactive. Firebase is utilized to develop a real-time database
for the system, and flutter is used to build a cross-platform from
migrating online and mobile applications. The Firebase Realtime
Database, on the other hand, is a cloud-hosted NoSQL database
that allows you to store and sync data in real-time amongst your
users. Finally, one of the key functions of CSS, which used to be
the system's front-end, is to make the system seem attractive.
The system's output will show a calendar check that shows the
approval of patient appointments, followed by the triage/covid19
pre-test screening, which will show the approved check sign and
the patients' results, and finally, the reports, which will show the
entire list of patients who have accessed the triage, as well as a
summary of daily approved and declined appointments of
patients. (See Figure 2).

Figure 3: Use-Case
The Use-Case, shown in Figure 3 above, depicts the whole
system's workflow, with three users: patients, administrators, and
doctors/secretaries. Patients may only access sign-in and sign-up,
appointment booking, canceling appointments, receiving
permission via message, and filling out the triage form, which is
one of the needed forms before visiting the clinic. Patients can
also examine their personal information. While the clinic's
doctor/secretary can only access four forms: sign-in, sign-up,
cancel appointments, examine reports, and then approve or deny
Figure 2: Conceptual Framework (Input – Process – Output) appointments. And the admin also has complete access to the
system (See Figure 3).

software system by defining a collection of hardware and
software components, as well as their interfaces (See Figure 5).

The admin can use this form to monitor patients who have
appointments with their doctors and evaluate the patient's pre-
screening utilizing predictive analysis, as shown in the
screenshot above (See figure 5).

The sign-up form shown above allows users to create an account
by entering their information, username, and password. It is also
possible to access the application by logging in using their
