Clinic Appointment Booking with Live Queue Display
A booking and queue system for a small clinic: patients book a slot, reception checks them in, doctors call the next patient, and a waiting room screen shows the live queue with an honest wait estimate. It exercises what enterprise Angular teams build every day: complex reactive forms, role based routing and state that updates live across several screens.

7 to ship
3 optional extrasSuggested stack
What you should ship
- Patient booking with slot availability, reactive form validation and clear error messages
- Receptionist dashboard to check patients in, mark no-shows and reorder urgent cases
- Doctor view to call the next patient, with the queue updating on every open screen without a refresh
- Role based routes and guards for patient, receptionist and doctor
- Waiting room display that is readable from across a room and announces the called number
- Wait time estimate computed from recent consultation durations, with its error measured against real times
- Playwright tests covering booking, check-in and calling the next patient
If you have time left
- SMS reminder the day before and a notification when the patient is two places away
- Offline tolerant reception screen that syncs when the connection returns
- Several doctors and rooms sharing one queue
The problem
Most small clinics run their queue on paper and shouting. Patients wait hours without knowing where they stand, and reception cannot see who is actually in the building.
What you build
An Angular application with three roles and a public display: booking, check-in, calling patients, and a live queue shared by every screen, backed by a small Node.js API and PostgreSQL.
Why it suits Angular
This is the kind of form heavy, role based internal software where Angular is common. Reactive forms, services, dependency injection, guards and signals all have a natural job here.
The interesting part
Keeping several screens consistent. Two receptionists reorder the queue at the same time, a patient cancels while being called, a tablet loses its connection. Decide how updates are pushed and how conflicts resolve, and show that every screen converges.
How to evaluate it
Run a simulated clinic session with scripted events across four browser windows and check they agree. Compare your wait estimates with actual waits over the session and report the average error.
Scope warning
No medical records and no payments. The queue and its live behaviour are the project.
Ideas and guidance, not finished projects
These are project ideas and scoping guidance, published free for students to use as a starting point. I do not build, write, or sell final-year projects, and I do not complete coursework for anyone. Take an idea, make it yours, and build it.
Not sure this one fits you?
I help students pick an idea that matches their skills and their deadline, then scope it down until it is finishable. Guidance only, never done for you.
Stuck on something specific?
Writing only gets you so far. If you want an answer to your situation rather than the general case, book a session and we will work through it together. Sessions are free for approved Sefism members, and a few slots open each week.
