Niyati Women and Pain Center — Booking & Management Platform

Niyati runs Django's MVT pattern in one core app: public views render from templates/frontend/, staff views from templates/backend/ under /account/. Appointments reference either a recurring or date-specific timing slot through a Django ContentType generic relation, decoupling scheduling from booking logic. The booking flow itself is API-driven — frontend JS calls DRF endpoints that validate doctor leave/availability, create the patient and appointment records, then hand off to Razorpay or HDFC for payment.

Post-payment, a post_save signal on Appointment triggers SMS notifications and, for video visits, schedules an APScheduler job that calls the Zego API shortly before the appointment to generate a join link. A separate, API-key-protected read-only endpoint set serves a companion mobile app, kept distinct from the session-authenticated staff dashboard API — a pragmatic two-tier security model rather than one shared auth layer for very different consumers.
