Appointment scheduling management system

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium programmed with code that, when executed, causes at least one machine to perform actions comprising:

• detecting, via a first sensor located within a medical room, a position or a motion of a first beacon in proximity to the first sensor, the first beacon corresponding to an individual, wherein the first sensor transmits a pulse signal with a first duration when the first beacon is in the proximity to indicate a presence of the individual in the medical room, wherein the first sensor transmits the pulse signal with a second duration when the first beacon leaves the proximity to indicate an exit of the individual from the medical room;
• retrieving scheduling information from an appointment database, the scheduling information including a plurality of appointments and corresponding scheduled times and duration for each appointment, wherein the scheduling information includes a first scheduled time for a first appointment and a second scheduled time for a second appointment;
• and
• via a processor coupled to the first sensor,
• logging an examination start time corresponding to when the first sensor transmits the pulse signal with the first duration,
• subtracting the first scheduled time from the examination start time to compute a first delay, and
• determining that the first delay is greater than a delay threshold,
• adding the first delay to the second scheduled time to compute a revised time associated with the second appointment;
• and
• transmitting a notification to a communication device associated with a second patient corresponding to the second appointment, the notification including the revised time.
