Business Challenge
The client’s operational setup relied on fragmented tools to manage physician visits, track health updates, and communicate with patients. This created multiple challenges:
- Missed or delayed appointments due to inefficient scheduling
- Physicians lacked access to up-to-date patient records while on the move
- Vital signs and health data were tracked manually or inconsistently
- Communication between patients and doctors was scattered across emails, calls, and chat apps
- The team had no centralized tool to coordinate care or track performance metrics
The goal was to create an integrated platform that enables physicians to manage appointments and care plans on the go while giving patients real-time access to their records, consultations, and reminders—all within a HIPAA-compliant environment.
Solution
From the start, the goal was not to reinvent how care teams operate, but to digitize and improve the way information flows between physicians, patients, and support staff. The solution had to reflect real-world workflows in home care settings: doctors juggling multiple home visits, patients needing easy access to care, and coordinators trying to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The mobile app was built to support physicians in their daily rounds—allowing them to review appointments, document visit notes, access patient vitals, and issue prescriptions directly from their devices. For patients, the system supports appointment requests, symptom pre-screening, secure messaging, and medication reminders. We also ensured that wearable device data could be synced into each patient’s profile, giving doctors more context for ongoing treatment.
Rather than offering generic health app features, we focused on practical tools that reduce administrative friction, improve response times, and enhance engagement for both care providers and recipients.
The final system includes:
👩⚕️ Physician Dashboard
Manage appointments, view patient records, track vitals, and document visit notes in real time.
📅 Smart Appointment Scheduling
Patients can request or schedule home visits, telehealth consultations, or check-ups based on real-time availability.
💬 Secure In-App Messaging
Encrypted communication between physicians and patients for follow-ups, prescriptions, and care instructions.
🛡️ End-to-end encrypted & HIPAA compliant.
📈 Health Tracking & Monitoring
Integration with wearable devices and manual input for real-time updates on vitals (heart rate, glucose, BP, etc.).
🏠 Location-Based Care Routing
Physicians receive optimized visit routes, travel time estimates, and location pinning for home care coordination.
📋 Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Centralized, cloud-based access to patient records, treatment plans, and care history with update tracking.
📎 ePrescriptions & Medication Reminders
Doctors can issue digital prescriptions, and patients receive reminders for dosages and refills.
🧠 AI-Driven Symptom Checker
Patients can pre-screen symptoms with a conversational assistant before connecting with their physician.
🌐 Multi-Language Support
