How We Helped Client Build a Comprehensive Healthcare App That Delivers Virtual Care for Patients

Multiple third-party applications to manage their healthcare ops

For the healthcare industry, precision and quality of care are paramount, and managing the details accurately is of utmost importance. With human error being an inevitable factor, relying on manual management of payment increases workflow issues and diminishes the quality of end results.

Healthcare management can utilize technology & integrations to accurately handle patient records, enable virtual bookings, ensure secure payments, & implement single sign-on (SSO), resulting in smoother operations & uninterrupted business flow.

NextCare faced collaboration difficulties with three different external apps managing various aspects of operations that includes booking appointments, maintaining records, and processing digital payments. To overcome these challenges and achieve business efficiency, they required an all-in-one solution for both mobile and web applications with automated workflows.

NextCare used the WordPress framework to facilitate its operations. Also, they leveraged diverse third-party apps for their healthcare operations across web & mobile platforms. Unfortunately, all these apps redirected patients to their respective websites, resulting in frustration & poor UX. This decluttered patient experience reduced engagement & retention rate.

NextCare was looking for:

• A unified healthcare app for both web & mobile users
• Strong security policies that comply with HIPAA.
• Secured patient portal with SSO.
• Reliable digital payments
• User-friendly interface

A holistic healthcare app where patients can book appointments, take virtual visits, upload reports, and do much more

We kick-started by analyzing the client's existing infrastructure & identified the areas of enhancements. Based on their existing business model, we proposed enterprise mobility solutions with appropriate tech stack to achieve their future goals.
