Project Description
About the Client
Our client is a US-based telehealth platform that works to ensure that patients can book appointments with world-class physical therapists and quickly and easily get virtual consultation. For physical therapists, the platform reduces the gaps in their schedules, and thus helps curb revenue loss.
The primary goal of the platform is to facilitate smooth scheduling of physical therapy appointments for both patients and therapists. The platform currently offers physical therapy-related services but they have plans to expand to occupational therapy, speech therapy, nutrition therapy and more.
Key Challenges:
The platform for appointment scheduling had to be robust enough to meet the dynamic needs of its diverse users. The key challenges included:
- Allowing real-time appointment scheduling so that patients can book appointments immediately.
- Efficient schedule management functionalities for the therapists so that they can accommodate more patients and maximize revenues.
- The requirements of the web application were diverse, which required a powerful technology stack.
- Data privacy and security were also among the primary concerns as the application would be dealing with sensitive patient data.
Business Needs Synopsis
The main business need was to develop a robust, dependable, and secure platform that would allow seamless communication between patients and healthcare specialists.
To achieve this end goal, the team of experts at SynergyTop outlined the following actionable aspects:
- The platform should be designed so as to easily handle a heavy volume of user requests.
- Third-party integrations have to be considered so that payments could be accepted through the platform.
- The team wanted to add an appointment cancellation feature for situations when either the patient or the specialist was not available. Provisions had to be made for the same.
- The web application needed to have secure login to prevent any data breach or user privacy concerns.
SynergyTop’s Solution
Having sufficient experience in the web app development field, SynergyTop web app developers were quickly able to identify the solutions to meet the business needs. The solutions included:
- MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) was selected for the project as it provided enough capabilities to meet the current and future needs of our client.
- We were aware of future expansion plans of our client so Agile methodology was adopted to ensure flexibility and scalability. Agile methodology ensured that the web app can be updated and more features can be added without much rework or task duplication.
- The web app was integrated with the Stripe Payment Gateway for secure and hassle-free payment acceptance.
- AWS was selected for solving server-side queries seamlessly.
- Our team also developed a new code from scratch to ensure that the web app supports appointment cancellation as required by the client.
- To ensure that patients can easily interact with the platform, a welcoming and user-friendly interface was developed.
Business Benefits
With SynergyTops’ proactive approach and bespoke solutions, the telehealth platform and their end-users were able to reap the following benefits:
- The web app allows patients to get virtual treatment from therapists from multiple locations. This also helps clinics and physical therapists to cater to clients from different geographies and not miss out on patient leads.
- The web application allows free-flowing communication between patients and specialist therapists. Virtual meetings also aid in ensuring easier and wider access to healthcare.
- The team at the telehealth platform is moving towards achieving goal of making healthcare an easy and quick process for all as more and more people are now connecting with the web app for their physical therapy needs.
