Challenges & Goals
Integrating telehealth with online prescription services presented several challenges that needed to be addressed to ensure a seamless and effective solution.
Here’s a look at the key obstacles we faced and how they were tackled:
- Patients felt uncomfortable discussing sensitive conditions such as sexual dysfunction and mental health issues, impacting their willingness to seek treatment.
- There was a growing demand for convenient access to medications, with patients preferring home delivery over in-person pharmacy visits.
- The increasing demand for primary care services required more efficient healthcare processes to manage patient loads effectively.
- Existing telemedicine solutions lacked integration with health insurance, resulting in higher out-of-pocket costs for patients.
- The need for a user-friendly interface that could handle various healthcare tasks, including virtual visits and prescription management, was critical.
- Ensuring data security and patient privacy in an online environment posed significant challenges.
- Integrating the new platform with existing healthcare systems and workflows required careful planning and execution.
- Scaling the platform to accommodate a growing user base while maintaining performance and reliability was essential.
Our Engagement
We played a pivotal role in transforming the telehealth landscape by designing and developing a comprehensive platform that enables users to schedule virtual visits, request medical assessments, and receive prescriptions with free delivery.
We seamlessly integrated insurance coverage options where eligible to enhance accessibility.
To ensure robust development, we provided staff augmentation services with front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers, collaborating closely with the client’s team through agile practices.
Our team utilized a tech stack of Node.js and React.js, building and optimizing the platform with custom components and migrating legacy systems to a new REST API for improved functionality and scalability.
Additionally, we partnered with the client for ongoing improvements, continuously refining the platform’s efficiency and user experience based on feedback and iterative updates.
We’re thankful for our partnership with our client, which allowed us to integrate telehealth and pharmacy services seamlessly. This collaboration delivered a 10X return on investment, empowering their users and setting a new standard in healthcare. Together, we’re redefining convenience and privacy in patient care!
