Healthcare apps ecosystem development and support

Business Challenge

The customer has been looking for a company that has real experience in health app development, not only understands the complexity and specificity of medical applications, but also has qualified software developers to handle the existing enterprise app ecosystem.

Our Solution

Customer’s existing healthcare applications were designed to manage / record prescriptions and medicines, send medicines from the warehouse to clinics, support the inventory of prescriptions and medicines, print labels for medicines doses. In other words, this is an ecosystem of medical applications for patient appeals and prescribed medicines management/monitoring. Particularly healthcare apps simplify work processes, optimize the interaction between the patient and doctors and reduce the time of medical appointments.

The main features of the ecosystem can be described by the following points:

• Initial patient registration, data on diagnoses and courses of treatment
• Collection of historical data on cases of interaction between patients and medical institutions
• Medicines prescription processing and its integration (at the API level) with external systems designed to automate pharmaceutical processes
• Formatting of printed forms in .docx, .pdf formats etc.
• Modification of existing printed forms
• Modification of the back-end part of the project, ensuring the possibility of system operation without a basic medical framework
• Data exchange (integration) with systems using the integration server – BizTalk Server

Additionally this medical project includes the development of 2 healthcare apps from scratch. In short, these medical apps are following:

• Health tech app that includes the list of partners who provide medical services. In general this application allows display of partners on the map, filtering by different key criteria and has the admin tool.
• Medical application for logging patients events that require additional care by different structural divisions of the company.
