Background

Our client, a comprehensive healthcare review platform, approached us needing to improve their flagship product. The platform allows users to rate and review their healthcare providers and see reviews from other patients. The challenge was to recreate this platform almost from scratch.

DBB Software team approached the task strategically and began developing and upgrading the functionality for the server part, web application, and mobile application, with subsequent support for these elements. We also added multi-tenant functionality to the system, which allowed us to add new countries to the platform’s pattern.

Outcome

DBB Software developed a comprehensive healthcare review platform according to the client’s requirements. Rebuilt and improved solution yielded impressive results:

  • Adherence to legislative requirements: Strict adherence to GDPR and HIPAA standards ensures utmost data privacy, with an annual audit for compliance.
  • User engagement: Since its launch, the average time spent on the platform per visit has increased by 25%, with a 40% increase in monthly repeat visits.
  • Verified reviews: Our team implemented a two-step verification process, reducing fraudulent reviews by 80%.
  • User base growth rate: The user base grew by 150% in the first year, with notable spikes following expansions into new countries.
  • Patient satisfaction improvement: Surveys indicate a 30% improvement in finding suitable healthcare providers since using the platform.

The client’s platform became a trusted source of information about healthcare providers, with over 10 million users worldwide. It has also helped patients book over 20 million appointments. Now, patients can find healthcare specialists on the platform in the following countries: the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Mexico.

The developed solutions turned the client's platform into a global and reliable source of information for patients seeking a healthcare provider. It offers unprecedented convenience to the patients while providing clinics with a platform to build their reputation.

Implementation

#1 Research and Analysis

Our team conducted an in-depth analysis of the client's existing product to identify their technologies and requirements. We proceeded to create a tech stack to supplement the client’s needs.

#2 Iterative Development

With the tech stack ready, our team proceeded to the development process. We used an agile approach to optimize our resources.

  • The UI/UX team translated the virtual design into an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
  • We integrated Strapi, a headless CMS, to control content without deployments, database updates, etc. Strapi is also useful for content management of the homepage web application and mobile application without the involvement of developers.
  • Developers also integrated PoEditor, a user-friendly translation software, to support entrance into new markets.
  • We used Branch.io to create universal links.
#3 Code Review and Testing

Developers performed thorough reviews and moved all the platform changes to the staging environment for further QA tests.

#4 Feedback & Iterations

After deploying the mobile application and changes to the platform, our specialists gathered user feedback to continue rolling out improvements.
