Background
Our customer, an Iceland-based company, requested DBB Software specialists develop a multi-part platform that would provide patients with tools for managing potential eyesight complications caused by diabetes. The platform had to consist of a mobile app, a healthcare provider portal, and an admin panel.
Outcome
DBB Software completed the client's requirements and created a comprehensive healthcare solution. This multi-level platform includes:
- Mobile application: The solution assists patients with tracking their diabetic retinopathy risk, receiving personalized recommendations for eye screenings, and better understanding their condition.
- Provider portal: It allows providers to track patients' progress, optimize patient care, and manage their workload more efficiently.
- Administration panel: It enables the management of healthcare providers' accounts, including payments and subscriptions.
- Cost reduction: our team deployed the application's backend to AWS using free-tier Lambda functions, resulting in considerable monthly savings.
Main Product Features
The application uses AI to analyze patient data and their retinal images to create accurate predictions regarding the risk of diabetic retinopathy.
The solution is designed to allow patients to make retinal images with their smartphones and a special camera attachment to perform self-monitoring.
Patients receive personalized recommendations for their eye screenings based on gathered health state information and risk assessment algorithms.
Healthcare providers can effectively track patient progress, manage accounts, and review analytics to make optimal care recommendations.
Business Context
The client's platform is a comprehensive solution that benefits patients and healthcare providers. It facilitates effective healthcare services via:
- Provision of detailed information about the risk of diabetic retinopathy to both patients and healthcare providers.
- Full coverage of patient monitoring, treatment recommendations, and advanced analytics by the healthcare provicers.
Challenges

As a result, our client received a multi-level solution that completely covered every requirement they provided. It is designed to provide patients self-monitoring instruments while offering healthcare providers real-time data tracking and management capabilities.
Implementation
Prior to the solution's actual development, our specialists reviewed competitors and prepared a detailed specification document for all three solutions. They also created UI/UX design and API documentation. Finally, DBB Software experts developed a complete deployment and hosting strategy for the platform.
Following an agile approach to optimize workflows and productivity, our team created:
- A mobile application from scratch. It uses AI to analyze patient data to accurately predict the risk of developing retinopathy.
- A multi-purpose healthcare provider portal that collects and analyzes patient data and allows users to effectively track it, manage patient accounts, and more.
- An administrative portal for our client to improve their ability to manage healthcare providers’ accounts, including payments and subscriptions.
