[ Business context ]

Our client approached Onix with the idea of a white-label self-managed healthcare solution to create caring networks around anyone in need of help.

This software should help organizations to enhance home-based care, improve patient discharge planning, limit avoidable hospital admissions, and many more.

Our client wanted to build a branded mobile application & admin panel that would allow healthcare organizations to make it easy for their customers to reach out for help and to provide the right help. Healthcare organizations could purchase the package of services without the need to take on the design and development, work with App Store & Google Play, support, and update an app.

So, customers get advantages of the technology without any hassles. Targeted education, remote monitoring, behavioral science, and connection to clinical guidance — all in one app.

background

[ Product scope ]

A few years ago, Onix created a similar web project for the same client.

But the previous codebase and design were outdated, so we had to develop an infrastructure for multiple branded apps, build the apps from scratch, and reinvent UX.

A professional team of Onix specialists followed the fine-tuned development process to create a first-class platform for patient self-care:

Collect requirements to define the main product features and meet business goals.

Set up a transparent and fine-tuned development process.

Conduct the discovery phase to reinvent the UX and develop the specification so that the developers can start the work as soon as possible.

Ensure a holistic solution consisting of mobile apps (iOS and Android) and a web app of different functionality and role within the product.

Implement reliable and advanced technologies to ensure high software operation and proper functioning.

Have a project in mind? Let's talk!

The product consists of two main solutions:

01

Branded mobile apps (iOS and Android)

The mobile app allows patients, carers, and the patient's personal network to:

  • Monitor care needs

  • Coordinate supportive care

  • Conduct regular risk assessments (PROMs)

  • Get prompts and targeted guidance to address identified risks

02

Customer dashboard

A dashboard enables customers to:

  • Keep track of home-based activities

  • Assess risks

  • Activate targeted guidance and interventions with direct communication links to patients, carers, and personal networks

  • See analytics of app usage and post some useful information for customers

The uniqueness of the product

Unique business idea

The product offers a particular task tracker for the people who help those in need.

01

Customizable interface

The product is constructed to adopt the organization’s unique branding.

02

White-label solution

The product is developed as a white-label solution meaning any organization can buy and integrate it into its system.

03

Flexible functionality

The super admin of the product can regulate the number of features each white-label copy has according to the client’s needs.

04

figures

The Onix team crafted a reliable solution that benefits four user groups:

Healthcare and insurance providers

Clinicians and administrators reap the rewards of enhanced patient flow, secure discharge of patients, lower home-based risks, heightened patient health results, and reduced avoidable hospital visits.

01

Healthcare payers

Payers benefit from decreased medical costs due to the prevention of adverse events and monetary gains from a higher quality performance and improved patient experience.

02

Patients

Patients can take control of their care by identifying needs, routinely assessing potential risks, and organizing personal networks.

03

Carers

Relatives and friends understand precisely what care is necessary. They are guided by screening outcomes and education that have been clinically developed to offer the best possible care.

04

figures

While running the discovery phase, we singled out five key roles on the platform:

Captain

Is the user (owner of the network) who creates a network to identify the tasks needed, coordinate help for a specific person, and communicate with the help network.

01

Admin

Is a user who has the same rights as the Captain but can't delete the network or change Captain.

02

Helper

Is a user who is part of a specific help network, can accept tasks, and view patients' information.

03

Inner circle helper

Is a "helper" user, but they can view and can accept "inner circle only" tasks and can view and comment on "inner circle only" chat topics.

04

Helper network

Is a network of users who are aimed to help a specific person. It can be family members, friends, neighbors, etc.

05

How digital health company service works

01

General user

  • Is recommended to use the app by the organization

  • Creates an account

  • Creates helping network

  • Invites others to join

  • Fills out a questionnaire to define helping needs

  • Creates tasks and appointments that others can help with

  • Communicates with others via chats, read useful tips in blog posts

02

Invited user

  • Receives an invitation to join the helping network from a friend or a relative

  • Creates an account

  • Accepts the invitation to join created network

  • Sees a list of appointments, tasks and can accept them to provide help

  • Communicates with others via chats, read useful tips in blog posts

Platform

From the first days of working on the digital health solution, it became clear that to make it successful in the market, we needed to develop effective platform architecture that would guarantee an ability to scale the product on demand, a smooth platform operation, and a pleasant user experience.

[ Product discovery stage ]

Onix started development from the discovery phase.

The main goal of the discovery was to define a straightforward app workflow, specify key features, reinvent the UX, and develop the specification so the developers could start the work as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the project, there needed to be more details to provide a precise estimation. So, Onix came up with the estimation based not on dev hours but on the devs' quantity needed to complete the project by the deadline, which was quite strict.

We discussed with the client the possibility of allocating additional resources to cover timing risks. But, we've managed to finish the project on time at a lower cost.

During the discovery phase, the Onix team:

01

Reviewed
the UX

02

Developed
a detailed user flow

03

Defined
MVP scope

04

[ Building MVP ]

Onix started this project from scratch, using all the previous materials as references.

Сreating a minimum viable product (MVP) allowed us to understand the target audience's needs and reduce time to market.

01

During MVP development, our experts:

  • Reviewed provided materials

  • Negotiated on MVP scope & provided estimation to fit the deadline

  • Created roadmap

  • Wrote specification

  • Worked on UI design

  • Developed platform architecture

  • Developed backend and frontend development

  • Provided QA assurance services

  • Prepared for app release

  • Ensured app publishing

02

Our MVP solution included the core features:

  • Authorization

  • Questionnaires

  • Invitations

  • Five roles in the app with different access

  • Network (team) with members

  • Calendar with tasks

  • Simple chat with attachments

[ Design ]

Our redesign services made a difference

So, at the very beginning, we got from the client:

  • Drafts of the wireframes;

  • A design made by another agency;

  • A list of features

When our specialists started to review the design, we found out that the user flow and UX were not thought over. The app seemed to be not very user-friendly, and the navigation was ambiguous.

Also, there was no specification that developers could start to work with.

The main challenge was to invent a comfortable and user-friendly UX that would make users intuitively navigate through quite a lot of information and app functionality.

[ Development ]

Our cooperation started with setting up an effective and transparent process.

At Onix, we use the Agile methodology to add flexibility, speed, and quality to our development process.

This development approach enables us to make ongoing improvements avoiding any issues and delays.

The main task was to develop a healthcare app for self-management (iOS and Android) and a web app. We decided to choose React Native since it:

  • allows us to develop simultaneously for Android and iOS by sharing code between two platforms.

  • ensures high performance. The user interface is created with the help of native modules and widgets. This is why the app looks and feels native.

  • reduces time and cost. We need one team to develop several apps and reuse the code base. So, the development time decreases twice, and so does the cost.

  • allows browser-compatible components to build web apps using the existing codebase of mobile apps while accelerating the web app development process significantly.

For backend development, we chose NodeJS, which is fast, has a large number of libraries, and is well suited for applications such as GG, which contains a large number of requests, but there are no very complex calculations.As a result, we had a fast, high-quality, and effective development with a compact team that professionally implemented the client's ideas into a viable product!

The app’s 'killer' features

Care management
