A Story Behind
The client, a startup founded by a collaboration of 3 entrepreneurs, wanted to bring together healthcare specialists that own/operate private practice’s (dentists, dieticians, physiotherapists, etc.), as well as clinics and alternative medicine doctors on one platform. This way, it will more easily facilitate the search for the right doctor for patients across the country.
The client stated that before applying to Anadea healthcare development company, proposal requests were sent to many other companies, and most couldn’t provide the development of the whole system, but only some separate functionality or modules of the solution. The aim of the project was to provide a platform for patients to find the right medical specialists and book an appointment with one, either at the medical office or at the patient’s home.
Doctors and clinics can register in the app and accept appointments, giving them more freedom and flexibility when it comes to booking patients. Thus, the doctors could register as individual users and as a part of a clinic. Both doctors and clinics have to be approved by platform admins in order to start working through the platform. The application should contain an agenda for patients, doctors, clinics so that end-users would be able to check their upcoming appointments.
Anadea Team Effort
One of the aims of the healthcare marketplace, is that it should be a feature-rich and scalable system. As part of the process, the Anadea development team suggested starting with a thorough discovery phase. We elaborated and prioritized requirements, prepared a backlog, created prototypes to test them with a focus group. The design was changed several times for the most appealing user experience. Also, a system architect provided the customer with a technical consultation, and after that, we moved on to the MVP development.

More Than Just
a Solution
The MVP that we developed for the startup client has a big potential to conquer the market. The customer, after a series of negotiations with investors, including state ones, evaluates prospects as promising and builds plans for adding such functionality as ordering a taxi or a specially equipped medical machine through the app.
As well as adding more monetization models, such as doctors’ and clinics’ promotions, and a range of other options. There is still a lot of work ahead, and Anadea is pleased to be working with the customer to support the ambitious plans going forward.
