Web Portal & Mobile App

Equipe Zorgbedrijven required a robust and user-friendly digital solution to enhance communication between healthcare professionals and patients. The project involved the development of an integrated web portal for healthcare providers and a mobile application for patients, aimed at streamlining interactions and improving patient care.

Challenges

• Integrating multiple communication channels for seamless interaction between clinicians, nurses, and patients.

• Providing patients with an intuitive interface to manage appointments, treatments, and receive timely information.

• Ensuring secure and reliable access to sensitive patient data.

• Adhering to legislation related to the handling of health data

• Implementing automated deployments and maintaining high availability.

Solution

A comprehensive web portal and mobile application were developed, allowing healthcare providers to communicate directly with patients and discuss patient care internally. The patient-facing mobile app provides a clear overview of treatments, upcoming appointments, and related exercises, along with the ability to initiate chats with care professionals and receive notifications for PROM/PREM questionnaires.

• Technologies Used:

  React, React Native, GCP, Terraform, Github Actions

• Development Approach:

  Agile methodology with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD)

• Security Measures:

  Implemented robust authentication and data encryption mechanisms to protect patient information.

Infrastructure Setup

The project involved setting up a scalable and resilient infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform using Terraform for infrastructure as code. Key aspects included:

• Automated Deployments:

  Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Github Actions to automate testing, integration, and deployment processes.

• Scalability and Reliability:

  Designed the infrastructure to be highly scalable, ensuring it could handle increased load and maintain high availability.

• Maintenance-Free Operation:

  The infrastructure setup has been so robust that the current developers have not needed to make significant changes, ensuring long-term stability and reliability.

Results

• Improved Communication:

  Facilitated direct communication between patients and healthcare providers, leading to better patient engagement and care coordination.

• Enhanced Patient Experience:

  Patients gained easy access to their treatment plans, appointments, and were able to interact with their care providers seamlessly.

• Operational Efficiency:

  Automated deployment processes reduced downtime and ensured the platform's reliability and scalability.

• Long-Term Stability:

  The infrastructure setup has proven to be highly stable and reliable, requiring minimal maintenance and providing a solid foundation for future developments.

Client Feedback

Equipe Zorgbedrijven expressed high satisfaction with the project outcome, highlighting the improved communication and enhanced patient experience as key benefits of the new platform. They also appreciated the reliable and scalable infrastructure, which has supported ongoing operations without significant maintenance requirements.
