Client's Testimonial

We knew we needed to offer virtual care, but off-the-shelf solutions didn't fit our workflow. Developers.dev built a custom application that feels like it was designed by dermatologists, for dermatologists. It has transformed our practice, and our patients love it. The team was incredibly responsive and understood our needs perfectly.

Client Introduction

A well-regarded multi-location dermatology practice in Australia was struggling with long patient wait times for non-urgent consultations and follow-ups. They wanted to offer virtual "store-and-forward" and real-time video consultations to improve patient convenience and create a new revenue stream.

Our Solution

Our Solution

We provided a dedicated "Healthcare Interoperability Pod" to tackle this custom development project.

💡 Custom Workflow Design

We worked closely with the clinic's dermatologists to design a unique "store-and-forward" workflow where patients could securely upload high-resolution images for review.

💬 Hybrid Communication

The platform seamlessly combined secure messaging for asynchronous consultations with scheduled, encrypted HD video calls for real-time appointments.
