Client's Testimonial

"Developers.dev was the accelerator we desperately needed. Their 'Healthcare Interoperability Pod' was more than just staff augmentation; they were partners. Their understanding of HIPAA and FHIR standards was incredible. We simply could not have launched this quickly or this well without them."

- Head of Product

Client Introduction

A venture-backed scale-up in the US aiming to launch a new telemedicine platform connecting patients with specialist doctors. They had a strong product vision and market strategy but a small in-house engineering team focused on their existing EMR product.

Problem

The client needed to build and launch a secure, scalable, and HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform from the ground up. The market window was closing fast, and hiring a full in-house team of specialized HealthTech developers would have taken at least 9-12 months, delaying their entry into the market.

Key Challenges

Ensuring Strict Adherence

Ensuring strict adherence to HIPAA and HITECH regulations.

EHR System Integration

Integrating with various Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems using HL7/FHIR standards.

Real-time Video Consultation

Building a real-time, high-quality video consultation feature.

Seamless User Experience

Creating a seamless and intuitive user experience for both patients and doctors.

Our Solution

We deployed a dedicated Healthcare Interoperability Pod, a cross-functional team with specific expertise in HealthTech. The team consisted of a Project Manager, a UI/UX Designer, two Full-Stack MERN developers, a QA Automation Engineer, and a DevOps specialist with experience in HIPAA-compliant infrastructure on AWS.

UI/UX Design Sprint

We began with a one-week intensive design sprint to create a clickable prototype, allowing the client to get early feedback from target users before a single line of code was written.

Agile Development

The project was executed in two-week sprints, with a functional demo at the end of each sprint. This iterative process ensured the final product was perfectly aligned with the client's vision.

HIPAA-Compliant Architecture

We architected the entire solution on AWS, using services like VPC, IAM, and KMS to enforce strict access controls and end-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest.

Third-Party Integrations

We leveraged our expertise to build robust integrations with a third-party video API (for consultations) and several major EHR systems using the FHIR standard.

Implementation and Execution

Cross-Platform Mobile App

Used React Native for cross-platform mobile app development, targeting both iOS and Android.

Node.js & MongoDB Backend

Built the backend using Node.js and MongoDB for flexibility and scale.

CI/CD with Security Checks

Established a CI/CD pipeline with automated security and compliance checks.

Logging and Auditing

Implemented a comprehensive logging and auditing system to meet HIPAA requirements.

End-to-End Testing

Conducted end-to-end testing, including simulated patient-doctor consultations.

Platform & App Deployment

Successfully deployed the platform and apps to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Positive Outcome

Market Launch in 5 Months

The client launched their platform three months ahead of their most optimistic internal schedule.

100% HIPAA Compliance

The platform passed a third-party HIPAA compliance audit with no remediation needed.

Rapid User Adoption

Onboarded over 5,000 patients and 200 doctors within the first three months of launch.

Secured Series B Funding

The successful and rapid launch was a key factor in the client securing their next round of funding.
