Client: HealthTech Startup
A European-based healthtech startup focused on transforming how people access healthcare services. The company is developing a mobile platform for convenient interaction with healthcare professionals — from consultations to prescriptions — aiming to reduce the load on clinics and improve patient outcomes.
About the Client
The client sought to launch a mobile application that would serve as a comprehensive medical assistant in the user's pocket. The app needed to support remote consultations, provide access to medical history, simplify appointment booking, and ensure secure digital prescriptions and payments — all while complying with healthcare data regulations. The client lacked an in-house development team and needed a technology partner capable of delivering the full product lifecycle.
