Healthcare
Japanese Clinic

The vision behind this project was to create the best possible experience within the health-service sector. The client was driven by the idea of having a clinic that would be the best of the best, where there are no waiting lines, you can have the comfort to see your doctor from your house via video chat, and automate the whole process.
There are solutions using multiple apps as a combination of a reservation system via web, Zoom for video call, and prescription and payment systems which none of them would work with each other so it was far from increasing productivity. The clinic had to create a solution that is easy to use for patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and the back office and make all systems working with each other.
Our client had a promising test model but the challenge of establishing credibility and identity of a health-service provider was a pressing matter.
Our team had the challenge to quickly build a basic system consisted of integrating our backend solution with the existing scheduling system and the existent improvisation of the video call environment was replaced with a solution specifically designed for online video calls (web app and mobile apps) for their clinic’s personnel and the clinic’s end users (patients).
For treatment purposes, a prescription and delivery system was implemented and Stripe was integrated for an easier payment process.
The initial release backed up with excellent reception confirmed the potential of this niche market and opened different areas for exploration. The initial user base encouraged a big leap forward. The business needs were defined based on the user’s feedback and the requirements of each party involved in the system.
With a growing number of users and staggering retention rates, the needs of the business grew accordingly. The scope changed dramatically with the opening of the first physical clinic in one of the busiest areas in the city (Tokyo, Japan).
With different key stakeholders, we were responsible for addressing all the needs of the clinic’s personnel while also keeping in mind the clinic’s end users, the patient.

By employing agile (SCRUM), we carefully analyzed first-hand feedback from end users based on which we delivered the utmost value in short cycles. Observing the business’s operational processes allowed us to pinpoint the practical problems that were tackled gradually through smaller releases addressing important details which in turn, helped end users in their day-to-day work.
The existing scheduling system was replaced with fully customizable work shift and scheduling system that allowed employees to define working times, breaks, and activities.
We developed complex, yet intuitive calendar that enables employees to quickly skim through the working day, finding useful information about availability of people, rooms, types of appointments and patients basic information.
Integration with separate system for booking used within the clinic
Team Formation
For this project, we created a whole end-to-end team in Web Factory including PM and QA. While the highly skilled team is working on the development and ensuring the stability of the product, the client is able to focus on business strategies & product planning.

Results
Starting with a basic system for covering the main needs of the business, this product grew to become the backbone of the user’s everyday work. The business now has several dozens of employees that are serving over a couple of thousands of patients. The average productivity (efficiency) of an employee exceeded the initial expectations and it’s steadily growing while the retention rate is well over 80%.
In just two years, this system helped our client supersede its competitors and opened new doors towards transforming the health-service business in the upcoming years.
