Real-World Telehealth Success Stories
Scaling Virtual Care for a Multi-State Hospital Network
Client Overview: A leading hospital network with over 20 facilities across three states needed to replace its fragmented and poorly adopted collection of telehealth tools with a single, unified, and enterprise-grade virtual care platform. Their goal was to provide a consistent patient experience, streamline clinical workflows, and fully integrate virtual visit data into their central Epic EHR system.
Challenges:
- Integrating seamlessly with a highly customized Epic EHR instance.
- Ensuring platform stability and performance for thousands of concurrent users.
- Designing an intuitive interface to drive adoption among a diverse group of physicians.
- Meeting stringent enterprise security and HIPAA compliance requirements.
Our Solution: We architected and developed a scalable, cloud-native telehealth platform on AWS. Our team built a custom middleware using FHIR APIs for deep, real-time integration with their Epic EHR, allowing for automated appointment scheduling, patient data synchronization, and direct charting. The provider dashboard was co-designed with their clinicians to mirror and improve upon existing physical workflows, significantly reducing the learning curve.
Key Outcomes
Launching an AI-Driven Dermatology MVP for a HealthTech Startup
Client Overview: An ambitious HealthTech startup, backed by venture capital, aimed to disrupt the dermatology space with an AI-powered telehealth app. Their vision was a mobile-first platform where users could submit images of skin conditions, receive an initial AI-based analysis, and then connect with a certified dermatologist for a formal diagnosis and treatment plan.
Challenges:
- Rapidly developing a market-ready MVP to secure the next funding round.
- Integrating a proprietary machine learning model for image analysis.
- Building a compliant and secure "store-and-forward" consultation model.
- Creating a highly engaging and simple user experience for a non-technical audience.
Our Solution: We employed an agile, POD-based approach to build the native iOS and Android apps and the backend infrastructure in parallel sprints. Our AI experts worked closely with the client's data science team to build a robust API for their ML model. We implemented a HIPAA-compliant asynchronous messaging system and a secure payment gateway. The result was a polished, functional MVP delivered in just four months.
Key Outcomes
Custom Group Therapy Platform for a Mental Health Clinic
Client Overview: A specialized mental health clinic focusing on group therapy wanted to expand its services online. They needed a platform that could host secure, multi-participant video sessions, manage group scheduling, and provide resources and communication channels for group members between sessions, all while maintaining the highest standards of patient privacy.
Challenges:
- Ensuring stable video performance for up to 15 participants simultaneously.
- Creating complex scheduling logic for recurring group appointments.
- Building a secure, moderated forum for inter-session support.
- Integrating a subscription billing model for different therapy programs.
Our Solution: We built a custom web application using WebRTC for multi-party video conferencing, ensuring low latency and end-to-end encryption. A custom-built scheduling module was developed to handle the clinic's unique group-based booking rules. We integrated a secure messaging board with moderation tools for therapists and a subscription management system via Stripe for recurring billing.

Frequently Asked Questions
We ensure HIPAA compliance through a multi-layered approach. This includes end-to-end data encryption (in transit and at rest), strict access controls, secure cloud infrastructure on HIPAA-eligible services (like AWS or Azure), audit logging of all access to Protected Health Information (PHI), and signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Our development process incorporates security best practices from day one.
The timeline for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) can vary based on complexity, but a typical telehealth MVP with core features like user registration, scheduling, and one-on-one video consultations can be developed and launched in 4 to 6 months. Our AI-augmented development process helps accelerate this timeline by automating repetitive tasks and testing.
