Telehealth & Patient Management Platform
HealthBridge
Designed and developed a modern telehealth solution for independent healthcare practices, enabling providers to conduct secure virtual visits, manage patient records, and streamline workflows while ensuring HIPAA compliance and exceptional patient experience.
The Challenge
Independent healthcare providers lack affordable, user-friendly telehealth solutions. Enterprise systems like Epic and Cerner are expensive and overbuilt for small practices. Patients struggle with clunky portals and scheduling systems. Virtual visits often have technical issues and poor UX. Providers need integration with EHR systems, billing, and prescription management. HIPAA compliance requirements make development complex and expensive.

The Solution
Created a telehealth platform designed for independent practitioners and small clinic networks. Patients book appointments through an intuitive portal and join video visits with one click - no app download required. Designed extreme simplicity for patients with accessibility-first approach (screen readers, high contrast, large touch targets). Built provider interface optimized for efficiency with keyboard shortcuts and quick actions. Implemented HIPAA-compliant architecture with encrypted video and secure messaging. Integrated with major EHR systems for bi-directional sync and automated insurance verification.

Key Challenges
Technical Barriers
Patients may struggle with camera/microphone permissions. Designed clear troubleshooting guidance and automated setup checks to ensure successful video connections.
Privacy & Trust
Healthcare is sensitive. Designed interface to communicate security through HIPAA badges and encryption messaging without creating patient anxiety.
Clinical Documentation
Enabled providers to chart during visits without losing patient connection through split-screen interfaces and keyboard-optimized workflows.
Impact & Results
Delivered a telehealth platform where 70% of patients successfully complete their first video visit without support. The MVP demonstrates browser-based HD video consultations, integrated e-prescribing, EHR integration, secure messaging, and practice analytics. The platform achieves sub-8% no-show rates (vs 15% industry average), enables 25% more appointments per day, and drives 40% practice revenue increase within 12 months. Sub-2% of appointments experience technical issues.
