A Telemedicine Mobile App to Schedule Patient Doctor Appointments and Deliver Instant Care
PsychPlus Overview
PsychPlus is a group of clinics in USA with the vision to solve the growing mental health crisis by building modern, human-centered and technology powered, mental healthcare ecosystems.
They needed a reliable tech team to build a telemedicine application to bridge the gap between patients and psychiatrists/therapists. They sought the team’s experience in creating mental health and telehealth applications and integrating third-party billing to enable instant payments while upholding HIPAA security standards and patient confidentiality.
Challenge: To Make Mental Health Services Accessible and Affordable
Traditionally, in-person care without any digital health medium gave rise to common challenges such as long wait times and appointment conflicts.
Psychplus needed a telemedicine app to make patient care convenient through virtual consultations, appointment scheduling, and billing integrations. They wanted to enable patients to add their medical history on the go, track their medication needs, and request refills from the pharmacy. Furthermore, they wanted a platform that would provide visual content to its users to enhance mental health and well-being.
