eHealth web platform for caregivers

About

Our client operates at the forefront of the healthcare industry, addressing the pervasive issue of caregiver burnout. Their innovative approach targets the identity discrepancy faced by family caregivers, offering a unique solution within the caregiving support domain.

Project Overview

We started our collaboration with merely a rough concept from the client. Our role was to refine this concept, plan the project, and provide a well-rounded solution. The primary deliverable was a mobile-centric web application, with the added capability of installation on mobile devices via Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology.

Building Minimum Viable Product (MVP):

Mapping Software Architecture

We implemented a microservices architecture using the FastAPI backend framework on Python to create a scalable and robust back-end infrastructure. This choice of architecture was made to ensure that our system could handle increased load and provide a resilient foundation for future development. Microservices allow for modularity and flexibility, enabling the seamless addition of new features and services as the product evolves.

Releasing Features

Frontend Development

SvelteKit was utilized to construct a Server-Side Rendering (SSR) front-end, ensuring an intuitive and responsive user interface. The choice of SvelteKit was driven by the need for a frontend technology that could deliver a seamless user experience, especially in terms of speed and interactivity. SSR ensures faster page loading and a smooth user interface, enhancing overall usability.

Database Management

MongoDB was selected for efficient database management. This decision was made to accommodate the handling of diverse data sets efficiently, ensuring that our product could store and retrieve data quickly and effectively, ultimately leading to a better user experience.

DevOps Integration

DevOps methodologies, including CI/CD, were emphasized to streamline development and deployment processes. The integration of DevOps practices was crucial to enable a smoother and more efficient development and deployment pipeline. This approach reduced manual errors and ensured that new features and updates could be delivered to users rapidly and reliably.

Automated Testing

After the MVP launch, we shifted our focus to incorporating omitted logic and processes, initiating automated testing like End-to-End (E2E) tests for frontend, and Unit/API tests for microservices to ensure product reliability. As we expanded and refined the product post-MVP, automated testing became essential to maintain product quality. E2E and Unit/API tests helped us identify and rectify issues early in the development cycle, ensuring a stable and reliable user experience.

Ongoing Optimization

The project is currently in an optimization phase to implement user feedback, further automate testing, and enhance DevOps processes for better performance and user satisfaction. Implementing user suggestions and automating testing ensures that the product evolves to meet changing user needs and maintains a high level of performance and reliability.

Results

A solid, user-oriented solution was developed. We efficiently launched an MVP within budget and gained our initial user base. This offered essential insights to shape ongoing product development. Currently, we’re focused on expanding the solution’s features to meet evolving user needs.
