Results

Our solutions have consistently delivered tangible results, including improved compliance with regulatory mandates, enhanced caregiver satisfaction, streamlined administrative processes, and increased operational efficiency.

Challenge 1 - Mobile app with poor internet connectivity

Providing a mobile app (available on Android and iOS) that remains functional in areas with poor internet connectivity or even when offline.

Solution

Implement GPS offline functionality and incorporate an algorithm capable of detecting fraudulent activity in clock-in/clock-out reports by tracking routes.



Challenge 2 - Third party integration

Encountering integration issues with a third-party service that was still under development, a situation undisclosed during initial discussions. Despite the straightforward integration code, the third-party service proved highly unstable in real-world scenarios.

Solution

In numerous projects, addressing performance issues proved critical, particularly when stemming from the inefficient design of a specific data structure. While the initial design met basic functionality requirements, its scalability became increasingly burdensome as the project progressed. Through close collaboration with third-party stakeholders, we introduced fail-safe restart mechanisms and provided detailed feedback on our observations. Despite multiple attempts to optimize the existing structure yielding minimal improvements, conducting a proof of concept with a redesigned architecture proved transformative. The significant speed enhancements observed led to team approval of the redesign, with necessary resources allocated for implementation. Following approximately six months of concerted efforts, the third-party service achieved stability, ensuring uninterrupted functionality moving forward.



Challenge 3 - Addressing Regulatory Complexity in Healthcare Software Development

Navigating the variance in healthcare regulations across different US states, necessitating the application of distinct rules.

Solution

Develop a rule engine capable of evaluating inputs based on predefined conditions, facilitating compliance with diverse regulatory requirements across various states.
