Project description

Perkk Check is a brand belonging to Canadian healthcare and insurance solutions provider - Medavie Blue Cross. The product developed by Apzumi is a web-based platform dedicated to health assessment with the use of any device with camera and internet access. 

The Perkk Check platform utilizes Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI™) technology. Based on just a 30-second video scan from your phone, tablet, or computer, along with a brief five-question mental health assessment, this technology offers a comprehensive overview of your overall health and wellness. This novel technology combines real-time data with robust machine learning algorithms to gauge blood flow data captured by the scan.
As a result, the app generates over 30 health indicators across 6 categories:

General wellness score

Vital signs

Mental stress

Physiological

Physical

Long-term risk prevention

The application developed by Apzumi enables a comprehensive presentation of visual test results through a series of categorized graphs. Additionally, the app offers a detailed history and long-term analytics of user outcomes, facilitating an assessment of overall health risks. Users also benefit from access to a dedicated Health Hub, which serves as a repository of health-related medical articles. 

The application features six distinct user panels. Three of them are tailored for home care service: patient, home care admin and health provider, and two additional panels are dedicated to the benefit system service: wellness employee and wellness admin. The final panel is dedicated for super admin and is dedicated for administrators to efficiently manage all app users.

About the problem

Perkk Check’s app offers solutions to two unique problems:

1.

Perkk Check simplifies the process of monitoring "home patients".

Nurses or social workers from home care agencies can visit their clients and oversee their health status. Since they are often not qualified physicians, they may struggle to determine the actual health status of the patients. That's why Perkk Check was created - the software seamlessly monitors vital health indicators through facial scans. If something is wrong, caregivers can refer the patient to a doctor visit or hospitalization.

2.

Perkk Check is a unique health benefit for company employees.

Any organization can promote a healthy lifestyle among its employees by providing them access to the Perkk Check system, which monitors their health status. The data always remains confidential - no employee or admin has access to individual employees' results. Each organization can personalize their platform by choosing its own health indicators and applying company branding instead of the default white label look.

Discovery & UI/UX Design

Our team began by defining platform functionalities and objectives. From there, we created a UI/UX design for the main four distinct user types, alongside refining flow, result presentation, and comprehensive historical data visualization.

6 months
MVP Development

During the MVP development, we focused on integrating functionality with Nuralogix's Transdermal Optical Imaging technology. Additionally, the first four dedicated user panels were created: patient, home care admin, health provider, and super admin.

2 years (ongoing)
Product Scaling

Further development of the application focuses on adapting the solution for the corporate benefit service. Consequently, additional modules have been created - wellness employee and wellness admin. The application has also been enriched with enhanced test result charts and analytics.
