About the problem

The traditional cardiac rehabilitation, conducted at the time of the project's start back in 2017, involved all appointments being conducted physically in clinics. Patients had to either stay in hospitals or commute to them for rehabilitation sessions.

Consequently, the primary goal of the product's MVP phase was to conduct tests of the program on patients to demonstrate the effectiveness of remote rehabilitation compared to traditional solutions.

From the patients' perspective, the opportunity to undergo such rehabilitation remotely:

improves quality of life;

eliminates difficulties associated with transportation to medical centers;

reduces out-of-pocket costs;

lowers risk of complications, hospitalization, and death.

Development & Release

Our client came with a concept and the initial version of the app. We developed the product from the backend perspective and practically rewrote the entire frontend. By creating the MVP, we were able to release the application for initial testing on patients.

2 months
Product Discovery
for Scaling Stage

With this phase, we transitioned into product discovery with a specific focus on optimizing the application for the patient's experience. This involved conducting a comprehensive redesign and delving deeper into the areas of user registration and daily task management.

3 years
Software Development
Mobile & Web

This stage involves the creation of two distinct management units: a mobile patient app and a web hospital unit dashboard. Our aim was to seamlessly integrate all virtual management frameworks, processes, and trainings into a  comprehensive software platform.

Support & Maintenance 
+ Further Scaling

This ongoing stage involves adapting to legal, non-legal, and regulatory requirements while expanding the application to accommodate additional medical units. The application is also being functionally personalized to meet the specific needs of hospitals.
