A HIPAA-compliant telehealth product built to reduce unequal access to care.


## The problem

Founder Thomas Caraballo, a healthcare professional, started from the obstacles patients face reaching care at all. The company's stated aim is to reduce unequal access to healthcare and improve patients' health span.

A product with that aim has to carry HIPAA obligations from the first commit, and it has to make clinical information legible to people without clinical training.


## What we built

iOS and Android apps on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, with test result visualisation to help patients understand their own exam results, health goal setting, integrated patient-provider messaging, and video consultation.

Payments run through Stripe under PCI compliance, messaging through Sendbird, and video through Twilio.


## What happened

The source case study publishes no adoption, retention or clinical outcome figures, so none appear here.

- HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with data protection protocols in place
- PCI-compliant payment handling
- Indigo Design Award recognition for the app
- The app has helped many users navigate the healthcare system

## Delivery notes

Stack: Ruby on Rails, Swift, Kotlin, Stripe, Sendbird, Twilio.

Capabilities applied: Governance, Risk and Compliance, Product Design. Delivered as a committed scope, estimated in story points and priced before work began.
