A fast-growing startup in the healthcare sector wanted to build a hybrid app for making healthcare accessible and available to everyone. This multi-tenant application consisted of four separate sister applications for patients, doctors, laboratories, and pharmacies. The application allows patients to consult doctors, get mobile lab tests and medicines delivered at home. We built an Azure-based PaaS application that allowed patients to get medical care anytime.

The challenge

Our client wanted a robust, resilient, and cost-effective application that can scale up as their subscribers grew. The hybrid multiuser healthcare application presented a lot of challenges. 

• With four separate sister applications and different user persona, the workflows had to be synchronized and error-free.  
• A fast response time, availability, and processes had to be ensured due to the criticality of the application.  
• The app had to be responsive and deliver high performance on any device. 
• The critical modules like payment and sensitivity of data demanded high security. 

Our Solution 

After understanding the client’s requirements and challenges, we developed a solution that was the best fit.  We went for cloud hosting with Azure as the application availability was one of the major considerations.  With Azure PaaS, we could manage the building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating of the application and has control over the data. 

We used Azure PaaS offerings like Azure app service, Azure functions, Azure DevOps, and integrate Mongo Db and Cloud atlas with it.  We suggested a hybrid application for ensuring responsiveness as there are multiple user types who would use different devices to log in to the application. For instance, the patients might be using a mobile device while a doctor might be using a desktop.
