Overview

We developed an emergency healthcare application designed to provide instant access to doctors, hospitals, emergency services, and healthcare consultations through a unified digital platform.

The Challenge

In a medical emergency, minutes matter. The client needed an app where someone in distress could trigger help, get located, and reach a doctor without navigating a complicated interface, while also supporting routine consultations and health record access for ongoing care.

The Solution

We built native Kotlin and Swift apps around a one-tap SOS feature that captures GPS location and alerts responders in real time, backed by a Node.js API on AWS with MongoDB and PostgreSQL for flexible records and structured clinical data respectively. WebRTC powers video consultations with doctors, and Socket.IO keeps emergency status and hospital-availability alerts live as they change.

Business Objectives

  • Provide immediate healthcare accessibility
  • Improve emergency response coordination
  • Enable digital doctor consultation services
  • Build a secure healthcare communication ecosystem
  • Support real-time emergency assistance operations

Key Features

  • Emergency SOS functionality
  • Doctor consultation and appointment booking
  • Nearby hospital and clinic discovery
  • Self-assessment and symptom checker tools
  • GPS-based emergency location tracking
  • Real-time alerts and notifications
  • Health records and profile management
  • Secure authentication and privacy controls
  • Video consultation integration
  • Admin and healthcare provider dashboard

What We Delivered

  • Symptom-checker and self-assessment tools to triage before a user calls for help

Integrations

  • Push notifications (FCM)
  • Real-time updates (Socket.IO)
  • Video calling (WebRTC)

Reliability & Security

  • Secure, privacy-controlled handling of health records and personal data with JWT authentication
  • Low-latency location and alert delivery, critical to the SOS flow
  • AWS infrastructure built for high uptime given the emergency-use case
  • Native iOS/Android builds for reliable GPS and push behavior across devices
