How We Launched a React Native App for a US Healthcare Startup in 11 Weeks—On Time and Under Budget
Client: aeliusventure
Our client, a telehealth firm aimed at chronic-care patients, had previously spent a portion of their seed capital on a previous development attempt that failed. Their initial team had decided on separate native codebases for iOS and Android, and six months later, they had two half-finished apps, a growing backlog, and a board that was losing patience. They approached us with three hard constraints: 1. A specified 11-week deadline. The firm had a demo arranged with a group of healthcare investors and wanted a working app, not a prototype, by that date. 2. A fixed budget. There was no opportunity for scope creep or the high expenses associated with maintaining two native codebases concurrently. 3. Stringent compliance standards. As a healthcare app that stores, transmits, and accesses patient data, the product had to meet HIPAA criteria from the start. On top of these limitations, the fundamental product was ambitious. The application needed to support: - Ensure safe patient onboarding and identification verification - Video consultations with licensed providers. - Appointment scheduling and reminders. - Encrypted communication among patients and care teams - Integration with a third-party electronic health record (EHR) system - Push notification for medicine and follow-up reminders.

The startup required a solution to create once and deploy globally while maintaining performance and compliance. ...
