About Otboo
Our client tasked us with creating "Otboo," a groundbreaking healthcare app designed to connect patients with their healthcare providers efficiently. Otboo aims to streamline the medical appointment process by offering real-time updates, queue management, and easy rescheduling options, ensuring that both patients and doctors can save valuable time.
Project Goals
Conceptualization of the Project
The inception of Otboo was driven by the need to facilitate a seamless digital interface between patients and healthcare providers. Our goal was to craft a platform that not only allowed for easy appointment booking but also integrated real-time status updates. This initial phase involved mapping out user needs through surveys where a significant 75% of consumers affirmed the importance of technology in healthcare management.
Development of a Tailored Mobile Application
By embracing the widespread usage of mHealth apps, with 48% of people actively using them, our team developed Otboo to cater to this tech-savvy audience. The application was designed to provide live updates on appointment statuses, thereby minimizing wait times and streamlining the consultation process.
Integration of Real-Time Data Syncing
One of the standout features of Otboo is its real-time data syncing capability, which ensures that both patients and doctors are informed about appointment statuses as they change. This system was developed to keep all parties updated, enhancing the efficiency of medical consultations.
Nationwide Rollout and Continuous Improvement
Following extensive beta testing to ensure robust functionality, Otboo was rolled out nationwide. The rollout was accompanied by continuous monitoring and updates based on user feedback to improve the application’s performance and user experience continuously.
