BTC built this intuitive solution for an LA-based mental health service company. The platform helped the client launch a program to support healthcare professionals manage their mental wellbeing. Developed during the covid-19 pandemic, it provides target users and administrators with an easy way to access mental health resources and configure content published on the applications.
The Challenge
- Engage with and track mental health data of target user cohorts–physicians and frontline workers–via the platform’s mobile application.
- Tailor the app experience for users by publishing content unique to the location they work within the hospital network.
- Maintain site information about each user and tag study resources such as pdf documents to specific hospital sites.
- Ensure the safety of sensitive data and comply with industry-specified regulations.
The Solution
- We developed an intelligent solution comprising web and mobile applications by implementing BTC’s Real World Insights, a digital platform to collect real world data for clinical trials and research studies. The solution leveraged various DevOps tools such as GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform for high-quality performance.
- Our solution provided personalized resources and recommendations to users based on the data from an existing ML matching algorithm that tracks users’ moods.
- Modified the solution to recognize the users’ site information and display relevant resources such as pdf content accordingly.
- At the admins’ end, ‘Participant manager’ functionality was leveraged to manage a list of hospital sites and associated users. Invitations were then sent to download the mobile application.
- We created web services to publish the site list to the study admin console component of our RWI platform, where study-specific resources were managed.
- Enabled admins to publish content and tag it to specific sites. This ensured the platform’s flexibility to provide site-agnostic content for users.
- Implemented proactive security controls such as end-to-end encryption and adhered to industry regulations such as HIPAA to protect sensitive personal information.
