01The challenge
No single view of the hospital's day.
Hospital teams were juggling bookings, doctor rotas, room availability, patient status and maintenance requests across separate systems and paper. Nobody had a single view of the day.
Our role: End to end: product design, full-stack development and launch of the MVP.
02Project goals
What the MVP had to prove.
Give staff one view of the day
Bookings, available doctors, free rooms and open requests on a single screen, instead of across systems.
Make scheduling visible
Show who is available and when, so appointments go to the right doctor the first time.
Keep patients moving
Track each patient from booking to confirmed to seen, with a clear status at every step.
Validate with real users early
Put the core workflows in front of hospital staff before investing in a full platform.
03What we built
One dashboard for patients, staff and rooms.
Operations dashboard
Doctors on staff, bookings, room availability across general and private rooms, and health trends.
Appointments and calendar
A monthly calendar with activity details, and a day-by-day schedule of who is seeing whom.
Doctors' schedules
Each doctor's department, hours and availability, so staff can book against real capacity.
Patient records and status
Patient list with date in, diagnosis and status, from incoming to confirmed or cancelled.
Department insights
Patient mix by department and a monthly patient overview compared with the previous year.
Facilities requests
Transport, equipment maintenance, room cleaning, HVAC and medication restock requests in one queue.
