Project Summary

Techugo was contracted to rebuild a client-facing Android app for a health tech startup, with features for medical record storage, messaging, appointment scheduling, and informational content delivery. The project was scheduled for 12–16 weeks but extended to nearly twice that time; the app remained unreleased with incomplete features and numerous bugs, and the client ultimately hired in-house staff to finish the work. The client also reported poor communication and repeated missed milestones.

Key Challenges

  • Needed to revamp the client-side Android app for patients because in-house capability was lacking
  • Required verified patient information delivery, appointment reminders, medical record management, messaging, and content delivery features

Project Deliverables

  • Android client app
  • Medical records management
  • Messaging feature
  • Appointment booking
  • Integration with backend APIs

Project Solution

Built a ground-up Android client app for patients with chronic conditions, implementing content delivery (animation videos, infographics), appointment reminders, medical record management, messaging, and connection to doctors. Techugo developed the Android app end-to-end using backend APIs provided by the client and staffed the project with one Android developer and a single point of contact/project manager.

Project Outcome

  • Project timeline extended to nearly twice the expected duration and the app remained unreleased
  • Around 70–80 bugs were reported; roughly 20 unique bugs remained after fixes
  • Missing or incomplete features and performance issues (no notifications for messages; slow care plan page)
  • Client hired in-house developers to complete remaining work

Quality of Deliverables

“The 12–16-week project took twice as long and resulted in an app with missing features and numerous bugs. Techugo ran into frequent delays, were slow to respond, and failed to convey when resources were unavailable or milestones changed. A lack of transparency caused a breakdown of trust.”
