Project Summary

Velvetech augmented an internal team to accelerate development of integrated healthcare apps for providers and patients. They executed portions of a care coordination web application and built a patient-facing mobile app, delivering high-quality releases that received positive initial user feedback. The vendor demonstrated strong project management and collaboration using tools such as Jira, GoToMeeting, and GitHub.

Key Challenges

Lacked adequate internal resources to pursue multiple business opportunities over a 2–3 year period.
Needed temporary personnel for limited engagements without hiring in-house staff.

Project Deliverables

Healthcare coordination web application for providers
Patient-facing mobile app (iOS and Android)
Server-side .NET backend on Windows
Web user interface built with JavaScript/HTML5
Proof of concept

Project Solution

Velvetech executed portions of the development plan for two projects: a care coordination application for healthcare providers and a patient-facing mobile app integrated into that product. They implemented a .NET backend on Windows, built the web UI with JavaScript and HTML5, and developed native iOS and Android mobile clients using a Microsoft-integrated mobile platform (Xamarin). The vendor assigned a project manager, a lead developer, a documenter, a client stack specialist for UI, a mobile developer, and other offshore staff, and delivered a proof of concept prior to full engagement.

Project Outcome

Accelerated time to market and built a pipeline expected to keep the client busy until the end of the calendar year.
Delivered high-quality apps that received positive initial user feedback.
Provided UI design and Xamarin-based mobile implementation skills not present internally.
Earned high marks for project management, including resource management and delivery estimates.
