Bringing Specialist Medical Expertise to the Patient’s Doorstep Through a Secure, Scalable Virtual Care Platform

Industry: Healthcare – Telemedicine & Remote Consultation

Region: North America

Engagement: Full-stack development and deployment of a HIPAA-compliant teleconsultation and second-opinion web platform.

Technology Stack Overview

Frontend: WordPress CMS, ReactJS (interactive patient modules)

Backend: PHP, Node.js, Django micro-services for API orchestration

Database: MySQL / PostgreSQL

Cloud Infrastructure: AWS Lightsail and S3 (storage & content delivery)

Security Layer: SSL encryption, user-role authentication, encrypted medical data exchange

Integrations: Zoom / WebRTC for live video consults, payment and scheduling modules

Challenge

Specialist medical care was often inaccessible due to:

• Limited availability of expert consultants across regions

• Long appointment wait times and fragmented second-opinion workflows

• Lack of digital infrastructure for remote collaboration between doctors and patients

• Data security and privacy concerns in transmitting sensitive medical information

The goal was to build a trusted digital healthcare platform where patients could seamlessly obtain primary and secondary medical consultations from specialists through a secure online interface.

Solution

A comprehensive Virtual Consultation & Second-Opinion Platform was designed and deployed, combining patient-facing simplicity with clinical-grade backend systems.

3. Virtual Consultation Engine
