Our Case Studies

01

Case Study

Multi-Location Medical Practice: Streamlining Operations

Web and React Native Mobile Application

A fast growing medical practice with five locations in St. Louis County came to us facing fragmented systems, duplicate patient records, and manual workflows that slowed their expansion. Their software couldn’t support cross location scheduling or integrate with Missouri’s health data networks.

We built a custom healthcare web and cross-platform mobile app that centralized scheduling, synced patient records, and connected seamlessly with their EHR. Patients could book visits at any location, access their records, and message providers through a mobile app. We also added local insurance checks and pharmacy integrations.

In just three months, the practice saw a 40% drop in admin workload, 35% fewer scheduling errors, and a major boost in patient satisfaction. The scalable system now supports seven locations, driving continued growth across St. Louis.

healthcare app development for novo nordisk

Novo Nordisk - a Fortune 500 Pharma Company

iPad Applications

We helped develop an enterprise sales iPad app for Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk to streamline their product presentations, which helped the company increase their prescription rates. Arkenea architected and shipped a native iPad app in Swift, leveraging SwiftUI for a fluid, brand‑aligned UI and Core Data for secure offline caching of product catalogs. 

Arkenea took an end-to-end, user‑centered approach to design and develop Novo Nordisk’s enterprise iPad app. We began with stakeholder workshops and physician journey mapping to define key presentation flows and data needs. 

From there, our engineers created a modular, offline‑first architecture that caches the full product catalog on device, ensuring reps can present uninterrupted in areas with poor connectivity and seamlessly syncs updates whenever a network is available.

Case Study

Kethan App - AI for Surgeons

AI-first iOS Application

Arkenea helped develop this AI-first iOS application, starting with whiteboard workshops to map the implant‑identification workflow and define a clear solution roadmap.

We then engineered a convolutional neural network driven mobile app for Kethan Solutions that instantly recognizes and matches a wide range of implants from X‑ray images, no matter the angle and displays key details (manufacturer, model, specifications) in under five seconds.

To keep the library up to date, our team built an intuitive admin panel for on‑the‑fly addition of new implant entries, and crafted a friendly UI optimized for gloved use in the OR.

Backed by an image‑processing pipeline tuned for speed and validated against extensive implant datasets, this solution slashes prep time, eliminates guesswork, and elevates patient safety.

MiPHR - Health Management App

iPhone Application

Arkenea led the end‑to‑end design and development of MiPHR, starting with in‑depth user research and wireframes to craft an intuitive UX for calorie tracking and health trends.

We built a robust backend that integrates the USDA food database and QR‑code scanner, plus APIs for smart‑device sync, and layered in Face ID/fingerprint security. Our frontend team delivered a responsive dashboard with dynamic graphs, while our integration specialists implemented automated eFax reporting for seamless provider communication.

Finally, through agile sprints and rigorous QA, we ensured a polished, scalable app that empowers users and keeps care teams informed.

Our consultative approach through the various phases of app development ensure you take the right decision for your application and your business. Our team of healthcare app experts and developers focus on delivering what’s right for your project.

1. DISCOVERY MEETING

We start by understanding your practice, goals, and challenges to ensure the solution fits your needs. We then gather detailed requirements, map out a clear project timeline, and collaborate on key features. To ensure success, we analyze competitors and assess the market, helping your app stand out, stay compliant, and deliver real value to patients and providers.

2. ROADMAPPING

Next, we create a mobile app prototype and a strategic product roadmap to guide development. This includes building interactive wireframes and mapping out the user journey to ensure an intuitive and seamless experience. Through prototyping, we bring your vision to life early on, allowing you to visualize the app’s flow, gather feedback, and make informed decisions before development begins.

3. ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN AND APP DEVELOPMENT

With the foundation in place, we move on to defining the app’s form, function, and layout, ensuring it’s both visually appealing and user-friendly. Our mobile app development team then builds out the front end and back end of the app, creating a seamless and secure user experience. We integrate essential APIs to connect with third-party systems and design a robust database architecture to manage and store data efficiently, all while maintaining healthcare-grade security and HIPAA compliance.

4. BUILDING BLOCKS

Once app development is underway, we begin rigorous testing to ensure the mobile application performs flawlessly. This includes usability testing to validate the user experience, performance testing to ensure speed and stability, functional testing to confirm every feature works as intended, and security testing to safeguard sensitive healthcare data. Our goal is to deliver a reliable, high-performing app that meets the highest standards of quality and compliance.

5. LAUNCH AND MAINTAIN

Finally, we prepare for a smooth launch by planning the deployment process, ensuring data migration is secure, and enabling interoperability with existing healthcare systems. We help with submitting the app to the app stores and continue to support you post-launch with maintenance, updates, and iterations based on user feedback, ensuring your mobile application evolves and remains effective in a dynamic healthcare environment.
