# Bookings and healthcare assistance

A scalable platform that connects patients and professionals to manage healthcare at home, in facilities and via video consultations.

## Key numbers

To be successful, a project must have measurable metrics

- **800+** Professionals onboarded
- **30k+** Services delivered
- **6** Cities covered
- **20+** Medical disciplines

## The challenge

The starting point

Coordinating home social-healthcare assistance is not a trivial web-directory problem. When a patient needs care, the time expectation is stringent. But the real technological challenge hides "under the hood": managing a large team of self-employed healthcare professionals in a transparent and scalable way.

## The problem we found

The Gordian knot to untie was twofold. On one side: each specialist operates under a different tax regime (flat-rate VAT, stamp duties, collaboration, etc.), imposing invoicing logic, credit notes and split payments accurate to the cent. On the other side: guaranteeing timely delivery of consultations, both physical and video, integrating different disciplines without operational bottlenecks.

### Reduce administrative friction to zero

Fully automate the tax complexities, invoice generation and split payment (via Stripe), letting professionals focus only on care.

### Guarantee fast and precise interventions

Design a real-time management system that optimizes the matching between the patient's urgency and the doctor's geolocated availability.

### Consolidate clinical experiences

Develop a unified platform, including encrypted streaming for 1-to-1 video consultations directly in the platform, eliminating tool fragmentation.

### Scaffolding a resilient infrastructure

Architect cloud and database from scratch, capable of orchestrating 30,000+ services simultaneously, scaling without degradation.

## Do you have a complex marketplace to validate?

Building an infrastructure that unites clinical needs and tricky transactional nodes doesn't allow "standard" solutions. If you're scaling a HealthTech platform or a mission-critical B2B marketplace, tell us about your challenge.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about the project

### How did you handle the taxation of Italian professionals?

We designed a custom backend engine on Node.js, integrated with Stripe and Fatture in Cloud. During onboarding, the system profiles each specialist's regulatory regime; at every transaction, it dynamically orchestrates financial flows and document production, eliminating any manual reconciliation work.

### What does it mean to introduce a video-consultation system?

It means going well beyond secure, encrypted streaming. We added a real-time chat layer and transactional emails alongside the video call. Information and prescriptions exchanged during the session converge into automatic reminders sent at the end of the consultation, centralizing the entire booking cycle (virtual or in person) in a single platform and eliminating the need for external tools (Google Meet, Teams, WhatsApp and the like).

### How do professionals interact with patients and administration?

Through a dedicated App developed in React Native. This centralizes clinical operations (emergency alerts, visit acceptance) and the bureaucratic cycle: downloading invoices transacted via Stripe, monitoring fees and contacting the support desk. We automated the infrastructure to make the delivery and accounting-management flow as natural and simple as possible.
