Medical staff often handle a high volume of fragmented tasks—such as phone calls, appointment scheduling, and prescription requests—simultaneously. medflex needed to identify a way to consolidate these requests without disrupting their existing messenger success. However, their internal resources were fully committed to a major backend infrastructure project. This required an external partner capable of managing the entire process—from identifying the right product expansion to executing the implementation—without creating technical dependencies for the internal team.

The collaboration resulted in a comprehensive communication hub that transforms administrative workflows into a structured, asynchronous process. By moving away from real-time phone interruptions toward a managed inbox, medical teams achieved a significant increase in daily operational efficiency.

Key deliverables and outcomes include:

Structured Practice Inbox

‍A centralized dashboard that allows the practice team to bundle, delegate, and process patient inquiries asynchronously. This ensures that tasks are handled with focus and clarity, reducing stress for the medical team.

Integrated Patient Widget

‍A customizable, encapsulated mini-app that practices can integrate directly into their websites. This allows patients to initiate specific requests, such as follow-up prescriptions or appointment bookings, through a user-friendly interface.

Enhanced Data Quality

‍By guiding users through structured forms, the system ensures that all relevant patient data arrives complete and ready for processing, eliminating the need for time-consuming follow-up inquiries.

Market Attractiveness

‍The expansion successfully addressed the medical office staff as a new, influential target group, significantly increasing the platform’s market appeal and utility within the digital healthcare ecosystem.

By bundling inquiries and enabling asynchronous processing, medflex has transitioned from a pure messenger app into a holistic provider in the digital healthcare system. This transformation has not only improved the daily work lives of medical teams but has also provided patients with a faster, more convenient way to resolve their healthcare needs.

Our partnership began with an intensive discovery phase. We conducted a competitive analysis and extensive user research along the patient journey to identify the most pressing pain points. A key strategic insight was the pivotal role of the medical office team; by focusing on their efficiency, we could drive broader adoption of the medflex platform.

Based on these insights, we developed a holistic, user-driven recommendation for a product extension. To ensure rapid delivery despite the client's internal resource constraints, a cross-functional DPM team led the implementation. We developed the solution as an encapsulated widget, ensuring a seamless integration into the core product without technical dependencies. This allowed medflex to maintain its focus on infrastructure while we delivered a high-impact, scalable feature set that could be easily managed and further developed internally.
