The Challenge
This company wanted to provide more direct-to-consumer experiences so people don’t have to visit a doctor to
get diagnostic tests
With a new patient portal, they envisioned empowering patients with more control to manage their activity, purchase lab tests, and schedule appointments at testing centers.
The Solution
Skookum planned, designed, and developed an
e-commerce platform and self-service patient portal
Now, instead of going to their doctor, patients can go online to purchase urine or blood tests and schedule appointments at testing centers. Then, they can access their results through the portal.
The new platform also has the latest front-end technology and cloud-native architecture for greater scalability.
The Value
The lab’s new direct-to-consumer platform puts patients in control of their diagnostic tests and empowers the company to scale in the future
The experience of shopping for tests and viewing results is now simple, fast, and easy for patients. The platform’s architecture also uses a consistent code framework for easier maintenance and supports shared component libraries for future expansion.
