Doctor Home Visits: Patient App, Doctor App and a Laravel API

A patient picks a service and marks where it hurts. A doctor accepts, drives over, prescribes and gets paid. Two apps, one Laravel API, and three contracts with the same startup.

Two Apps, One Visit

The product sends a doctor to the patient's home. The patient app requests the visit and follows it; the doctor app receives it, runs it and closes it. Both talk to one Laravel API, and both run in Spanish and English.

The Patient App

The patient chooses a service: a doctor visit, an ambulance, medical history, appointments or prescriptions. For a visit they point at the affected area on a body map, choose symptoms, and confirm the address. Once a doctor accepts, the app shows who is coming, their rating and experience, and where they are on the map.

The Doctor App

The doctor sees each incoming visit with the symptoms, the reason for the consultation and the patient's medical coverage, then goes to the patient's location. At the end they add a prescription, and the app totals the consultation and the travel fee and takes the payment.

The Laravel API

Laravel with Passport bearer tokens, separate registration for patients and doctors, and endpoints for finding doctors, updating location, creating and assigning appointments, adding medication and rating the visit. Payments ran through Stripe and a local gateway for the client's market. Live updates went over Socket.io, and push over FCM.

Three Contracts

The first contract built the API. The second added payments. The third redesigned both apps on top of the same API without breaking anything patients were already using. Extending a live system three times is a better test of a backend than building it once.

A Note on the Images

The screens were redrawn from the project source code. Layouts, colours, icons and labels come from the code; names, addresses and amounts are sample data.

Patient and provider apps, scheduling, location and payments on one backend. Baydot has shipped that shape and kept it running through redesigns.
