BigRio rapidly expanded the technical capabilities of a leading telehealth provider with our Accelerate Model, managing technology implementation and people. We also delivered custom features for their telehealth platform.
BigRio, a Boston-based consulting firm specializing in data-driven innovation, collaborated with a leading telehealth provider to enhance its digital platform. This client, recognized for their award-winning healthcare platform, connects patients, providers, insurers, and innovators to deliver high-quality, affordable virtual care. In response to the pandemic’s unprecedented demand for telehealth services, the client sought to strengthen and expand their platform, particularly in mental health and automated virtual care solutions.
There has been a surge in demand for telehealth services across health systems in the last few years. Healthcare providers have rapidly adapted to telemedicine as the primary mode of care, compelling the client to react swiftly to provide better patient care. This was an opportunity for the client to scale their platform effectively. The client turned to BigRio, a company with deep expertise in healthcare technology, for a rapid solution. Utilizing BigRio’s proprietary Accelerate Model, the client aimed to upgrade their telehealth platform quickly and securely, ensuring it could meet the increased demands of the market.
BigRio implemented a two-step solution based on the Accelerate Framework:
Building Agile Teams
BigRio rapidly deployed 11 agile Scrum teams comprising over 120 professionals, including software architects, QA specialists, business analysts, and developers. These teams managed technology implementation and day-to-day operations while the client’s leadership focused on strategy and business requirements.
Platform Enhancements
New features were developed to make the telehealth platform more competitive and secure. Key areas of improvement included:
The BigRio team also helped move monolithic architectures to a modern cloud-based microservices platform with many API integrations, modern video platform selection, SDK development, implementation of SMART on FHIR and HL7 integrations with EHR providers, and Q Automation.
More recently, the BigRio team has been assisting in moving the client platform into GovCloud.
