The Challenge & Context

The Problem

Patients faced a clunky third-party scheduling widget that dropped 30% of booking attempts and lacked seamless integration with provider calendar workflows.

Project Constraints

Key Constraints

  • Full HIPAA compliance, encryption at rest and in transit
  • Integration with legacy HL7 / FHIR clinical record systems
  • Elderly patient demographic demanding high accessibility standards (WCAG AAA contrast)
Solution Architecture

Technical Approach & Execution

Engineered a secure, accessible web portal utilizing Next.js, WebRTC encrypted video connections, and end-to-end audit logging.

Phase 01

Accessible Self-Service Scheduling

Designed a multi-step booking funnel meeting WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards with full keyboard and screen reader support.

Phase 02

Encrypted Telehealth Consultation Room

Built peer-to-peer WebRTC video rooms with end-to-end encryption and automatic fallback to TURN relay servers.

Infrastructure Topology

Cloud & Deployment

  • Dedicated HIPAA-hardened AWS ECS cluster
  • PostgreSQL with KMS encryption
  • Twilio WebRTC Video Infrastructure
