THE CHALLENGE
A healthcare and media company required a visually appealing and user-friendly dashboard for providers and user directory following accessibility standards, and an effective admin panel.
The platform needed advanced features such as search filters for location, specialization, insurance coverage, and preferred therapy modalities to help users find a suitable therapist.
The solution had to be compatible with Google, Outlook Calendar, as well as Google Maps, Monday.com, and other tools. Additionally, the site needed search engine optimization (SEO).
The ultimate product’s goal was to provide accurate mental health information and make a process of searching for therapists as simple as possible.
what was done
The Ralabs team displayed genuine dedication to both the product under development and the mission of our client:
“Choosing Therapy believes improved mental health & wellbeing can be life-changing.”
Every team member was committed to this cause.
Implemented features
Users can find the right therapist using various filters, schedule a video-therapy session or in-person therapy appointment, review therapist profile page with detailed information: experience, videos introductions, photos, and practice details.
Services, pricing, and availability customization for each venue from a single profile.
For sign-ups, self-onboarding, and establishing trust and rapport with potential clients before a real meeting or even appointment request.
For bulk providers import, change requests management, licenses verification, data collection, and providers assistance.
