The Challenge

A healthcare app built
the right way from day one

HealthPlus had a clear vision: a patient engagement platform connecting patients with their care team, managing appointments, and securely sharing health records. Building it correctly meant navigating GDPR, NHS Digital standards, and healthcare-grade encryption from the very first line of code.

  • Zero existing infrastructure — building a production-grade healthcare platform from scratch
  • GDPR Article 25 and NHS Digital compliance required at launch, not bolted on afterwards
  • End-to-end encryption mandatory for all patient health data in transit and at rest
  • Simultaneous iOS and Android launch required — no phased or platform-first rollout
  • Biometric auth, real-time push notifications, and a care team admin portal all in scope
CHALLENGE: Healthcare Compliance + Speed

Most healthcare apps get compliance wrong — they build first and audit later, leading to expensive rework, launch delays, or regulatory blockers. HealthPlus needed a partner who understood that compliance architecture is a first-class engineering concern, not a checklist added at the end.

"We'd been burned before by agencies who promised GDPR compliance and delivered something we couldn't take to market. We needed engineers who understood healthcare, not just developers."

Our Solution

Compliance-first architecture,
shipped in 14 weeks

We built HealthPlus as a Flutter cross-platform app with a GDPR-ready Azure backend — end-to-end encrypted, biometric authentication, real-time notifications, and a full care team admin portal. Everything in 14 weeks, on budget, and fully certified.

01

Compliance Architecture

Designed the full data architecture around GDPR Article 25 data-protection-by-design principles — encryption schemas, data minimisation, audit trails, and consent management built into the foundation.

02

Flutter Cross-Platform App

Built the patient-facing app in Flutter — single codebase for iOS and Android. Biometric auth (Face ID / fingerprint), appointment booking, secure messaging, and health record viewing all included.

03

Azure Encrypted Backend

GDPR-ready Azure backend with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, Azure Active Directory B2C for identity, and Event Grid for real-time push notification delivery at scale.
