Modernizing a World-First Digital Therapeutics Platform with Node.JS and React

About Client

Established in 2018, the InsideOut Institute is Australia’s national research center for eating disorders. InsideOut’s mission is to “Transform the prevention, early intervention and treatment landscape for people with eating disorders in Australia and to find a cure through innovative research, collaboration and an enduring path of inquiry.” It is funded by federal and state governments, along with numerous philanthropic grants.

The InsideOut eClinic is a world-first eTherapy platform delivering evidence-based therapy for people with eating disorders around the world.

The Institute comprises a team of expert researchers, clinicians, and public policy-makers committed to ensuring every person with an eating disorder has access to the best possible care. InsideOut maintains a Treatment Services Database to help individuals connect with therapists, clinics, hospitals, and community programs. Their mission is further supported by a Learning Management System (LMS) which disseminates innovative training for health professionals in the identification, assessment, and treatment of people with eating disorders.

The Challenge

We took the project over from the previous team. The process of transferring the work was challenging in itself. The system had to be continuously developed, while the developers and process were changing. During the development, we also encountered several challenges connected to performance and business optimization.

The main ones where:

• integrating the project into our development framework
• lack of Regional Passes offers
• lack of website translations to various popular languages
• old versions of the framework

They needed a complete redesign of their website and platform, which would help them differentiate themselves from the competition and establish their brand as a credible player in the industry.

Dev Process

We Started With Code

Our goal was to build a compelling product story that removed users from the idea of paying rent or managing a property and instead, transported them to a place where these tasks were actually exciting. How do we make paying rent rewarding? How do we create an experience where finding a tenant rewarding or closing on a broker commission is rewarding beyond the financial gain but on an emotional level?

Outcome

According to Markets and Markets, the global digital therapeutics market size is projected to exceed USD $17 billion by 2027, with a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 31.6%. Virtual therapy like InsideOut helps in offsetting healthcare costs which are on the rise globally, along with the prevalence of chronic diseases and disorders.

InsideOut shows how local governments, universities, and charitable foundations can team up to have a national impact. It’s estimated that 4%, or 1.2 million of Australia’s 25.7 million inhabitants, have eating disorders. The efforts of Sydney Local Health District and the University of Sydney, along with charitable organizations, however, have reached over 135,000 health professionals with their eLearning courses since 2018.

We are pleased to help organizations and partnerships fill the growing demand for virtual health services with high quality software development that’s surprisingly economical.
