DocConnect is an online consultation platform that delivers the doctor app and patient app from a single codebase. With real-time MQTT messaging, it integrates symptom-image sharing, booking-slot management, and consultation history — lowering the barrier to care while maximizing doctor resources.
To resolve care limited to in-person visits, no image sharing in phone consults, unusable doctor downtime, and scattered records, we partnered with the online-care operator to build the platform in-house from scratch in 10 months.
An operator that bundles medical institutions and a network of contracted doctors to deliver online medical services to patients. Covering multiple departments such as internal medicine, dermatology, and psychosomatic medicine, it brings easy-to-use healthcare to people who find it hard to visit clinics or hesitate to see a doctor for mild symptoms.
With the existing phone-consultation and in-person referral services, the issues were constraints on conveying symptom information, underused doctor resources, and scattered consultation records. Building a high-quality, smartphone-complete online consultation platform in-house was the key to business growth.
Built the doctor and patient apps in parallel within a single React Native project (private/doctor + private/patient split), real-time chat over MQTT on a NestJS backend, images stored in S3-compatible storage, API processes managed with PM2. Consultation history kept as a ledger with TypeORM + MySQL.
