About the Project
Buried under paperwork and juggling multiple disconnected systems, our client needed a better way to connect therapists with patients. Their vision: a single, user-friendly platform that would replace their separate EHR, booking, and accounting tools.
The goal was simple—make life easier for both mental health professionals and the people seeking their help. This new system would cut administrative headaches while creating a secure, compliant solution that puts therapy, not technology, at the center of the experience.

Technical Debt
The client originally started to work on MVP with another offshore software development company. However, they decided to handover the project to Empeek, since the vendor didn’t delivered. The existing codebase was of poor quality, with significant technical debt and the system needed a significant overhaul.
User Experience
The platform needed to cater to two distinct user groups (professionals and patients) with varying needs. The front-end wasn’t intuitive and simple actions like adding info took up to 3 min due to slow system performance and complicated logic.
Collaboration Model
The client opted for an outsourcing model, leveraging our team’s expertise to develop and improve the system. This approach allowed the client to:
Address significant technical debt and poor code quality identified during an audit.
Benefit from specialized skills without building an in-house team.
Accelerate development and reduce time-to-market by 15%.
