Project Overview
Krratos is an Indian-based platform exclusively focused on physiotherapy, addressing the need for a specialized service that connects physiotherapists and patients. Unlike other general health platforms, Krratos offers a tailored experience specifically for physiotherapists, making it easier for practitioners to manage their practices, offer consultations, and help students enter the market.
The project involved building a user-friendly and scalable web application, leveraging modern technologies such as ReactJS, Node.js, and SQL. The platform allows physiotherapists to register, offer online and offline consultations, and manage their practice. It also includes features for physiotherapy students to launch their careers with the support of career guidance and clinic setup tools.
Challenges
- Specialized Market: Competing with larger platforms like Practo and Lybrate, which offer multiple medical services, Krratos needed to differentiate itself by focusing solely on physiotherapy.
- Support for New Physiotherapists: The platform needed to cater to both established professionals and new physiotherapists looking to set up their practice.
- Efficient Management: Simplifying the user journey from registration to booking consultations, while maintaining ease of use for both patients and physiotherapists.
Our Solution: Custom Web Application for Krratos
We developed a full-stack web application using the following technologies:
- ReactJS: For the front-end, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.
- Node.js: To handle server-side functionality, ensuring scalability as the platform grows.
- SQL: For managing the database, providing efficient storage and retrieval of data related to users, appointments, and consultations.
Key Features:
- Physiotherapist Registration and Profiles: A streamlined process for physiotherapists to create profiles, manage their schedules, and provide both online and offline consultation options.
- Patient Booking System: Patients can easily browse, select a physiotherapist, and book consultations based on their needs.
- Career Development for Physiotherapy Students: A specialized section providing career guidance and tools to help new physiotherapists set up their clinics, both online and offline.
- E-Clinic Setup: Tools for physiotherapists to launch their e-clinic, manage patient appointments, and offer telehealth consultations.
- Patient Reviews and Ratings: A feedback system allowing patients to rate and review physiotherapists, helping build trust within the platform.
Development Process
1. Requirements Gathering
We collaborated closely with the Krratos team to understand their specific needs in the Indian physiotherapy market. Through interviews with stakeholders and analysis of competitive platforms, we identified the unique pain points and opportunities.
2. UI/UX Design
- User-Centered Approach: The design was tailored to ensure both patients and physiotherapists could easily navigate the platform, whether they were booking a consultation or managing their schedule.
- Prototyping and Testing: We conducted user interviews and testing to refine the interface, focusing on accessibility and usability.
3. Development
- ReactJS Front-End: We built a highly responsive and user-friendly interface using ReactJS, allowing users to access the platform smoothly across devices.
- Node.js Backend: Our team used Node.js to build a scalable and efficient backend, ensuring seamless communication between the front-end and the database.
- SQL Database: We implemented a robust SQL-based database to manage and store user profiles, appointments, and feedback efficiently.
4. Testing
We carried out rigorous testing, including functional, security, and load testing, ensuring the platform could handle a growing number of users as it scales.
5. Deployment and Ongoing Support
The platform was deployed with full functionality, and we provided ongoing support to ensure any issues were addressed promptly.
