The Challenge: Outdated Methods in a Fast-Paced Industry

For years, CPD delivery relied on outdated presentations and lengthy virtual sessions - both time-consuming and uninspiring. Health professionals needed a more efficient way to stay up-to-date with industry advancements while managing their demanding schedules. Praktis set out to redefine CPD delivery by providing accessible, engaging, and personalised learning experiences through a health sector mobile app.
Their vision was ambitious: an app that could deliver high-quality video content, automatically track progress, and allow users to set personalised CPD goals. It also needed to be intuitive, scalable, and work seamlessly across devices to ensure wide adoption.

Our Approach: Creating a Health Sector Mobile App

To bring this vision to life, we developed a bespoke mobile app that combined cutting-edge technology with a focus on user experience. Leveraging React Native and the Expo framework, we created a cross-platform app that feels native on both iOS and Android. This ensured compatibility across devices, making the app accessible to all health sector professionals.
WordPress was chosen as the CMS and API, providing a familiar backend for content management. This streamlined approach enabled Praktis to easily manage their library of videos and user data without requiring extensive technical expertise. The integration of third-party tools like Vimeo for video hosting and Mailchimp for communication added to the app's robust functionality, ensuring a seamless user experience.
The result was a modern, scalable health sector mobile app tailored to the unique needs of its users.

Delivering a Seamless User Experience

User experience was at the heart of our development process. We implemented an intuitive interface with a clean, accessible design, ensuring healthcare professionals could navigate the app effortlessly. Features such as personalised dashboards, in-app notifications, and advanced search functionality enhanced usability, allowing users to quickly find relevant content. By prioritising performance optimisation and security, we delivered a mobile app that not only meets industry standards but also provides a seamless and engaging experience for its users.

Overcoming Development Challenges

Creating a health sector mobile app that balances advanced features with simplicity required meticulous planning. One key challenge was ensuring that the app’s sophisticated tracking and goal-setting features remained easy to use. By adopting React Native and the Expo framework, we streamlined the development process while delivering a high-performance app.
Integrating third-party tools like Vimeo and Mailchimp posed additional challenges, as these needed to function seamlessly within the app. Through careful implementation and testing, we ensured that these integrations enhanced the user experience rather than complicating it.
