(01) Overview
An electronic medical records platform engineered from scratch and rolled out to multiple clinics — patients, consults, labs, pharmacy and billing in one continuous flow. I led the frontend from first commit.
As lead, I also set the engineering rhythm: architecture reviews, component conventions and the patterns that let a small team ship an enterprise product without an enterprise headcount.
(02) The Challenge
Healthcare software fails when it fights the clinic. Every clinic ran differently, the data is sensitive, and a confusing interface here doesn't cost conversions — it costs care.
(03) Architecture — and why
Redux for medical record state
Charts demand an audit trail — every change to a record is an explicit, replayable action rather than a silent mutation.
GraphQL API layer
A consult screen touches a dozen record shapes; querying exactly what each view needs kept data-dense screens fast.
Role-based views over one record
Reception, doctors, lab and billing each see a focused slice of the same patient record — configured per clinic instead of forked per clinic.
(04) Engineering Highlights
Workflows shaped by shadowing clinics
Screen flows mirror how a visit actually moves through a clinic — registration to triage to consult to fulfilment to billing — so staff adopt the software instead of fighting it.
Data-dense screens that stay legible
A consult view surfaces history, vitals, orders and notes at once — organized so the doctor's next action is always one glance away.
An 80% productivity story
Optimized frontend architecture and workflow-first design cut the clicks and waiting out of daily clinic operations — measured against the processes it replaced.
A second act in realtime
The same team shipped an instant-messaging app that scaled to 1,000+ users and ~100k daily messages within six months — realtime infrastructure lessons that fed back into the EMR.

This platform is internal to Appnovia's clients, so the case study reflects scope and outcomes rather than a public demo — the live link goes to the company site.
