Baker Health
Rebuilding the patient and doctor apps for a 24/7 primary care practice
The Challenge
An offshore engineering team struggled to deliver reliable features on time, leading to slow sprint cycles and frequent production issues.
Legacy iOS and Android apps built on Swift 1 and Java crashed often and were costly to maintain.
Solution
Transitioned from the offshore team to a local engineering team with clear delivery standards.
Replaced WhatsApp with Slack, and ad hoc releases with structured branching and CI/CD pipelines.
Rebuilt the patient and doctor apps with real-time chat, scheduling and media sharing, integrated with the athenahealth EMR.
