A Scalable Healthcare Consultation Portal
Project Overview
Digitobit designed and developed a full-fledged healthcare portal focused on delivering structured cancer-related information and online consultation services. The project was initiated over 7 years ago, and our team provided continuous development and maintenance until its recent transition to a new team.
The platform was aimed at empowering patients with access to cancer treatment options, doctor listings, hospital directories, and digital consultations. It also evolved into a broader telemedicine platform supporting general health consultations, particularly during the COVID-19 lockdown.
