RxPhoto

Photos, forms and notes of every patient in one HIPAA-compliant record - for dermatology, aesthetics, plastic surgery, vein treatment and wound care.

Business context

What the client needed

RxPhoto lets clinics capture, store and share patient photos under HIPAA: guided capture on a phone or a tablet, side-by-side comparisons, and forms and notes tied to each record. We worked on the backend, the web front end and the API behind the mobile app.

Physicians photograph patients at every visit. The photos have to match from visit to visit, stay secure and be ready for the consultation, the insurer or a presentation. RxPhoto combines a mobile app with a secure cloud portal, and catalogues every photo for quick retrieval and on-screen annotation.

User stories

What people do with it

• As a physician, I want each visit's photos to match the last ones, so that I compare before and after side by side.
• As a practice administrator, I want every user action in an audit log, so that I can show who opened which record and when.
• As a doctor, I want a patient report with photos in PDF or PowerPoint, so that I share it with the patient or the insurer.

Key challenges

What made it hard

• 01
  Built for HIPAA work. Photos go straight into the patient's record on a secure cloud portal, and an audit log lets administrators follow every user action.
• 02
  One record for everything. Photos, videos, forms and notes of a patient live in one place instead of separate systems.
• 03
  Reports for people outside the clinic. Patient reports with before-and-after photos export to PDF, JPG or PowerPoint for patients, doctors and insurance companies.
