All-in-One Healthcare Mobile App with Gamification
Background Info
Our company was chosen by a US-based digital healthtech startup for the development of a mobile app made for patients who need to be in contact with a doctor or self-monitor their health. This included building two versions (for Android and iOS), as well as integrating it with an existing web application. The existing web version already performed several healthcare functions, while the mobile app expanded upon them and made the overall experience portable.
Our additional objectives included creating and implementing a reward system, gamification elements, quest mechanics, chat with an assigned doctor, booking appointments, check-ups and more.
As a result we created an app that was a comprehensive virtual assistant that handles many of the key tasks associated with clinical care, saving costs and providing convenience to patients.

Approach and Solution
We built two native mobile apps for iOS and Android with one clear goal: make healthcare simple, engaging, and accessible to everyone. At the heart of the app is a chat system that keeps patients and doctors connected in real time, supported by a clean, intuitive interface that even first-time users can navigate with ease.
To encourage daily use, we introduced playful, game-like elements that turn routine care into something enjoyable:
- Quest system: Personalized challenges adapted to each patient’s condition, from logging vital signs and taking medication to scheduling a quick check-in with a doctor.
- Virtual pet companion: A friendly animated pet whose well-being depends on users completing their health tasks. Unlockable rewards and upgrades kept the experience fun while reinforcing healthy habits.
Alongside these features, we added practical tools like short health quizzes that boost awareness and simple panels for tracking weight, blood pressure, pulse, glucose levels, and more. These functions gave patients both guidance and control in one place.
The result was more than just a healthcare app, it became a trusted virtual assistant that blended medical support with engaging experiences, motivating patients to stay consistent and making everyday health management feel less like a burden and more like a positive routine.
