Bringing Healthcare Closer:
Esferasoft’s Journey with TelaDoc
About the Client
TelaDoc is the best virtual health platform that offers convenience, reliability, and immediacy in connecting patients to world medical professionals. Whether it is a case of simple medicine, mental health support, or chronic care management, TelaDoc provides patients with access to board-certified doctors anywhere, anytime. By eliminating barriers like long queues, geographic constraints, and travel expenses, TelaDoc allows quality healthcare to be accessed right from a patient’s mobile device.
The Starting Point
When Esferasoft and TelaDoc teamed up, TelaDoc aimed to build a telemedicine platform that could easily connect people from anywhere in the world for teleconsultation discussions without barriers, clear communication, and seamless integration of various types of medicine. There are a couple of major challenges that TelaDoc faced, including:
- One of the major challenges was that the platform could not completely reach quality healthcare in remote or underserved areas.
- It was very difficult to create a compliant healthcare platform for HIPAA and GDPR.
- It lacked the scalable infrastructure for managing high user concurrency.
- Diverse device types, connectivity issues, and language are examples of the factors behind inconsistent user experience.
Pharmacy delivery, lab tests, and insurance verification are integrated functionalities that we need. TelaDoc wanted more than a mobile application – it wanted an extensive digital health ecosystem.
Our Journey Begins
Esferasoft quickly realised that this vision of TelaDoc did not rest just on technology. Instead, it offered a grand opportunity to democratise global access to healthcare through innovative digital solutions. Scoping user needs, compliance requirements, and needs for scalability formed the basis of the groundwork strategy.
Discovery & Insights
The first discovery phase was to conduct a complete analysis of the following critical questions:
Disconnected OperationsÂ
Can TelaDoc provide real-time video and audio consultations while maintaining quality?
Scalability Issues
What features would make the healthcare service equal for users and doctors?
Data Fragmentation
What would meet international standards concerning healthcare data protection (HIPAA & GDPR)?
Manual Processing & Delays
Which integrations would be crucial for a holistic virtual healthcare experience?
In-depth market research, audits of user journeys, and interviews with stakeholders would yield the insights that form the basis of the strategic development roadmap.

Execution & Innovation
Esferasoft’s innovative technology execution in association with TelaDoc:
Cross-Platform Mobile Application
Flutter is the framework used in developing the app. It enables identical deployment on both iOS and Android platforms, thus providing a faster route for feature expansion.
Dedicated Role-Based Dashboards
The dashboards were designed such that both patients and healthcare professionals could use them. Appointment scheduling, e-prescription, payment management, and complete case history management were part of the dashboards.
AI-Powered Symptom Checker
Enabling intelligent triaging in-app makes for early self-assessment of conditions before seeing a doctor.
Secure Video & Audio Calling
(WebRTC)
Real-time secure low-latency communication ensures reliable consulting with a smooth interaction between patient and doctor.
Scalable Cloud Framework (AWS, Kubernetes)
Leveraging AWS via Kubernetes orchestration in a microservices architecture offers excellent scalability, reduced downtime, and responsiveness under peak demand.
International Compliance (HIPAA & GDPR)
Adhering to international standards assures patient data privacy and regulatory compliance, thus instilling faith and trust.
Roadblocks We Navigated
Both in terms of network conditions and other factors, a stable and high-quality environment always facilitated the evolving domains of virtual consultation delivery.
We ensured that the performance and user-friendliness remained uncompromised, all the while adhering to strict worldwide healthcare data standards.
An interface that is multilingual and intuitive at best manages to capture the attention of users around the globe, requiring little to no input from them.
We were able to tie disparate partners, including labs, pharmacies, and insurance validation, without ever interrupting the flow of the user experience.
Esferasoft has successfully navigated these hurdles through iterative feedback, strategic collaboration, and technological agility.
The Impact & Results
Our strategic partnership transformed TelaDoc from a visionary idea into a fully operational telehealth solution in compliance with international standards.
It succeeded in providing thousands around the world with access to quality virtual healthcare.
We accomplished a high level of seamless multilingual and multi-device compatibility for global users. Such actions increased engagement at all points on the globe.
Our work increased the already excellent patient experience with real-time consultations, secured by intelligent features, enabled through AI.
We built a solid backbone that could easily scale to handle the increasing traffic, ensuring the user a seamless experience.
So TelaDoc can now be reputed as the best virtual healthcare provider bridging medical accessibility gaps across the world.
