What makes ScienceSoft different
We achieve project success no matter what
ScienceSoft does not pass mere project administration off as project management, which, unfortunately, often happens on the market. We practice real project management, achieving project success for our clients no matter what.
Equation for Effective Patient Engagement
At ScienceSoft, we have discovered a formula that multiplies three major elements of effective engagement:
PATIENT ENGAGEMENT = TECHNOLOGY * INFORMATION * MOTIVATION
Healthcare organizations deepen the bonds with patients through information and software tools, encouraging them to communicate and take charge of their own well-being.
Technology
Choosing the suitable tech solution, caregivers might consider implementing either one or both the following solutions:
- Custom Mobile Applications;
- Custom Patient Portals.
Information
Customized software has the advantage of bringing additional value to patients. The access to personal health data via integrated EHR/EMR systems gives care consumers a reason to engage with providers on a higher level.
Motivation
Packing fresh ideas into a sleek UI, we should also remember about user-friendly features. Adding a few gamification elements, such as achievements, badges, challenges and sharing options, into a custom solution helps to increase the population’s health awareness easily.
Closer to Patients: Mobile Applications
Changing the way health professionals and patients interact is not something rebellious. It is a matter of course, and ScienceSoft’s caregiving clients have already been expanding their services, products and platforms into the mobile environment.
When planning breakthrough patient engagement apps, our clients find it difficult to stick to out-of-the-box products. Mobile standards evolve rapidly, and though ready-made apps could provide a carefully designed UI and a UX with an optimal set of features, you might end up launching an already outdated product. Moreover, an engaging mobile app has to provide motivational elements, which are not usually included in off-the-shelf sets.
Mobile apps ease up your patients’ daily healthcare routine:
- Health monitoring;
- Physical wellness and fitness;
- Special diet and nutrition needs;
- Appointment manager with schedules and reminders;
- Online payments;
- Overview of test results, medications and immunization history;
- Access to personal and family health record information;
- Remote consultations;
- Health education (through gamification elements).
Patient engagement apps ensure synchronization with various health tracking tools including wearable technologies, which makes people more excited about managing their well-being:
Physical activity
Blood glucose level
Blood pressure and heart rate
Mood
Sleep
Distant Care: Patient Portals
Healthcare organizations are often tempted to choose ready-made software solutions, which might enable a quicker website launch. However, it often leads to such pitfalls as insufficient functionality, poor UI and hidden costs.
At ScienceSoft we realize that care providers and health organizations arrange their internal processes differently. We have mastered the custom healthcare web development expertise to deliver useful features supported by transparent pricing and full compliance with HIPAA, ICD-10, and other regulatory standards.
Our customized patient portals offer not only 24/7 electronic access to health records but also the resources that care consumers need for daily management of their disease:
Patient-facing features
- Lab results
- Prescription refill request form
- Online self-registration
- Appointment scheduling form
- Online payment options
- Social media integration
- Interactive education
- “Ask Your Doctor” – patient Q&A system
- Other custom features
Backend functionality
- EHR / EMR data integration
- CRM / Loyalty systems
- Secure communication with physicians, exchange of lab and X-ray results

Our Clients Say
bioAffinity Technologies hired ScienceSoft to help in the development of its automated data analysis software for detection of lung cancer using flow cytometry.
