Telehealth Application Development for a Leading Behavioral Health & Wellness Services Provider

Telehealth Software Development
Overview
The Client

Experion re-engineered a critical telehealth app for a US-based behavioral health and wellness services provider managing over 600,000 calls annually. The legacy system was facing high API traffic, outages, and data-loss risks that affected HIPAA compliance. Through focused telehealth app development, we rebuilt the architecture for scale, reduced infrastructure load, improved resilience, and made the platform easier for care teams to use.

A US-based provider of behavioral health and wellness services, supporting individuals during moments of crisis. Their services are used by over 400 organizations, and the platform manages more than 600,000 calls every year. The system supported multiple operational layers, including a call center application, customer management application, and account builder used by service providers to guide sessions.

Overcoming Challenges with Intelligent Solutions

Challenges

Solutions

Challenges
Legacy architecture under heavy API load The client’s system was handling unusually high API traffic for its user base. For an average of 25–35 concurrent users, the platform was processing around 1.4 to 2.1 million API calls daily, creating performance strain and infrastructure inefficiency.
Solutions
Smarter request handling through browser-side batching
Experion introduced a mechanism to queue and persist commands on the client browser. These were processed as batches using a service worker and synchronized with the server at fixed intervals, reducing unnecessary API calls and improving system efficiency.
Challenges
Frequent outages creating operational risk High request volumes contributed to repeated system outages. In a behavioral health environment, downtime could directly disrupt support workflows and affect service continuity.
Solutions
Scalable telehealth application architecture
We re-engineered the telehealth application with a more scalable and modular architecture, helping the system handle workloads more efficiently while reducing pressure on infrastructure.
Challenges
Data loss affecting HIPAA compliance Some outages resulted in data loss, creating compliance concerns for a platform operating in a sensitive healthcare environment.
Solutions
Resilience mechanism to protect critical data
Experion designed a resilience mechanism to prevent data loss even in worst-case scenarios. This helped strengthen platform reliability and support HIPAA-aligned operations.
Challenges
Authentication built into the API The existing identity server implementation for authentication and authorization was embedded within the API. This was not scalable and contributed to the high volume of system requests.
Solutions
Authentication separated into its own service
We implemented authentication as a separate service, reducing unnecessary load on the core API and improving the overall scalability of the platform.
Challenges
User experience needed a revamp The client wanted the interface redesigned to better support different stakeholders using the system, including care teams, service providers, and operational users.
Solutions
Intuitive UI for stakeholder workflows
As part of the solution re-engineering, Experion designed and developed a more intuitive user interface. The new experience made daily workflows easier to navigate and supported better usability across stakeholder groups.
Challenges
Modernizing without disrupting core functionality The client needed a stronger foundation where future updates and new features could be introduced without affecting core platform behavior.
Solutions
Modular platform foundation
Experion rebuilt the system with modularity in mind, allowing new features and updates to be added more easily while protecting the core functionality of the telehealth platform
