Overview

#HEALTH Now UK is Hashtag Health's subscription GP service. Members speak to a qualified doctor remotely at any hour, for themselves or their children under 18, and leave with advice, a treatment plan and, when needed, a prescription sent to a pharmacy or to their door. We delivered the member app for iPhone and Android and the admin dashboard behind it.

02

The challenge

Waiting days for a GP slot, then travelling to a surgery, doesn't fit around work, school runs or travel. Hashtag Health wanted a subscription that removes both the wait and the trip, and that carries the patient all the way to medication rather than stopping at advice.

03

Our approach

We kept the member experience to a few clear steps (book, consult, get treated) and let the subscription handle access, so members never have to think about cost per visit.

04

How we built it

3 steps, from architecture to launch.

  1. 01

    A member app on Flutter

    One codebase covers booking, consultations, history and family profiles on iPhone and Android.

  2. 02

    Subscriptions through the stores

    RevenueCat manages in-app subscriptions and unlocks unlimited consultations on both platforms.

  3. 03

    Operations dashboard

    A React admin lets the team manage member accounts, backed by a Node.js and TypeScript API on MongoDB.

Technical challenges

Problem → How we solved it
01

Removing the wait

Problem

Surgery appointment slots meant waiting days for routine advice.

How we solved it

Doctors are reachable remotely around the clock, so members aren't limited by surgery hours.

02

One plan for the family

Problem

Parents needed cover for their children as well as themselves.

How we solved it

A single membership covers the account holder and dependants under 18, each with their own profile.

03

Ending at treatment, not advice

Problem

Advice is little help if getting the medicine is still a chore.

How we solved it

GPs can prescribe within the app, with the prescription routed to a nearby pharmacy or delivered.
