Direct2Care stands as a key innovator in the virtual healthcare landscape, offering an accessible telehealth app on both Android and iOS platforms. Our mission was a balanced yet impactful transition from their previous development agency's reactive and feature-focused approach to our more structured, sprint-based process. This shift was designed to elevate Direct2Care's operational efficiency, empowering their team to focus more on growth through marketing and sales, and less on the burdens of administrative challenges and bug fixes. This case study delves into how our partnership with Direct2Care led to a significant leap forward in their journey toward success.
