What you should know/do before you start coding with our APIs
Whilst we have designed our APIs to make it easier, faster and cheaper for you to build digital health products, we also understand that it might be more helpful to provide you with our recommended step by step process to follow to build a product using our APIs.
Sample Product Telehealth for mothers
A simple telemedicine service for pregnant women. This app will allow these women to talk to a doctor, ask burning questions, order laboratory investigations and also keep track of their wellness.
List of the key features that are required for the MVP: This is a first step in building any product. For our sample product we will highlight a few: user management, chat/audio/video consults, order laboratory investigations, integrate fitness devices and payment.
Identify which APIs you might need: You can refer to the Getting Started page and Glossary to learn more about the APIs, payloads and what you can do with them. If you need help with one of our product specialist, we can book a session with one.
So for this use case, we will be using he following APIs:
- Patient onboarding

- Send message
- Join audio/video consults - Diagnostics
- Find laboratories
- Order Laboratory investigations
- Get results
