Project overview

A connected product, built around the real workflow

Medication and pharmacy-service requests need a simpler digital journey without implying that software is providing clinical advice or automatically approving care. Patients need clear status information, while authorised staff need protected queues and reliable records for review.

The platform also handles sensitive account and request data, so authentication, session storage, uploads, permissions and production-readiness controls must be treated as core product requirements.

Solution strategy

We built an Expo/React Native patient application with onboarding, account verification, profile management, medication-request cycles, service discovery, booking requests, secure messaging, notifications and deep-linked updates. Remembered native sessions use secure device storage, while browser sessions avoid persistent refresh-token storage.

A React administration interface supports role-protected pharmacy workflows, medication catalogues, patient records, request queues and notification activity. The framework-free PHP REST API owns authentication, validation, file handling and workflow rules. Patient-facing copy clearly distinguishes a request from prescribing or clinical advice and routes urgent-care expectations to appropriate services.

The brief

What the product needed to achieve

Pharmacy website · Patient mobile app · Staff admin · Custom API

  1. 01

    Make routine medication requests easier to submit from a mobile device.

  2. 02

    Give staff an organised queue instead of fragmented calls and messages.

  3. 03

    Keep patients informed through statuses, notifications and secure communication.

Product ecosystem

Core modules designed as one system

01

Patient onboarding

Account creation, verification, secure sign-in and a patient profile designed for repeat use.

02

Medication requests

A guided request journey with repeat cycles, status visibility and a staff-side review queue.

03

Services and bookings

Service discovery and booking entry points connected to the pharmacy’s wider digital presence.

04

Patient communication

In-app messaging and notifications so important updates remain connected to the request.

Key journey

How the workflow moves

  1. 1

    Patient signs in and submits a medication request

  2. 2

    The request enters the pharmacy staff queue

  3. 3

    Staff review and update its status

  4. 4

    The patient receives the update and can message the pharmacy

Technical architecture

Clear boundaries between each layer

Public layer

Pharmacy website for services, trust information and discovery

Patient layer

Expo and React Native mobile application

Staff layer

React administration interface for requests and communication

Service layer

Framework-free object-oriented PHP API backed by MySQL

Engineering decisions

Details that protect the experience

01

Durable authentication

Verification, access-token refresh and secure native storage support a safer returning-patient experience.

02

Status-led workflow

Each request moves through visible states, reducing ambiguity for both the patient and the pharmacy team.

03

Operational separation

The patient experience and staff workspace share one API while exposing only role-appropriate actions.

Quality and safeguards

Operational details that matter

  • The app supports a request workflow; it does not prescribe or provide clinical advice
  • Production deployment requires HTTPS, least-privilege access, backups and monitoring
  • Real delivery adapters and malware scanning are deployment gates for relevant features

The result

A purpose-built digital product—not a disconnected set of screens

The result is a connected patient and staff workflow: customers can submit and track requests, while pharmacy staff can review and manage them through a dedicated administrative system. The codebase also records explicit production gates for HTTPS, malware scanning, delivery providers, least-privilege credentials and compliance review.
