Psychotherapy just right for you!

Project Overview

Wellbee.pl is a web application that allows users to schedule an online session with a psychologist. The platform connects patients suffering from psychiatric problems with highly selected psychotherapists who are there to help solve those problems. It allows scheduling online sessions between patients and doctors without having to leave the comfort of your own sofa. Patients can filter therapists by their expertise and other features and appoint meetings within a few clicks.

The challenge

Surging number of mental disorders

We live in extremely disturbing times. We are stressed by our work, university, relationships, and now pandemic. Recently doctors have noticed an increase in the number of people facing some psychological hardships in their lives who fall into depression, yet are unable, hesitant, or scared to contact a psychiatrist.
Obviously the pandemic is not making things easier. Quite on the contrary, lockdown and social distancing have significantly contributed to growth in the number of various mental problems.

Solution

Breakthrough in the classical approach to psychotherapy

Wellbee goes forward and offers a helping hand to those struggling with depression, and encourages them to take care of their mental health. It perfectly fits into the pandemic times and a growing trend to go online and provide services remotely. Wellbee offers psychotherapeutic sessions from the comfort of your own home.
All you need is your computer and an Internet connection to join a call with a psychiatrist who is ready to help you.

Advanced WordPress customization

Cross-system integrations and API connectivity

Online psychotherapy is still an untapped market in Poland. The founders of Wellbee.pl reached out to us as they wanted to build an app with modern, eye-catching designs that can attract young people across the country. Moreover, they needed an app that automates and simplifies the work of an internal team.
We created a therapist panel integrated with G-Suite which triggers numerous advantages, e.g. the app pulls free appointment slots from Google Calendar of the therapists to be chosen by the patients. It also cooperates with Google Analytics, Google Meet, and more.
We have also set up a connection with a payment gateway via Stripe. Information about payments issued by each client is stored in the admin panel. What is more, a therapist’s salary – a fixed percentage of the sum of money from his therapies – is calculated and paid out automatically at the beginning of each month.
Integration with Gmail and Sendgrid lets the Product Owners stay in touch with their clients and triggers both communication and marketing advantages.

Technologies

Various modern technologies have been used to build the Wellbee.pl platform:

• We have also set up a connection with a payment gateway via Stripe. Information about payments issued by each client is stored in the admin panel.
• What is more, a therapist’s salary – a fixed percentage of the sum of money from his therapies – is calculated and paid out automatically at the beginning of each month.
• For the front-end, we have implemented the following technologies: Vue.js + Vuetify and React.js + Next.js. Vue.js is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, it is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. Vuetify is a reusable semantic component framework for Vue.js which helps provide clean and reusable components.
• React.js is a JavaScript library created by Facebook used for building user interfaces or UI components. It can be used as a base in the
  development of single-page or mobile applications. Next.js is based on React, Webpack, and Babel and it allows programmers to start a project in a very simple way since there is no need to configure anything as one only has to execute simple commands so that the project is ready.
• Finally, the app has been deployed on the Google Cloud Platform.
