A structured proof of concept for a digital booking service - validated with clients and call-centre staff before committing to a large technology implementation.

Appointments could only be made by telephone, limiting access for clients and loading the call centre - but a full build was too big a commitment to make on assumption.
Digit Concept - requirements engineering, solution architecture, UI/UX design and proof of concept
We mapped the existing booking journey with stakeholders and prospective users, defined actors and use cases, explored compliance and authentication requirements, and worked out how a new service could run alongside existing systems.
The selected "smart start" concept paired an online booking application for eligible members of the public with an optimised booking application for call-centre staff, on a foundation that could support future services without making them a requirement of the first release. BreastScreen SA received a validated product concept and a clickable prototype rather than an abstract proposal.
This engagement delivered a concept and prototype.
A user-validated concept for coordinating appointments across DASSA and its NGO partners - connecting disparate calendars instead of forcing everyone onto one system.

Demand had grown without a matching increase in staff, and appointment availability sat across providers on different calendars - making it hard to place clients in real time.
Digit Concept - requirements engineering, solution architecture, UI/UX design and proof of concept
We worked with DASSA stakeholders across the whole service journey, from the first telephone contact through to placement with an appropriate provider, paying particular attention to the practical realities of connecting multiple organisations each with its own processes and calendar technology.
The concept centred on an integrated booking capability through which DASSA employees and participating NGOs could view and coordinate suitable appointments - connecting disparate calendars rather than forcing a single operational system on everyone. DASSA received a user-validated concept, a clickable prototype and a technical direction that could be developed in controlled stages.

Health services are judged on access and trust. So is the technology behind them.
