Project background
Seeing your own therapist is no longer something to hide from the world or be ashamed of. It is similar to visiting your dentist, lawyer, or banker. But where do we get such a therapist according to our ideas? The team of #delamcomuzu also asked this question, but instead of choosing a simple answer, they addressed theteams of StrideXL and Notum, and together they created a web platform. An application that is not designated solely for searching a therapist according to various criteria, but also for ordering a therapist session. Everything is done in a really easy, quick and most importantly... clear way!
"The pandemic has made many areas of our therapeutic work very difficult for us.We feel the restrictions mainly on the level of loss of personal contact withclients. On the other hand, this whole situation has led to more extensive use ofmodern technologies, which can to some extent compensate for this loss. TheNotum team was then able to create a very user-friendly and eye-pleasingwebsite, thanks to which I can easily connect with my clients. This applicationmakes it even easier for me to make appointments, thanks to the reservationsystem. The profile on the website itself serves as my personal business card.”

Problem:
So far, there has been no clear and easy-to-use system that would, on the one hand, make it easier for clients to find psychotherapy and, on the other hand, connect therapists within the professional community. The impetus for its creation was, among other things, the situation caused by the restrictions during the pandemic, which emphasized the importance of functioning in the online world. Our goal was to create a space that will serve well not only in these difficult times but also in times when the measures will be released and people will be able to meet face to face again.
Solution:
The Terapie.cz app represents a complex application serving the needs of therapists and their clients. The interface offers registration and creating a profile, calendar setup, and a clear reservation system to make communication with clients easier. A therapist also can start a private conversation with their clients instead of e-mailing. The application saves time for both parties. The priority for us within the portal remains confidentiality and simplicity. Given the professional engagement of the founders, we are proud that we can offer education to the therapists through the publication of paid/free webinars (all free for premium members) and the promotion of study materials, meetups or other events.
For our clients, the application represents an aggregator of therapists and their services in one safe place. It is fully accommodable given the possibility of filtering specific requirements, topics, types of therapy, place, language, etc. Guide and direct communication with support through Smartsupp is available for anyone every workday. Moreover, the app Terapie.cz may be useful in connecting therapists with each other and across the community.
Development began in September 2020 and continues. With respect to the pandemic situation, it was crucial launching the service on the market as soon as possible. Our standard development consists of two-week sprints, our approach is agile, this procedure allows us to react with flexibility to emerging changes. A well-coordinated team of people, whose priority is to move the application constantly forward, is dedicated to this project. Due to agile development, we have chosen the open-source Node.js Framework Strapi, which proved to be the most suitable variant for our application. This option facilitated our development and saved a few weeks of programming.
The application is developed in Nuxt.js, a powerful framework for Vue.js. Considering the front-end implementation, we use the Ant Design library, which our developers partially customize. The application design was created by StrideXL. As part of such easygoing cooperation, we focus on user testing concerning both sides, therapists and their clients, and high quality UX and UI. To innovate and improve the application, we evaluate data from Google Analytics and Hotjar weekly for better user flow, so we do not rest on our laurels.
