Hi Rasmus

Hi Rasmus was inspired by the founder's son, Rasmus, who was diagnosed with autism at an early age. His father was fully devoted to lessening the burden on parents, children, and therapists who work with autism and thereby became a founder of an impact enterprise. Today Hi Rasmus benefits children with autism all over the world and provides access to behavioral health consulting services.

HI RASMUS AND FRESHCODE
PARTNERSHIP PATH
Social impact
Freshcode prides to deliver services to people who need medical care at the moment, and that is the most powerful engine to move forward and create the best possible solutions
From consulting
to comprehensive collaboration
Our partnership with Hi Rasmus started as a consulting. Together we identified business problems and their causes, including software development challenges and human resources issues. Eventually, we turned into fully involved project partners providing software development and business management services.
Clear goals and requirements
The client's clear view of a future product, from design and feature set to full app's business logic, is what helped us to achieve set goals together and avoid wasting time and resources.

HIPAA Compliant TeleHealth Solution
We've developed a platform for virtual communication from any location via 1:1 video chats. Calls take place in a secure environment avoiding delays in care and ensuring shared information is protected.
New Subscription and Payment System
The Freshcode team has fully optimized the payment system, subscription model, and therapists' person-hours billing processes.

LIST OF FEATURES WE'VE IMPLEMENTED
  • Live Video. Users communicate with therapists via protected private 1:1 calls that have basic options mute/unmute microphone and turn the camera on/off.
  • Therapy Scheduling. The scheduling option makes it easy for clients to schedule calls with therapists, as well as lasts can easily manage their workload.
  • Push Notifications. Sending push notifications for special announcements and appointments, including invitations to the lessons and 'just in time' reminders so users don't miss scheduled video calls.
  • Optional 2FA. We've implemented basic login features such as providing forgotten password support and the possibility for the user to turn on two-factor authentication optionally.
  • Manager, Therapist, and User Dashboards.
    We designed simple and intuitive dashboards for every type of user depending on their needs and duties.
  • Files Load. Hi Rasmus gives an opportunity to load text and image files with just one tap for tracking and organizing patient history.
  • eSignature. To ensure the integrity of users' documents via Signed URLs service providing limited permission and time (4 hours) to make a request by the person in possession of the URL.
  • Subscription-Based Pricing Model. Users can choose a type of subscription (Basic or Premium) which vary in the number of available lesson hours per month.
  • Internalization. Application is adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes (using Google Translate API).
  • Offline Support. Hi Rasmus is a progressive web application (PWA) which means it's network independent and available offline.

DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES:
ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
HIPAA COMPLIANT APP
Challenge:
Firebase (Google) doesn't sign a business associates agreement (BAA) and is not configurable in a HIPAA-compliant manner.

Solution:
It turned out that Google makes exceptions on a case-by-case basis to accept products as HIPAA-eligible if they have done due diligence. The Freshcode team implemented so-called HIPAA Technical Safeguards, including Access Control, Audit Controls, Integrity, Transmission Security to forestall identity theft and scam. We used IAM in GCP to secure Hi Rasmus data with Firestore and signed BAA to satisfy HIPAA regulatory requirements.

LESSON WE'VE LEARNED
The Freshcode team has endeavored to make a distance training system as interactive as possible and build a community-like Hi Rasmus environment with high-quality parent training and communication. We were focusing on the 3 key aspects:

  • HIPAA-compliance app keeping the privacy of individually identifiable health information
  • user-intuitive interface and simplified UX
  • fully optimized app's productivity

We hope we've successfully contributed to the process of transforming impersonal healthcare consulting into interactive and informal communication.

We believe such products will expand the reach moving past geographical and scheduling constraints and will reshape the industry thanks to innovative digital enhancement.

We thank our client for his clear view of a future product and deep expertise that helps us to achieve all set goals together and continue this partnership with mutual understanding.
