Project description

Perkk Check is a brand belonging to Canadian not-for-profit health solutions partner - Medavie Inc. The product developed by Apzumi is a web-based platform dedicated to health assessment with the use of any device with camera and internet access. 

The application developed by Apzumi presents visual test results through categorized graphs. It offers a detailed history and long-term analytics of user outcomes, assessing overall health risks. Users also benefit from a Health Hub, a repository of health-related medical articles.

The application features six user panels: patient, home care admin, health provider, wellness employee, wellness admin, and super admin. The first three are for home care services, the next two for the benefit system, and the last for managing all app users efficiently.

The Perkk Check platform utilizes Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI™) technology. Based on just a 30-second video scan from your phone, tablet, or computer, along with a brief five-question mental health assessment, this technology offers a comprehensive overview of your overall health and wellness. As a result, the app generates over 30 health indicators grouped into 6 distinct categories.

About the problem

Perkk Check’s app offers solutions to two unique problems:

  1. It simplifies monitoring "home patients"
    Nurses or social workers from home care agencies can oversee clients' health status, even if they aren't qualified physicians. Perkk Check was created to help by using facial scans to monitor vital health indicators. If a problem is detected, caregivers can refer the patient to a doctor or hospital.
  1. Perkk Check is a unique health benefit for company employees
    Organizations can promote a healthy lifestyle by providing access to the Perkk Check system, which monitors health status confidentially. No employee or admin can access individual results. Companies can personalize the platform by selecting health indicators and applying their own branding.
Project scope
Step 1
Document Digitalization

The first step involved converting scanned documents into digital formats using OCR technology. This phase was crucial due to the diverse nature and quality of the scanned documents. Advanced OCR solutions were employed, capable of handling various text formats, handwriting, and even low-quality scans, ensuring high accuracy in digitization.

Step 2
Document Categorization

Once digitized, the documents were categorized into predefined classes such as medical reports, lab tests, and billing documents. This categorization was facilitated by a machine learning model trained on a large dataset of annotated healthcare documents. The model was fine-tuned to recognize and categorize documents accurately, even when the formats and templates varied significantly.

Step 3
Key Facts Retrieval

The extraction of key facts from the categorized documents was the next critical step. Using natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms, the system identified and extracted pertinent information such as patient names, birthdates, addresses, ICD codes, and details of medical procedures. The AI model was trained to understand the context and semantics of the healthcare domain, ensuring a high level of precision in fact retrieval.

Step 4
Medical Summary and Report Generation

The final step involved synthesizing the extracted information into coherent medical summaries and reports. Generative AI models, trained on a vast corpus of medical texts, were employed to generate summaries that were both accurate and easily comprehensible. These summaries provided a consolidated view of the patient's medical history and current claims, significantly aiding in the decision-making process.

1 month
Product Discovery

The project began with workshops where our team understood the technology behind the service and the client’s expectations for the platform’s functionalities. Additionally, we carefully identified and documented the required application features.

1 month
UI/UX Design

Throughout this stage, we focused on a UI/UX design specifically catered to the primary four distinct user types. Our efforts also encompassed intricate flow design, polished result presentation, and comprehensive visualization of historical data.

6 months
MVP Development

During the MVP development, we focused on integrating functionalities with the Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI™) technology. Additionally, the first four dedicated user panels were created: patient, home care admin, health provider, and super admin.

Product Development

Further development of the application is dedicated to tailoring the solution for corporate benefit services. As a result, we have introduced 2 additional modules: Wellness Employee and Wellness Admin, enhancing the platform’s capabilities.
