Spark Healthlines A Virtual Waiting Queue App for Medical use

4 min read

About the Project

Spark Healthlines is a modern-day designed, enhanced user experience, multi-functional, mobile ready app developed to give in-person patients the freedom to wait for their turn privately in their car—or wherever they choose—rather than confining them to a stuffy, crowded waiting room alongside new germs and potential infections and facilitating a smooth check-in process for healthcare visits 🧑🏻‍⚕️

Traditional waiting rooms that require patients to touch shared surfaces and breathe shared air are beyond uncomfortable—they can be unsafe. It is not only incovinient for the patients to stand in long queues but also the crowd prove to be a breeding ground for germs and potential infections.
