Project
Introduction

Healius, a leader in the Australian healthcare industry, recognized the need to enhance its digital presence to maintain its market position and cater to the growing digital expectations of its customers. This case study explores the comprehensive digital transformation journey undertaken to upgrade the technology and design of Healius's digital assets. The project centered around the revamp of websites for 11 distinct brands associated with pathology and imaging services across Australia, marking a significant stride in the company’s digital strategy.

Objective

objective

The project had a multi-dimensional objective:

  • 01/
    Re-branding and Redesigning

    The first goal was to re-brand and redesign the websites for all 11 brands, creating a cohesive and unified design language. This was crucial in maintaining brand consistency across the different entities under Healius.

  • 02/
    Re-platforming for Efficient Content Management and Integration

    The second objective focused on moving the websites to a more efficient content management system (CMS). This move was intended to enhance integration with customer-facing services, e-commerce platforms, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.

  • 03/
    Implementing a Modern UI/UX Design

    The final aim was to establish a new benchmark in UI/UX design within the healthcare sector. The project sought to implement a design that was not only aesthetically pleasing but also intuitive and efficient, reducing the time to market for content publishing using superior technology.

Project Challenges

management-multiple-websites

Each of the 11 websites had unique requirements and operated on different content management systems. This led to inconsistencies in user experience and brand messaging, making the management of these sites resource-intensive and complex.

content-migration-integration

Migrating diverse content types and functionalities onto a single platform presented a significant challenge. It was essential to do this without losing data integrity or diminishing user engagement, considering the variation in content across the different websites.

implementing-advanced-CMS-architecture

The project aimed to implement a state-of-the-art, headless architecture-based CMS. The chosen technology needed to be future-proof, scalable, and capable of managing complex data relationships without disrupting existing services.

cost-effectiveness-timeline-managementerce

Achieving these objectives within the confines of cost-effectiveness and without extending the project timeline was a crucial challenge. This required expert project management and efficient resource allocation.

Solutions

To overcome these challenges, a radical yet strategic approach was adopted, leveraging an innovative CMS solution known for its graph technology capabilities. This solution allowed for the creation of a unified, efficient, and easily manageable platform for all of Healius's digital assets.

CMS Architecture and Technology Stack

The project utilized an advanced CMS built on graph database technology. This CMS was selected for its headless architecture, allowing separation of the front-end and back-end. This separation provided the flexibility to redesign any of the websites independently from others or the underlying data structure.

Graph Database Technology

This technology was instrumental in managing complex data relationships, especially in the healthcare context. It enabled the creation of a graph-based schema to store and transform healthcare data into various aggregations, facilitating the handling of multi-layered user personas and content structures.

UI/UX Design System

A mobile-first design approach was adopted, reflecting the increasing use of mobile devices in accessing healthcare services. The UI/UX design was crafted to align with Healius’s vision, ensuring a modern, user-friendly, and intuitive interface.

Content Migration and Integration

The migration process was one of the most intensive phases. Custom scripts were developed to automate the migration of diverse content types and structures from the existing websites to the new platform, ensuring data integrity and minimizing manual errors.

Continuous Innovation

The engagement with Healius was envisioned as an ongoing partnership, focusing on continuous innovation and experimenting with new technologies and methodologies to keep Healius at the forefront of digital healthcare solutions.

Results
