BACKGROUND

About Almond

Almond set out to test a core hypothesis: women actively seek accessible, ongoing OB-GYN care beyond episodic clinic visits, and are willing to book and pay for it if friction is removed.

The challenge was not clinical expertise, but operations: fragmented booking, delayed access to care, and lack of continuity between consultations, follow-ups, and long-term treatment plans. These gaps limited patient throughput, retention, and revenue per patient.

Solutions

Women health app development solutions we delivered

Unified patient acquisition & booking flow
A 24/7 self-serve booking system for virtual and in-person appointments replaced phone-based scheduling. This removed delays, reduced drop-offs at the top of the funnel, and directly increased booked appointments.

Business impact: faster conversion from intent → appointment, higher acquisition throughput.
Integrated traditional + functional medicine workflows
Clinicians can create personalized care plans that span diagnostics, therapy, follow-ups, and educational content. This allows Almond to address complex, long-term conditions (PCOS, hormonal imbalances, fertility) rather than single consultations.

Business impact: increased revenue per patient and differentiation from transactional telemedicine apps.
Continuous care infrastructure (not episodic visits)
Instead of disconnected visits, the platform supports intake, consultations, messaging, follow-ups, and ongoing care in one flow. Patients remain engaged beyond the first appointment, enabling longer treatment journeys.

Business impact: higher retention potential and foundation for recurring revenue.
Automated follow-ups and reminders
Built-in reminders and notifications reduce no-shows and manual operational work, while keeping patients engaged between visits.

Business impact: improved appointment utilization and lower operational overhead.
Secure telemedicine & async communication
HIPAA-compliant video visits and messaging enable care delivery without geographic constraints, allowing Almond to scale patient volume beyond its physical clinic.

Business impact: scalable care delivery model with no linear increase in operational costs.
Operational analytics for growth
Real-time visibility into booking trends, patient engagement, and care progression allows the team to iterate on acquisition, care flows, and service offerings.

Business impact: data-driven decisions instead of intuition-based scaling.
