ZappQ
Owned and scaled a multi-app healthcare platform connecting patients, hospitals, pharmacies, and operational staff through real-time booking, queue management, and service workflows.
Platform Scope
Overview
ZappQ is a multi-surface healthcare platform enabling patients to discover doctors, book appointments, order medicines, and track real-time queue status, while providing hospitals with operational systems to manage bookings, queues, and workflows. When I took ownership, the platform had usability issues, fragmented workflows, and limited operational scalability. I led product definition, workflow redesign, and platform stabilization across the entire ecosystem, transforming it into a scalable, operationally reliable system. Currently deployed in live production with active usage across patients and hospital partners.
Problem
The platform faced multiple structural and usability challenges:
- Fragmented workflows across consumer and hospital systems
- Poor discovery due to inconsistent doctor classification
- Usability issues affecting booking, pharmacy, and lab workflows
- Limited operational visibility for hospitals
- Lack of analytics and structured product decision support
- Scalability constraints for onboarding hospitals and expanding services
My Role
I owned product definition, execution, and stabilization initiatives across the ZappQ platform. My responsibilities included:
- Defining product roadmap and system direction
- Writing PRDs and defining workflows across apps
- Leading feature definition and redesign initiatives
- Stabilizing the platform through structured testing and execution discipline
- Introducing analytics and tracking infrastructure
- Coordinating directly with engineering and leadership
- Acting as the single product owner across all platform surfaces
Platform Ecosystem
ZappQ consists of multiple integrated systems:
- Consumer App: Doctor discovery, booking, pharmacy ordering, lab booking, and live queue tracking
- Nurse Queue Management System: Real-time queue control, token management, and operational workflow handling
- Reception System: Booking management, token assignment, and patient coordination
- Hospital Admin Dashboard: Hospital onboarding, doctor management, operational visibility, and analytics
- Pharmacy System: Prescription uploads, order management, and fulfillment workflows
- Internal Admin System: Operational control, platform configuration, and ecosystem management
- Lab & Driver Systems: Lab test scheduling, sample collection workflows, and vendor coordination
Product Complexity
ZappQ required coordination across multiple independent but interconnected systems:
- Consumer mobile application
- Hospital operational dashboards
- Real-time queue management systems
- Pharmacy vendor systems
- Lab test and sample collection workflows
- Internal administrative tools
Each system had distinct users, workflows, and operational constraints. Product decisions required balancing patient experience, hospital efficiency, operational reliability, and system scalability.
Key Product Initiatives I Led
- Platform stabilization and workflow redesign: Improved booking reliability, workflow clarity, and operational usability
- Pharmacy experience rebuild: Redesigned prescription upload, ordering flow, and pharmacy product structure
- Doctor discovery and classification fix: Resolved structural issues in doctor categorization and search accuracy
- Analytics foundation implementation: Defined Mixpanel tracking and enabled data-driven product decisions
- Smart Clinic feature ownership: Defined workflows across user, vendor, and operational systems
- Hospital onboarding and operational dashboard improvements: Enabled scalable hospital onboarding and operational control
- Execution systems and SOP implementation: Introduced structured product execution, requirement definition, and release validation
Execution Leadership
- Owned product execution across the full platform lifecycle, including roadmap definition, workflow design, release validation, and platform stabilization.
- Acted as the single product owner across consumer, operational, and administrative systems.
- Owned end-to-end product definition and execution without dedicated design or QA resources, requiring direct ownership of workflow validation, usability, and release quality.
- Coordinated directly with engineering leadership to define requirements, prioritize fixes, and ensure release quality.
- Maintained product stability while shipping continuous improvements across multiple platform surfaces.
Impact and Outcomes
Platform scaled to:
- 3500+ downloads
- 250 - 500+ monthly active users
- 95% user satisfaction
- Successfully stabilized platform and improved usability across multiple product surfaces
- Enabled scalable hospital onboarding and ecosystem expansion
- Established analytics foundation enabling data-driven product decisions
- Reduced defect volume significantly through structured testing and product ownership
- Delivered multiple production releases across mobile and operational systems
