Atlas Health – Platform Redesign
We worked with Atlas Health to redesign their patient engagement platform, rebuilding the site from the ground up with a modern tech stack, responsive UX, and performance-focused architecture. The relaunch resulted in a 70% faster load time and a 150% increase in sign-ups within the first 60 days.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Atlas Health provides digital health solutions that connect patients with care providers, resources, and community programs. Their legacy web platform was slow, cluttered, and difficult to scale, frustrating both patients and healthcare partners.
They needed a strategic partner to rebuild the platform with performance, accessibility, and scalability in mind — while keeping the user experience simple for patients with varying levels of digital literacy.
Project Goals
Improve Performance: Reduce load times and optimize for speed across all devices.
Enhance Accessibility: Build an inclusive, WCAG-compliant experience for patients with diverse needs.
Streamline User Flows: Simplify navigation for faster onboarding and easier appointment scheduling.
Future-Proof the Platform: Use a modern, scalable tech stack capable of supporting growth and integrations.
The Challenges
Legacy CMS and outdated codebase caused frequent downtime and slow response times.
Navigation was unintuitive, leading to high drop-off rates during sign-up and appointment booking.
Strict compliance requirements (HIPAA and data security) added layers of complexity to the build.
Needed to balance a patient-friendly interface with powerful back-end tools for healthcare providers.
The Solutions
Full Rebuild with Next.js: Migrated to a modern React-based stack with server-side rendering for speed and SEO.
Performance Optimization: Implemented caching, CDNs, and lightweight code to achieve load times under 2 seconds.
UX Redesign: Developed streamlined flows for onboarding, booking, and account management with responsive layouts.
Accessibility First: Built to WCAG 2.1 standards with features like high-contrast modes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
Security & Compliance: Integrated encrypted data storage, secure authentication, and HIPAA-compliant hosting.
The platform now functions as both a patient-first experience and a robust backend for healthcare administrators.
Outcome & Impact
Performance Gains: Page load speeds improved by 70%, with bounce rates reduced by 40%.
Higher Conversions: Patient sign-ups increased 150% within 60 days of launch, driven by clearer CTAs and simpler navigation.
Accessibility Milestone: Platform now fully WCAG-compliant, making it usable by a wider audience.
Provider Adoption: Healthcare partners reported smoother workflows and fewer technical issues with scheduling and data sharing.
Scalability: Modern stack enables faster feature rollouts and seamless integrations with EHR and telehealth systems.
Atlas Health now has a reliable, scalable, and patient-friendly digital platform that positions them as a leader in healthcare innovation and accessibility.
