SaaS platform for healthcare training

To expand VERT's reach and enhance its effectiveness as a training tool, our client wanted to develop an MVP of a web-based version of VERT, accessible on any device with an internet connection.

The project entailed the following requirements:

• Transform VERT into a web application using AWS Appstream technology
• Maintain the speed and performance of the original application in its new web-based form
• Build a fully functional learning management system (LMS) around the core VERT functionality
• Implement a SaaS model with client management, subscription options, and usage-based billing

Platform components

The web-based VERT is a multi-tenant, SaaS platform catering to the needs of multiple user types. It is structured into three portals:

• Student portal: Offers access to lessons, tracks exercise completion, and supports personalised learning for students and staff in training.
• Manager portal: Enables doctors, teachers, and trainers to create course content, manage groups, assign tasks, and monitor student progress.
• Admin portal: Allows VERT staff to manage organisation profiles, user access and permissions, and system maintenance.

Content management

• Features for designated managers to organise the training materials available on the VERT platform into modules, sub-modules, and exercises and distribute them to learners.
• Edit the existing content or create custom content such as workbooks, assignments, or slideshows for students.
• Tag content with categories and hashtags for easy navigation.

Student management

• Add users up to the maximum number of seats purchased according to the subscription. 
• Manage user IDs or make them active or inactive.
• Assign modules or assignments to the users.

Customised student groups

• Organise users into multiple groups by year, department, or any other common characteristic.
• Assign content to the groups in one go rather than individually.

Engaging with learning material

• An intuitive system for students to view the modules and assignments along with due dates.
• Work on assignments by launching VERT virtually within the web browser. 
• Generate and download PDF reports to view their progress and performance.

Platform administration

• Set up and manage client organisation profiles via the admin portal.
• Set limits on the number of users at each organisation and total hours of usage allotted based on the licence purchased.
• Set up users (managers, students) within each organisation. 
• Reporting around platform usage.
