Client

Helping Hand is a trailblazing platform aimed at combating alcohol addiction, pioneering the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in therapy across Europe. As the brainchild of its CEO and founder, it seeks to predict and subsequently prevent addiction relapse, offering invaluable support to those dealing with alcohol addiction and the therapists striving to help them.

The Challenge

The challenge for Helping Hand was to create a comprehensive app that facilitated the connection between therapists, patients, and the various communities that the patients belong to. This required a fresh perspective on user experience and interface design, alongside the technological challenge of creating the app for both iOS and Android platforms.

Scope of work

The project scope that the client laid out for the Iterators team included:

  • Comprehensive market analysis
  • UX & UI design
  • Development of a robust management panel for therapists
  • Creation of the app for Android and iOS

Iterators were chosen for their holistic approach to projects and the ability to house various necessary competencies in one dedicated team. Following a technical feasibility study, our teams began thorough market research and designed mock-ups for the app. With active involvement at every stage of the project and the lean methodology applied throughout, the delivery of a series of sprints was highly efficient. The team comprised 2 Android developers, one iOS developer, three backend engineers, two UX designers, and a project manager.

Using Jira, Slack, Zoom, and Miro for project management and communication, Iterators earned the client’s trust and friendship. The client lauded the comprehensive approach, professional advice, and flexible methodology employed by Iterators and appreciated how personal and tailored the team made their experience. The CEO of Helping Hand found no areas for improvement, endorsing the exemplary work style of Iterators.

Results: The Helping Hand platform now offers a personalized solution for intelligent digital therapy in a subscription system, significantly aiding in alcohol addiction treatment and mental health support. It also made a breakthrough in therapeutic communication by offering access to chat, video, and telephone conversations 24/7.

Furthermore, Helping Hand’s unique marketplace model provides remote working opportunities for therapists and supercharges them with AI-driven analysis tools and dedicated patient questionnaires. Implementation of analytics and publishing of the application was handled by the Iterators team, who ensured a smooth transition through every phase of the project.

The Iterators team members became trusted friends to me. They are truly excellent to work with.
