IRClinic – Digital Physiotherapy Management Platform

object storage for managing rehabilitation videos and other digital media assets. This allows practitioners to upload large media files while ensuring reliable storage and efficient content distribution across the application.

Since rehabilitation programs frequently involve video streaming and large media assets, backend performance and scalability were important considerations throughout the development process.

Redis was implemented as an in-memory caching solution to improve response times and reduce unnecessary database operations. BullMQ was utilized for asynchronous background processing, enabling notification delivery, email processing, and other resource-intensive operations to execute independently from user requests, resulting in a faster and more responsive application.

Real-time communication was implemented using Socket.IO, allowing important system events and notifications to be delivered instantly whenever required.

Security was another major focus throughout development. Authentication was implemented using JWT-based authorization with role-based access control, ensuring patients, practitioners, and administrators could only access resources relevant to their assigned permissions. Sensitive healthcare data and administrative operations were protected through secure authentication and authorization mechanisms designed to maintain data integrity and privacy.

The backend architecture follows a modular and scalable design, separating authentication, user management, prescription management, media services, notifications, memberships, and administration into independent modules. This architecture improves maintainability, simplifies future feature development, and supports long-term platform scalability.

As the Full Stack Developer (Backend & Dashboard) for IRClinic, I was responsible for designing and developing the complete backend infrastructure and the administrative dashboard. My responsibilities included designing the PostgreSQL database with Prisma ORM, developing scalable RESTful APIs using NestJS, implementing secure authentication and authorization, building practitioner and administrator dashboards, developing prescription management workflows, integrating MinIO object storage, implementing Redis caching and BullMQ background job processing, developing notification services, and ensuring seamless communication between the backend services and the Flutter mobile application.

The patient-facing mobile application was developed separately by a Flutter developer, while I designed and maintained the backend services and dashboard that power the entire ecosystem. This collaborative architecture allowed both web and mobile applications to consume the same secure APIs while maintaining a consistent and scalable healthcare platform.

The final result is a secure, scalable, and production-ready digital physiotherapy management system that simplifies rehabilitation workflows, improves communication between healthcare professionals and patients, and provides clinics with powerful administrative tools for managing digital healthcare services efficiently.
