Luz Saúde is one of the largest private healthcare groups in Portugal and a worldwide reference in medical excellence. Digital transformation in healthcare is a major challenge that involves connecting with patients, reducing costs, attending to patients, storing data, and improving operational effectiveness. Luz Saúde intended to improve the quality of care through an adaptation to mobile technologies, online payment, telemedicine, wearables, and IoT.

Since the launch of this new system, approximately 70% of all doctors allow online appointment bookings through the app MY LUZ or web solution, freeing client support resources to better respond to other challenges and activities.

My Luz is getting 10 to 15 thousand new customers every month, serving over 300 thousand customers with more than 1 million sessions achieved. Telemedicine is now available to all clients in 40 different medical specialties, both on web and mobile.

Online bookings increased 400% and over 50% of all overall bookings are now made online without the need for contact center intervention – a favorable metric, in accordance with the company’s growth strategy.

All the systems are now consolidated onto one platform, which enables Luz Saúde to create new and better features to provide customers with an empowering digital experience and leading them towards a technologically advanced future.

Axians and Luz Saúde developed a solution called MY LUZ after a thorough discovery phase designed to identify critical and essential features from the customers’ perspective.

This platform consists of an app and a desktop version created to facilitate the journey of Luz Saúde’s customers when using their services. Besides that, there is a backoffice solution allowing system configuration, contact center management, and doctors’ video calls.

MY LUZ is a health spot that allows Luz Saúde’s customers to have access to their historical medical data, billing information (including payments), online scheduling, and telemedicine among many other features. The Patient Portal App was developed to increase the customer experience and to liberate data source since the customers are the ultimate owners of their clinical data.

OutSystems’ low-code platform has been a key digital enabler for Luz Saúde to tackle the challenges raised by Luz Saúde’s business expansion.

At Luz Saúde we are committed to improve customer experience by providing consistent service quality and we believe that adapting to new emerging technologies is the best way to evolve and modernize our customer app. As such, using Truewind (*now Axians) knowledge in OutSystems and their strong digital methodology, and by using emerging digital technologies, is helping us in communication and application of data to engage and redefine customer service, while increasing efficiency through engaging web and mobile experiences. We are focused on delivering a better customer experience by helping and matching customers’ expectations at every step of the patient journey the best possible way.
