CASE STUDY:

Medicus K.K. Health Portal

CUSTOMER PROFILE :

Medicus K.K. is a leading advertising agency focusing on promoting medical products to healthcare professionals and the general public.

CHALLENGE:

The development of a multilingual health portal, which would list all the possible medical links for Japan and Australia, was an idea that Medicus K.K. was interested in exploring. The aim was to build a portal that would list all available Web sites of medical institutions such as pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, medical schools, associations and journals.

The challenge was to create an administration interface that would allow Medicus K.K. to effectively manage the inclusion and deletion of the Web sites.

RESPONSE:

JLD Technology researched the requirements forwarded by Medicus K.K. and developed the new health portal. The vast database of links was divided into categories such as Professional Links, Medical Links, Updated Links, Country Links, Global Links, Health Links, and Patient Links. This helps visitors to narrow down their search. An important feature of the site is the ability to search for medical institutions by country.

Visitors can also submit a link by selecting the appropriate category and specifying the title and URL for the link. The submitted links are displayed on the health portal only after the admin approves them.

JLD Technology also implemented the functionality for administration of the list of medical institutions on the Web site, allowing the admin to easily add, modify, approve or delete links.
