In March 2020, every American university suddenly needed a pandemic-testing platform. The clock was a semester. The product had to ship.
CoVerified is a Y Combinator-backed healthcare-data middleware company that pivoted hard into COVID-19 management for universities, tests, exposures, symptom check-ins, vaccination tracking, compliance matrices. Founder & CEO Dr. Brandon Busuito had a validated product, a robust Laravel/Lumen + AWS backend, and an engineering team running fast. What he needed was a UI that did the data justice and a frontend team that could ship at the same speed his backend already did. We came in for the redesign and stayed for the build, 100+ screens, React + React Native, live in 6 weeks.
Denovers was able to provide a product that is both sleek and tough, which earned them great reviews and added them to over 200,000 users. Having great collaboration and communication and being able to learn quickly made the project a success.
CoVerified builds custom healthcare-data middleware, tools for managing pandemic testing data and telehealth integrations. When the country reopened campuses, they needed a stable platform with modern UI/UX, live in six weeks. They interviewed many firms and considered building in-house. They picked us because the timeline worked, the price made sense, and CEO Muzammil was in the room from day one.
One pod, design and frontend in the same room, backend untouched. We led with data-first admin surfaces (Command Center, Reports & Tracing, Compliance matrix); the React team picked up the upstream components in parallel and wired them straight to the existing Laravel/Lumen APIs; the React Native app shipped the same patient surfaces for students on phones. Slack was the single channel from business leadership to engineering. When scope tightened at the end, the CEO was in the channel within minutes, not the next standup. The platform shipped on schedule and went live to 200,000+ users.
Command Center, Reports & Tracing, Compliance matrix. KPI tiles sized for one-glance scanning, stacked bar charts that read positivity instantly, status pills (CLEAR / RESTRICTED / PENDING) replacing raw text columns. CoVerified’s navy + teal brand stayed; the layouts stopped fighting the data.
The frontend team picked up components as the designs finalised and wired them straight to the existing Laravel/Lumen APIs on AWS. The React Native app shipped the same student-facing surfaces for phones. Willing to transpose into InVision, Adobe XD, or Zeplin whenever the existing team preferred.
The admin dashboard had to summarise an entire university’s testing programme in one screen. We led with six KPI tiles. Positive Tests, All Tests, Positivity Rate, Positive Symptoms, All Symptoms, Vaccinated, each with totals to date, then stacked bar charts for Tests Conducted and Symptoms Reported with hover tooltips on every day. Coral for warnings, sage-gold for positive trends, navy for chrome.
The per-user table had to surface 11 columns, status, symptoms, tests, exposure reports, flu shot, next COVID dose, COVID dose status, without becoming a wall. Status pills (CLEAR, RESTRICTED, PENDING) carry the headline; tags (ON CAMPUS, REMOTE) carry the context; a slide-out filter popover lets admins slice by Status, Status Reason, Registration and Location without leaving the page.
Each university operates dozens of testing locations, ballrooms, parking lots, backyards. Admins needed to create a site, set availability for it, and open or close it on a tab. We built it as a list-first view (site name, open/close, total appointments, status), with a two-step create flow: site details + weekly availability with an override schedule for one-off dates.
Beyond COVID, universities track an entire vaccination and document slate. MMR, Varicella, Meningitis, Influenza, Insurance, ID, Health Examination, HIPAA. The matrix view turns that into a single grid: groups down, requirements across, green-check / empty / pending at every intersection. A separate three-pane workflow lets admins add users to groups like College of Business Administration in bulk.
100+ screens, design and React/React Native frontend, on top of CoVerified’s existing Laravel/Lumen + AWS backend. Live in 6 weeks. 200,000+ users. Verified Clutch 5.0 across every category, quality, schedule, cost, and willingness to refer.
