Medical Vacation Startup
Disrupting the traditional medical pricing model

A previous client referred this entrepreneur to me. His idea was a bold one that took advantage of the masses of medical data provided by the government. He wanted to find a way to negotiate with providers, anestheticians, and facilities across the country, and eventyall the globe, to provide a final price for a medical proceedure. We could then match a patient with competitive prices for an elective proceedure.

I worked with another developer to create a back end API that managed all the data and concepts for the software. We used an extensible API schema called Collection+JSON. During this time, we added to collection+JSON open-source tools both for Ruby and for Javascript.

Unfortunately, due to a number of roadblocks, this project never made it to production.
