THE PARTNERSHIP
One Health Direct × Motum.
One Health Direct is a healthcare marketing, customer service, and patient engagement company. Through partners and subsidiaries, it helps patients access treatment options at home and simplifies qualification, billing, and fulfillment for patients and physicians.
As the company scaled, its technology needed to become more reliable, maintainable, and ready for new product work. Motum's team joined to stabilize production while modernizing the engineering foundation.

How we helped.
01The challenge+
Years of technical debt had made the platform fragile. Critical bugs affected reliability, while legacy PHP systems limited scalability and responsiveness.
The previous engineering process lacked automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, consistent code review, and documentation. The company needed to improve a live healthcare system without losing alignment with business stakeholders.
02An embedded engineering team+
Motum built and embedded five engineering roles into One Health Direct's organization. The team worked on platform stabilization and modernization in parallel, staying closely aligned with leadership.
03Stabilize and modernize+
Engineers addressed critical bugs and performance issues, then refactored legacy PHP systems into modern Node.js and Vue.js applications. The work aimed to make the experience more responsive and the underlying platform easier to maintain.
04Build better engineering practice+
The team introduced agile working methods, code review standards, automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation. Cloud-ready architecture and knowledge transfer gave the internal organization a more sustainable foundation.
