Care for Vision: A Single Platform for Retinal Disease Management

A three-component platform for Roche Hong Kong’s Ophthalmology division, serving clinicians, patients, and case administrators from one governed record.

Client: Roche — Ophthalmology

The Challenge

Retinal disease management — for conditions such as wet AMD, DME, and RVO — involves a coordination problem as much as a clinical one. Patients move through a governed pathway from screening to assessment to intervention to referral, ophthalmologists across more than 500 practices need a consistent disease-specific record to work from, and every patient-support request in between needs to be routed, approved, and audited under the same rigour applied to the clinical data itself.

Roche Hong Kong’s Ophthalmology division needed a single platform that could serve clinicians, patients, and case administrators as three distinct user groups, without fragmenting the record between them — built to Hong Kong PDPO requirements for sensitive personal health data from day one.

What We Built

KYWH designed, built, and now supports a three-component platform under a single architecture:

Clinician-facing

Disease Management System

An EHR-style patient record system with disease-specific tracking dashboards, giving ophthalmologists and care teams a shared, structured view of each patient’s treatment history and status.

Patient-facing

Patient Mobile App

Built in Flutter, giving patients self-monitoring tools, appointment booking with reminders, secure messaging with their care providers, and the ability to apply directly for patient-support programmes from their phone.

Administrator-facing

Case Manager Workflow & Approval Portal

A multi-level routing and approval engine for patient-support requests, with document management, e-signatures, rule-based escalation, and real-time status tracking — governing each request through screening, assessment, intervention, and referral with a full audit trail at every step.

Compliance & Governance

Given the sensitivity of the data involved, compliance was treated as a delivery deliverable, not an afterthought:

Formal Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)

Conducted as part of the SI&D scope, specifically for a system handling sensitive personal health data under Hong Kong PDPO.

Full audit trails

CRUD-level activity logging, administrative access tracking, and correction history across the platform.

Compliance logging and outcome auditing

Built directly into the workflow engine, not layered on top.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Three interconnected components, each serving a distinct role group (clinical staff, patients, administrators) with access scoped accordingly.

Outcome

Live in production

The platform is live in production, supporting 500+ ophthalmologists and 600+ patients annually under pharmaceutical-industry data-privacy standards with a formal PIA on record.

Recommendation on record

A signed recommendation letter from Roche Hong Kong is available on request.
