Supporting the global fight against coronavirus, we built a world-leading Healthcare Hub with scientifically validated data in only three weeks. The novel coronavirus overcame the world in an instant. Countries went into lockdown, businesses were forced to adapt or perish, and new information about the virus emerged by the minute. It became increasingly difficult for healthcare workers to adjust course, and to differentiate between rumors and scientifically validated data.
Problem
Lack of clear and accurate clinical COVID-19 information for healthcare workers
Solution
Build a world-leading platform providing timely, validated clinical data to healthcare workers
Launching a world-leading COVID-19 Healthcare Hub from concept to execution in just three weeks
Elsevier is one of the world’s leading scientific data analytics companies. Digital Healthcare products are one of their main revenue streams, but in this case, they wanted to use their knowledge to support healthcare workers in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Elsevier wanted to provide clear and accurate clinical information to frontline healthcare workers across the world. To do that, they needed to undergo a digital transformation, one that would require the expertise and experience necessary to build a platform at scale and at (extreme) speed. The result? A world-leading COVID-19 Healthcare Hub that provides timely, scientifically validated data to healthcare workers – a platform that was taken from concept to execution in just three weeks.

“Thanks to what she read in the nursing toolkit you sent, an ICU nurse told me that she was able to inform the doctor so that he could detect a different cardiogenic symptom that an intubated patient had while in agony. Thanks to that information, you helped to save his life.”
Future-proof and made to scale while racing against time
The Elsevier and Edenspiekermann teams worked together to complete a new information hub of timely evidence-based data to healthcare workers around the world.
The relentless focus on speed over completion led the team to build, test and implement a working MVP in record time. Starting with an easily scalable and flexible backend structure, while working toward an API-driven model using Contentful and Leadboxer marketing automation tools and bots laid the foundational infrastructure. The quick-to-market determination enabled the platform to be immediately usable from day 1.
