drtalk is a secure communication and collaboration platform for dental and healthcare professionals across the United States. Built to the highest healthcare security standards, it enables practitioners to connect, share knowledge, access mentorship, earn CE credits, and monetise their expertise. Think of it as a secure professional network purpose-built for healthcare teams that transcends organisational boundaries.
The platform spans web, iOS, and Android. The mobile apps are React Native (Expo), the web application is Next.js, and the backend is .NET 8 on Azure with Cosmos DB, SignalR for real-time messaging, and Stripe for payments. The whole system has been in continuous production for over six years.
Built and maintained by a blended team: Australian product leadership with senior Philippines-based React Native developers working AEST hours.

React Native lets you ship native iOS and Android apps from a single TypeScript codebase. Not a web view pretending to be native. Actual native components, native performance, native feel. The business case is straightforward: one team, one codebase, two platforms, lower total cost.
We use React Native for consumer apps, internal business tools, healthcare platforms, and anything that needs to be on both app stores without maintaining two separate codebases. Our preference is Expo for the development workflow, over-the-air updates, and simplified build pipeline.
For the backend, we pair React Native with .NET on Azure or Node.js, depending on the project. Our full-stack capability means we can own the entire mobile product, not just the frontend.
You tell us what you need. We match a React Native developer (or a small team) from our Philippines-based bench. They join your standups, use your tools, and work your sprint cadence. Australian delivery leadership manages quality from Brisbane.
You get direct Slack access to your developers. No handlers, no account managers. The person you talk to is the person writing the code.
Minimum engagement is three months. Most clients stay much longer. drtalk has been running with the same core team for over six years.
Two engagement models: Team Amplification (individual developers embedded in your team) or Ring-Fenced Teams (a dedicated team allocated only to your product).
