BOSTON, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – In a strategic move to enhance customer and patient experience across countries, healthcare services leader Doctena has partnered with Median.co — the leading mobile app development platform and solutions provider — to successfully launch a feature-rich mobile app. This approach offers the flexibility to allocate Doctena’s internal resources to other priority projects and to sustain their high level of customer service.

After a decade of growth and expansion into multiple countries and working with more than 10,000 healthcare professionals, Doctena recognized the necessity for a mobile app solution to complement their online web presence and better serve their growing user base.

The healthcare company, founded in Luxembourg in 2013, has been dedicated to assisting patients to locate medical care and to schedule appointments with providers since Day 1. The joint effort with Median.co offered a fast, streamlined, and cost-effective approach to deliver a full-feature mobile app.

Doctena’s app now serves over 40,000 daily users, and allows patients to make more than 1.5 million appointments per month on the platform.

Faced with the challenge of providing users with the functionality and convenience of a mobile app, Doctena CTO Lucas Praneuf sought a solution that would leverage the company’s existing web-based capabilities to power a mobile app, to launch quickly while saving on overall development and maintenance costs.

In collaboration with Median.co, Doctena delivered a new mobile app compatible with both Android and iOS platforms. The quick responsiveness and effectiveness of the Median team were crucial to meet Doctena’s timeline and launch the app in just a few days. Lucas Praneuf notes that Median’s staff were prepared and knowledgeable. “They quickly earned our trust, making us feel confident in the project’s direction.”

Opting for Median’s Concierge service, Doctena benefited from Median’s expert development and app store publishing service, and now receives ongoing tech support and software updates. This level of service allows Doctena to focus their internal resources on other strategic projects, with Median responsible for all aspects of app development and maintenance.

The result is a cost- and time-saving mobile app that raises the bar for quality and user experience. Median’s innovative solution combines the simplicity of webview technology with the full functionality of a native app.

“We are thrilled to have worked with Doctena to deliver a mobile app solution that meets their expectations and enhances their overall patient experience,” says Kingsley Gifford, Median’s CEO. “Our partnership with Doctena exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative and efficient app development services for customer-focused companies.”

Lucas Praneuf, CTO of Doctena, says, “The end product meets our expectations flawlessly. We consistently have an up-to-date mobile app that includes all our features, leading to time savings and, consequently, cost reductions. My teams can remain concentrated on our product roadmap without dividing their efforts in maintaining mobile apps in addition to building for the web.”

Doctena, in collaboration with Median.co, successfully launched a long-term app solution, leveraging its existing web-based capabilities to deliver a full-feature mobile app compatible with both Android and iOS. With comprehensive web and app offerings, Doctena now serves tens of thousands of users across Europe more conveniently than ever and is well positioned for further growth.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
