This was a design task. The exercise took me roughly 7 days to finish, including the documentation of this case study.
Hospital visits could be time-consuming and there are also many minor ailments that won't require a hospital visit especially during an ongoing pandemic. Some illnesses can be cared for through virtual consultations. The app, Fast care makes this super easy.

I believe this product is important for two reasons-
Remote is the new trend: Since the pandemic, a lot of things haven't gone back the same and remote living has come to stay.
With the fast-paced urban lifestyle, more and more people will prefer the ease and comfort of scheduling consultations to daily visits to the physical hospital except for major ailments, which get even more challenging in poor weather conditions, the current COVID situation, etc.
Comparatively new concept with less competition: Fewer competitors exist in the Nigerian market to date as the concept is relatively new. This increases the chances of the app outshining the others, creating a business opportunity, and eventually generating satisfactory revenue.
