Chiquicuidados

How we turned a pediatric clinic scattered across WhatsApp, Excel and paper into a single digital system, brand, web and software, under one roof.

The problem

Demand wasn't the problem. Operational friction was.

When GadDev took on the project, Chiquicuidados was already an established clinic, with a base of returning patients and a reputation in Santa Tecla.

But every appointment was booked by hand over WhatsApp. Records lived on paper and in spreadsheets. Electronic invoicing (DTE), mandatory with the Ministry of Finance, was handled through portals and memory. Four disconnected tools for a single operation.

“Everything worked, but everything depended on someone remembering to do it.”

Design decisions

Four decisions that defined the system.

Brand and identity

An image as warm as the care it offers.

A redesigned logo, palette and illustrated character. The exploration sketches note three guiding attributes: professional, warm and approachable.

Brand board: pencil sketches of the logo, the printed color palette and the final logo applied.

Booking

Booking goes where patients already were.

Instead of asking families to learn a new tool, a WhatsApp chatbot books appointments with no manual intervention.

Records + DTE

Record and invoice, in the same place.

Compliant electronic invoicing comes out of the same system where the clinical record lives, with no separate portals.

The website is the front door.

chiquicuidados.com gives the practice a public presence, clear information and a path to booking.

The product

The pieces of the system.

Schedule, records, invoicing and the WhatsApp channel share the same data. What gets booked in the chat shows up in the schedule, and the visit ends in a transmitted DTE.

Representative interfaces with fictional data.
