Chop Dawg partnered with the Toiyabe Indian Health Project to develop a multi‑platform mobile application that delivers essential healthcare, recovery, and cultural resources directly to tribal communities across California’s Eastern Sierra. This robust app makes it simple for users to schedule appointments, take surveys and assessments, set up medication reminders, and learn about their cultural heritage. By merging technology with Toiyabe’s commitment to consistent, equitable, and culturally appropriate care, we’ve created an all‑in‑one digital solution that connects patients to the services and support they need—fast.
Established in 1968, the Toiyabe Indian Health Project (TIHP) provides nonprofit community healthcare to nine Eastern Sierra tribal communities—and welcomes patients of all ethnicities. Their range of medical, dental, dialysis, pharmacy, counseling, and behavioral health services reflects a steadfast mission: delivering the highest standard of culturally sensitive care. Over the decades, TIHP evolved from small caravans and distant hospital rides to modern facilities in Bishop and beyond. Recognizing that real‑time, on‑the‑go access to health information can be life‑changing for tribal communities, TIHP turned to Chop Dawg to build a digital hub that seamlessly merges healthcare, culture, and community engagement.
Bringing Holistic Care, Cultural Preservation, and Streamlined Access to iOS, Android, and Tablets
Providing medical appointments, mental health resources, and culturally relevant information across remote regions isn’t easy—especially without a centralized digital platform. TIHP needed an app that could serve multiple functions: scheduling, event management, and medication reminders, while also featuring content such as traditional language lessons and trauma‑informed care resources. By simplifying access to these vital services, TIHP hoped to reduce barriers that often deter individuals from seeking timely, comprehensive care. The challenge lay in unifying their diverse offerings into one user‑friendly solution that honored the integrity of tribal cultures.
Chop Dawg and TIHP embarked on a multi‑phased project with a shared vision: empowering Native communities through intuitive digital experiences. Our teams conducted weekly check‑ins to discuss wireframes, refine application flows, and ensure the end product captured Toiyabe’s core values. Using Zoom, Slack, JIRA, and GitHub, we swiftly iterated on features such as cultural language content, screening and assessment tools, scheduling assistance, and an intuitive admin backend. Throughout this journey, we preserved Toiyabe’s core mission—consistent, high‑quality care—while seamlessly integrating modern technologies like geolocation, push notifications, and robust survey logic into the final product.
The Toiyabe app offers a powerful suite of core functionalities that support healthcare delivery and community well‑being.
Users can effortlessly set push notifications for upcoming doses or schedule appointments with providers, enhancing medication adherence and reducing missed visits.
Integrated surveys measure opioid, substance, and mental health needs—offering immediate recommendations or the option to connect with staff for additional support.
An interactive module showcases phonetic pronunciations, audio clips, and community‑taught language lessons. Users can share phrases on social media, preserving heritage through modern collaboration.
Community events—from group sessions to cultural gatherings—are easy to discover and add to Google or Apple Calendars, keeping users aligned with upcoming activities.
Beyond the essentials, our solution enriches connectivity, strengthens outreach, and enables on‑the‑go learning for every user.
In‑app resources and PDFs offer insight on resilience, history, and overcoming lateral oppression—organized by subject and easily accessible via search or category filters.
Users view nearby clinics and specialists, get directions through Google or Apple Maps, and schedule follow‑up visits using built‑in EHR or email integration.
Users can join group therapy sessions, set milestones for each stage of treatment, and log achievements—building self‑motivation and peer support.
Our expert team provided inclusive design, thorough quality assurance, and a long‑term strategic approach to bring the Toiyabe app to life.
We balanced TIHP’s cultural heritage with modern UI/UX design, crafting an interface that honors tribal traditions while remaining intuitive for all age group
Across iOS, Android, and tablet devices, we tested scheduling flows, push notifications, and assessment logic—ensuring every feature operated reliably.
Beyond launch, Chop Dawg will continue providing OS updates, bug fixes, and iterative improvements, reflecting TIHP’s evolving goals and serving as a trusted tech ally.
Open lines of communication were pivotal to our success. Through weekly Zoom meetings, Slack discussions, and transparent task management in JIRA, Chop Dawg and TIHP tackled feedback in real time. This agile collaboration enabled swift iterations on design elements such as the Cultural Tab, Recovery Tools, and Admin analytics. By maintaining alignment at each milestone, we delivered a robust multi‑platform solution that truly resonates with the communities it serves.
The app bridges remote communities with real‑time medical and cultural resources—available on iOS, Android, and iPad OS—ensuring nobody is left without support.
Administrators easily update events, resources, or cultural content through a secure backend. Real‑time analytics help the TIHP team assess engagement and refine their outreach.
Built to evolve, the app accommodates new assessments, group sessions, and advanced scheduling flows—enabling TIHP to meet emerging healthcare challenges head‑on.
