Client Background
Synapse Medical Academy is a specialized medical education institution delivering postgraduate and professional medical training. Their programs include certification-driven courses, live clinical lectures, simulations, and assessments that demand high accuracy, accountability, and data security.
As their learner base grew, Synapse required a learning platform that could go beyond generic LMS capabilities—one that understood medical education logic, compliance requirements, and performance analytics.
The Problem
Traditional LMS platforms failed to meet Synapse's needs. They lacked the ability to enforce strict learning sequences, protect sensitive clinical content, and deliver insights required for academic and operational decisions.
Key issues included:
- •No enforcement of mandatory clinical learning pathways
- •Weak content protection for sensitive medical materials
- •Fragmented experience across live classes, simulations, and assessments
- •Poor mobile usability for on-the-go learners
- •Limited analytics for tracking competency and engagement
- •Performance issues during high-traffic live sessions
Synapse needed a purpose-built medical LMS, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Goals
Synapse Medical Academy partnered with The Tork to build a future-ready LMS with clear objectives:
- •Enforce competency-based learning protocols
- •Secure sensitive medical and clinical content
- •Deliver seamless multi-format learning in one interface
- •Increase student engagement in intensive programs
- •Simplify instructor workflows
- •Scale reliably during peak usage
- •Enable mobile-first learning
- •Provide actionable, data-driven insights
- •Improve enrollment and payment conversion
Strategy & Approach
Tork approached the project as a medical education platform, not just a software build.
Our strategy is combined:
- •UX-led system architecture designed around medical workflows
- •Compliance-ready learning logic aligned with clinical standards
- •Security-first engineering for content protection
- •Scalable cloud infrastructure for performance and reliability
- •Data-driven design to support continuous improvement
Every feature was designed to serve both educational outcomes and operational efficiency.
Execution Highlights
- •Competency Lock Engine
Enforced strict learning sequences by tracking videos, quizzes, simulations, and assignments unlocking modules only when clinical criteria were met.
- •Advanced Content Protection System
Multi-layer security, including screen recording detection, dynamic watermarking, domain-restricted access, and secure API-based video streaming.
- •Unified Medical Learning Dashboard
A modular content engine combining live lectures, simulations, quizzes, and assignments into a single, intuitive timeline.
- •Engagement-Focused UX
Progress tracking, gamified rewards, certificates, adaptive UI cues, and smart notifications to reduce drop-offs in long medical programs.
- •Instructor Cockpit
Drag-and-drop course creation, multi-format uploads, assessment tools, and advanced performance analytics—minimizing tech friction.
- •High-Performance Architecture
Cloudways infrastructure with Cloudflare, Redis caching, load balancing, and query optimization for video-heavy traffic.
- •Flutter Mobile App
Full learning experience on mobile—quizzes, assignments, notifications, and seamless progress sync with the web.
- •Analytics & Insights Layer
Microsoft Clarity, Google Tag Manager, and custom dashboards to monitor engagement, completion rates, and learner performance.
- •Optimized Enrollment & Payments
Streamlined signup flow, fast payment integration, automated invoicing, and confirmation notifications.
Results
Timeframe: Project delivered and deployed within the agreed development cycle
- •Successfully launched a custom, compliance-ready medical LMS
- •Enabled secure delivery of sensitive clinical content
- •Supported hundreds of concurrent learners during live and video-intensive sessions
- •Improved learner engagement through structured pathways and UX nudges
- •Reduced instructor workload with centralized content and analytics
