Case Study: Health NZ - Te Whatu Ora delivers accessible Covid services with Alphero

Health NZ - Te Whatu Ora onboarded 63% of New Zealand with Alphero

The customer, Health NZ - Te Whatu Ora, faced the urgent challenge of building a public-facing digital platform to support the New Zealand government's Covid-19 response. With no existing digital foundations and policy requirements changing rapidly, they needed a solution that could be delivered in weeks, not years. They engaged the vendor, Alphero, for the design and development of the My Covid Record website.

Alphero created a scalable, modular, and highly accessible website that allowed users to generate vaccine passes and report test results. The solution was built with a flexible design system and independent features to accommodate evolving requirements. The platform was a massive success, with 3.5 million people (63% of the NZ population) signing up. It generated 5.5 million vaccine passes and became an exemplar for future digitized health services for Health NZ - Te Whatu Ora.
