Should I build my Telehealth app in Elixir?

Hi, everyone!
I have a SaaS for medical clinics and I’ll be building a telehealth module for my clients (patient to doctor, 1-to-1 calls).

I’m considering Elixir, but my first option would be Node.js. Has anyone built something similar? Any suggestions on how you would approach this?

I would recommend using Phoenix + Ash + Surface UI for this project.

  • Ash will help defining the models and api endpoints
  • Surface UI will make easier to create liveviews for people that comes from react.js

With these considerations you can create a professional software and have all the good parts of Elixir and BEAM.

I think if you’re asking here, there might be a bias in the responses you get :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

But this statement reminded me of this recent blog post:

That is exactly what is meant by 'technical risk and shortest time to market"

Live react is a better choice than surface: https://live-react-examples.fly.dev/simple

I am sorry - for my sake - I replied to your message by mistake, instead of the OP.
go in peace.
