Medical information management app

The Client

Our client helps people protect, preserve and prolong life. They are a MedTech company based in the southeastern USA concentrating on services and solutions based on combining the power of Brain Thermodynamics, Internet of Things and Predictive Models using AI with generating revenue of $20 million a year.

The Idea behind the app

The client envisioned an app which shall help old citizens of the USA live an easy life. This app should eliminate the necessity for transportation of visits to the premises of the doctor. It should be done virtually! For this, the app should have a day to day track of the food consumed to the exercises done & rest taken for an individual with a feature to send the data directly to the doctor via in app messenger or email & text.
The client wanted to reduce the overall development cost of the software part of their system. They already had hardware developed which was used to capture the body temperature & other information to create a report with charts that helps medical professionals to consult the patient.
It was important to have a mobile app which is gathering data from the device and passing it to the main system where all the reports were being created automatically. Seamless and precise connection was required between the system, mobile app and the device.
The client wanted an offshore resource team to handle this challenge.

The Solution

After a few brainstorming meetings our tech analyst prepared a pitch-perfect plan to execute this project with utmost value-addition, firstly we worked on the mobile designs which demonstrated all the functional aspects of the front-end designs.
According to the client's needs & idea the app was divided into 2 apps one for Doctor & other for Patient which shared a mutual communication & reporting platform between both apps.
Once the designs were ready & approved by the clients, individual Android and iOS teams were working on mobile apps under the mentorship of our Sr. software engineer developing backend functions.
Backend development took place on Azure cloud to provide scalability and flexibility with secured data storage and API structure was built for easy communication between the native apps & the backend architecture.
The apps are built with multi user management functionality where a patient can manage multiple doctors & a doctor can manage multiple patients under one account.

Patient App

The native patient app was functionally built to input manual day-to-day data about their daily routine consisting of Food intake, rest timeline, exercise routine, vitals & energy level. The app presents daily log charts as a report based on the input data. It can be shown as a medical record of the patient which can be sent to the doctor for the consultation.
If there are any important specifications to be recorded or stored for a longer period of time, the Patient app has a functionality to store such information in the Journal tab. The Journal tab can be used as a day-to-day tracking which maintaines date, journal title, description, patient’s medications, & their pain levels which can be directly share with their consulting doctor if any changes needed in their medications.
Also the patient has the liberty to maintain their profile dashboard where they can display all their personal information, health information, data logs, list of doctors & their message board.

Doctor App

The doctor app consists of a login functionality once logged in the doctors can review the list of their patients with their reports & message board.
Also the doctors can maintain their profile where they can share their own profile with any patient via a QR code scan, their ID number or an email invitation.
