Remote Patient Monitoring App Case Study

Product Analysis and Design | Mobile App Development

Check-up is a virtual waiting room bringing family and loved ones together in times of need. It is the perfect solution for sharing real-time updates on a patient in a hospital with distant family members.

The client was seeking a patient monitoring app that would make it easy and very less stressful for patients. The idea was to share real-time updates on a patient in a hospital with distant family members.

THE CLIENT

The client, a medical provider, wanted to make it possible for the distant family members to get real-time updates on a hospital patient. So, he wanted us to create an easy-to-use patient monitoring app that can reduce the stress of the patients’ families.

The objective was to allow one person to share updates with everyone they invite to a group. Topics could cover when a patient is finished with surgery or when they are being released.

How We Worked On The Project

Planning

We started the project with a concrete plan with the help of our experienced designers and developers.

We decided to use tones that can establish an overall sense of tranquility essential to help users focus on the important features of the app. So we picked cold colors for the background of the app.

We decided to use a combination of robust frameworks, languages, and tools to make the solution real-time and scalable.

Our Checklist for this project:

Multiple waiting rooms directly from the dashboard
Appointment reminders and updates
Multiple queues to the waiting rooms that are being managed
Keeping real-time update of the patient’s progress in the queue
Sending and receiving text messages

The Results

The finished app exceeded all client expectations. We succeeded in creating an easy-to-use app with real-time notification. Also, it made it possible for all in a waiting room to share comments, ask questions and navigate an interactive map.

Overall, we were happy to provide a full spectrum of end-to-end services including Prototype and flow Design, Software Architecture, native iOS development, back-end database architecture and API development, and App Store deployment.

The benefits our client is getting from this app is outstanding:

One-stop solution for clinics and walk-in clinics
For large groups and hospitals enterprise solution
The enterprise solution handles 100,000 patient visits per month
Hospitals can send millions of text messages per year
