Client Requirements

The Client is an emerging healthcare company based in the US, focusing on unique approaches to resolving healthcare sector problem statements. The Client required a software solution for diabetic patients to find a sustainable lifestyle with the help of technology and behaviour change.

Providers and Health Coaches will get involved to track patient vitals and habits. They will assign Care programs to patients. The application also should educate people about Health awareness.

The Client wanted to integrate Devices to track the vitals of the Patient. Data needs to be stored securely and follow HIPAA compliance. There should be a Web Portal for Providers and Health Coaches and a Native Mobile App for Patients.

Thinkitive Solution

Thinkitive has started a discovery phase for this project with a team that includes Business analysts and Technical leads. All the requirements have been documented, and Sprint has been planned as per Milestones.

For Device Integration, CGM devices and Wearables are selected for tracking Vitals like Blood Glucose, Blood Pressure, Physical Activity, and Sleep. Devices like Libre CGM, Fitbit, and AppleHealth are used for Vital tracking. A mobile application has been natively created in iOS using Swift UI and in Android using Jetpack Compose frameworks. Provider Portal is built in Angular Typescript, and Backend Application is built in Spring Boot Java Framework using Microservices architecture.
