Mobile Healthcare App
Challenge
As healthcare professionals, caretakers, as well as patients become mobile, it is necessary for healthcare applications to take advantage of mobile devices to deliver information securely to the authorized audience.
Our client, a Fortune 50 healthcare company, wanted to launch a mobile application for securely sharing patient’s healthcare information over mobile devices such as Blackberry, iPhone, and Android phones. Additionally, the client wanted to organize the health information with everything in one place, enter the data once and use it in several ways and gain insight with data that helps make informed decisions.
Our Solution
Our professionals analyzed the business and technical challenges. We proposed using Microsoft Healthvault as a central repository for storing patient’s healthcare information. We developed an easy-to-use application that can work on Blackberry, iPhone and Android phones. These mobile apps securely integrated with custom web services which interfaced with Microsoft Healthvault. For displaying attractive graphs, we integrated Google Analytics into the mobile app.
Moreover, we designed customized alerts that doctors and caretakers can set for each patient based on certain health parameters. These alerts were automatically triggered and delivered to the doctor(s) and caretaker(s) on their mobile devices.
