About the project
Overview
We helped a healthcare leader in fighting Type 1 diabetes with a comprehensive app suite. Main users of the app are both families and patients. Our solution streamlines communication, simplifies data tracking, and provides access to educational resources.
BUSINESS REQUIREMENT
The app needed to be highly accessible for children with Type 1 diabetes and their family. Easy navigation and simple interactions were key to the app. Users should get a sense of confidence when using the app.
Key Features Requested
- Comprehensive health tracking for key health points like blood glucose level, insulin usage, carbohydrate intake, water intake and sleep patterns.
- E-commerce integration for marketplace, purchasable courses and consulting platform
- User friendly design for easy monitoring of the data by parents. The data should also link to the nurse’s application.
OUR SOLUTION
We drafted a solution that would be intuitive, able to scale in the future and keep the user experience non complicated even when dealing with large databases. The client was happy with this iteration and the development commenced.
CHALLENGES IN EXECUTION & SOLUTIONS
The real-time fetching of glucose readings proved to be the only major challenge since even with the use of Terra API the functionality is not the same as that of the official mobile app of Freestyle Libre.
OUR SOLUTION
OUR APPROACH
We followed an agile methodology with sprint planning, iterative design and development, rigorous testing, and regular client engagement.
- We prioritized open communication with the client, from the evaluation stage.Through ongoing discussions, we identified the need for a CGM Sensor (Dexcom/Freestyle Libre) and a starter subscription to Terra API.This combination would enable a Proof of Concept (POC) for fetching real-time glucose readings utilizing the Terra API.Furthermore, we conducted a thorough analysis to estimate the integration time required for each feature within the application. We then factored in the time needed for post-development testing to guarantee a high-quality final product.
RESULTS
The diabetes management app is helping children and their families live normal lives, even with Type 1 diabetes management.
Apart from the core functionalities of health tracking and seamless communication the integration of e-commerce functionalities have simplified daily life for the users. The innovations done are helping our client’s users lead fuller lives.
