Project description

The Homedics software comprises a suite of applications specifically designed to operate medical devices: Homedics Health+, Equate Heart Health+, and BP Health.

The primary goal was the creation of a set of replicable apps that would allow the producer to easily apply software for devices sold under own label, white label and branded by major medical retailers. Each app allows for the integration of medical devices with smartphones, assisting users in conveniently reading and storing records of blood pressure, heart rate monitoring, and blood oxygenation levels. All readings are saved without requiring internet access, directly on the mobile device, ensuring accessibility and security. Additionally, the applications facilitate the processing of information from other devices through integrations with Apple Health and Google Fit apps.

About the problem

Operating medical devices via applications offers users many benefits, such as a more advanced UI and more intuitive handling. However, for many users, the most important aspects are the reliability and security of such a solution.

Homedics' applications that does not require internet access:

ensure seamless usability in any condition

facilitate access for older generations who do not use internet connections

enhance security by avoiding the need to store test results in the cloud

Software Development
Homedics Health+ implementation

Our starting point was an outdated app written in an obscure Android language that had been abandoned. Thus, we revamped the Homedics Health+ platform using Flutter technology.

4 months
Software Development
Equate Heart Health+ & BP Health implementation

Next in line were the Equate Heart Health+ & BP Health applications, which we also rewrote in Flutter, a more modern, superior, and standards-compliant platform over which we have full control.

1 month
Data migration
Between legacy & whitelabel apps

After uploading the applications to iOS and Android stores, the next step was to add the ability to migrate data and test results between the old and new applications.

2 months
Product Scaling
Integration with Apple Health & Google Fit

During this phase, our aim was to seamlessly integrate with Google Health and Apple Fit applications, ensuring that data from these platforms seamlessly synchronizes with Homedics' apps.

Technical description

Flutter is a very flexible, cross-platform tool that allows creating hybrid applications for both iOS and Android devices. It has a great support for visually striking effects like animations, while being lightweight and easy to use. Also its flexibility allows the interfaces to look pretty much identical across platforms.
