Client:
MedHealth Systems Inc.
A leading healthcare provider offering remote patient monitoring, chronic disease management, and healthcare analytics. MedHealth Systems specializes in providing integrated care through digital health platforms that improve patient outcomes and reduce operational costs.
Project Overview:
MedHealth Systems wanted to develop a comprehensive healthcare management platform that would enable real-time patient monitoring, automate healthcare workflows, and integrate medical devices seamlessly with both web and mobile applications. The primary goals were to:
Improve patient engagement by offering them access to their health data and care plans.
Enable healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ vitals and health conditions.
Automate processes for scheduling, notifications, alerts, and data analysis
Provide an intuitive and user-friendly experience for both healthcare providers and patients.
Ensure that the platform supports a wide range of medical IoT devices like heart rate monitors, glucose meters, and blood pressure cuffs.
Challenges:
Device Interoperability: Integrating various medical IoT devices with different communication protocols (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee) and ensuring that data was accurately captured and transferred to the platform.
Real-time Data Processing: Ensuring that patient data was processed and displayed in real-time on the mobile and web interfaces for both patients and healthcare providers
Automation of Health Alerts & Workflow: Developing automated workflows that would trigger alerts, notifications, and care plan updates based on the patient’s data, as well as automating routine administrative tasks for healthcare providers.
Data Privacy & Compliance: Ensuring that patient data was securely stored and transmitted while complying with healthcare regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
User Experience: Designing a platform that would be simple enough for patients of all ages and technical skill levels to use while providing healthcare professionals with powerful tools for patient management.
Results:
Improved Patient Engagement: By offering patients easy access to their health data and enabling real-time feedback through notifications and alerts, patient engagement increased by 40%. Patients reported feeling more in control of their health and had better adherence to their care plans.
Increased Operational Efficiency: Automation of tasks like scheduling, follow-ups, and alerts reduced administrative overhead by over 50%, allowing healthcare providers to spend more time on direct patient care rather than administrative duties.
Proactive Healthcare: Predictive analytics and real-time monitoring enabled healthcare providers to intervene early, reducing hospital readmission rates by 30% for patients with chronic conditions.
Enhanced Remote Monitoring: With the ability to monitor patients remotely, the platform reduced the need for in-person visits, which was especially valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic. This allowed for continuous care, even during lockdowns and travel restrictions.
Cost Savings: By automating workflows and reducing in-person visits, MedHealth Systems saw a 20% reduction in operational costs, while improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Web and Mobile Application Development:
We developed an integrated web-based platform and cross-platform mobile application (using React Native) to provide healthcare professionals and patients with access to the same core features:
Patient Dashboard: Patients could access their real-time health data, including heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, and more, directly from their mobile devices. They could also view trends over time and receive insights about their health.
Provider Dashboard: Healthcare providers had access to a consolidated dashboard that allowed them to monitor multiple patients at once, set health goals, schedule follow-ups, and track progress.
Video Consultations: Patients and healthcare providers could engage in remote consultations via built-in video conferencing, ensuring continuous care, especially for patients with mobility issues or in remote locations.
Task Automation: Routine tasks such as appointment scheduling, billing, reminders for medication, and follow-ups were automated, reducing administrative workload and improving operational efficiency
Device Automation:
The automation of medical device data collection, processing, and response systems was key to enhancing patient care and minimizing manual interventions:
Automated Alerts and Notifications: The system automatically triggered alerts to healthcare providers when a patient’s readings exceeded pre-defined thresholds (e.g., dangerously high blood pressure or abnormal glucose levels). These alerts were sent via the mobile app, email, and SMS.
Remote Adjustments and Recommendations: In some cases, automated decisions were made based on the data — for example, adjusting a patient’s care plan or medication based on changes in vitals. For example, if a patient's heart rate spikes, the system would suggest a possible emergency care step, or trigger an immediate video call with a doctor
Predictive Analytics: We implemented machine learning algorithms to predict potential health risks by analyzing historical health data. This proactive approach allowed healthcare providers to intervene before a condition became critical, improving patient outcomes.
Cloud Integration and Data Analytics:
The cloud infrastructure powered by AWS allowed for secure data storage, real-time data processing, and advanced analytics:
Data Aggregation: Patient data from various devices was aggregated in real-time, stored securely, and made accessible on both the web and mobile apps.
Data Security & Compliance: All patient data was encrypted both in transit and at rest to ensure HIPAA and GDPR compliance. The platform also provided role-based access, ensuring that only authorized healthcare providers could view sensitive patient data.
Health Insights & Reporting: The system generated detailed reports and analytics that helped healthcare providers make data-driven decisions about patient care. This included predictive analytics for chronic disease management, medication adherence, and preventive care.
IoT Integration:
We integrated a variety of medical IoT devices such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, smart thermometers, ECG devices, and wearable health trackers into the healthcare platform. Key elements of the integration included:
Real-time Data Streaming: Devices were connected using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, sending data to the central cloud platform in real-time, which was then synced with both the mobile app and the web dashboard.
Data Normalization: Data from different devices were standardized and processed through the cloud platform to ensure that the values were comparable and accurate for clinical decisionmaking.
Device Health Monitoring: IoT sensors provided real-time diagnostics of the devices themselves, alerting healthcare providers when a device needed calibration or maintenance.
Innovative Healthcare & Medical Application Overview
We design and develop on-demand doctor apps so carrier
patients can see doctors thousands of miles away. Apps like Conduet-Med are very popular
given the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
With the help of this medical app, online visits to doctors for treatment and care
are made easier. This app is for certified physical and mental health professionals.
This app allows patients to make requests by entering details and requesting medical
services. The doctor accepts this request and can then add notes or contact the patient
to discuss diagnosis and treatment.
Our clients are from the United States and are entrepreneurs who are concerned about
health issues. Even if the patient needs urgent care, the doctor is not available around
the clock. He decided to create an on-demand app for doctors that connects doctors and
patients so that everyone has an equal opportunity to receive health care.

What they’re saying
The Appicoders team is great for the job. Every part of the process went according to the agreed schedule and the finished prototype was met and in many cases exceeded my expectations. While Appicoders isn't the most price competitive among the offers I've received, the quality of their work, professionalism, and products makes the extra cost worth it. I highly recommend their service and will continue to use it for future projects.
