HEALTHCARE

OPPORTUNITY

Bariatric surgery may become necessary if diet and exercise haven't helped or if you're suffering severe health problems due to your weight. Bariatric surgery involves procedures that make adjustments to your digestive system to help you lose weight. These are some major surgeries and require some pre-op and post-op dietary changes to prepare the human body. 



Baritastic is a mobile app made just to simplify that process for the patients with its unique health tracking options for weight loss. Baritastic as a company was acquired by one of our previous clients named Tespo and was immediately handed over to BrainX for all development-related tasks based on our unparalleled and reliable development services. The task at hand was to revamp and maintain the current version of the mobile app for both Android and iOS platforms

HEALTHCARE

APPROACH

Since this app was initially being handled by another team, BrainX had a big challenge to first set foot in the app’s backend environment. The app was built using the CakePHP frameworks, which were pretty old to manage along with future requirements. In addition to that, there were some UI/UX-related issues that were hampering the experience & overall performance of the product.


Baritastic’s user base was quite large which means a lot of data to be processed. It generally took minutes instead of seconds to get the required response from the backend, therefore optimizing the backend was one of the major technical challenges to be addressed by BrainX. . Therefore, after grabbing all the necessary instructions for Baritastic, a team of expert backend engineers was formed. Later on, our core mobile development team jumped in to ensure sound builds with particular attention to the accuracy of those health tracker APIs.

HEALTHCARE

SOLUTION

Our team was focused on turning the old lagging app into a stable health and fitness app that could bring out the most accurate results while actually serving to be a surgery prep app for bariatric surgery patients. Since the previous team didn’t follow the coding standards, our team had no other choice than to revamp the web dashboard from scratch.

Our team managed to take hold of the project within 3-4 months and developed a new and improved dashboard using VUE JS and  PHP Laravel. These new developments resulted in a much better customer experience that included faster processing time and easier new client onboarding.

Other enhancements injected some fantastic features that would allow the patients to lose weight without having much to worry about. The current app contains a range of tracking options, including,

  • Nutrition Tracking
  • Weight Tracking
  • Exercise Tracking
  • Measurement Tracking
  • Assorted Reminders

Besides these tracking options, Baritastic offers added features like Patient Journal (for logging thoughts, taking pictures, and rating hunger & happiness), Newbie Checklists (for staying on task and getting to the surgeries), Bariatric Specific Recipes, and Baritastic Social Support Group.
Nevertheless, now team BrainX is conveniently on the support stage for both their web and mobile app where it’s easier for us to implement any future enhancements and customization.
HEALTHCARE

IMPACT

Baritastic now falls in the top 100 medical apps in the US, with 500,000+ users onboard. Its revenue for the year 2021 totaled a whopping 1 million USD. After this enormous success, Tespo was able to sell it to the pharmaceutical giant Metagenics.

OPPORTUNITY

Family physicians are a thing of the past. In contrast, emergency rooms or specialists are now the go-to for medical care. Visits to all these places lead to a heap of medical records, making organizing and storing them an incredible hassle.


That’s why Priority AG started ideating a unique platform Blutwerte, translated as Blood values, to help digitize anyone’s medical records securely and anonymously. So, the next time you or one of your family members visit the doctor, you don’t have to fret over finding, carrying, or misplacing old healthcare records.


Another vision for the platform was to help you track your health records and notify whether you or your loved ones are in proper shape. Upon finding any deviation in the blood values, you will receive an evaluation of the issue and how it might have occurred.
Given the project's scope, Priority AG understood they required a mobile and web app to make the platform functional.

Health

APPROACH

The BrainX team worked hand in hand with Priority AG to develop the Blutwerte platform from scratch. Key stakeholders carried out numerous meetings. The client shared respective documents, and requirements were agreed upon after reviewing them.

According to our company practices, Agile methodology was adopted to set milestones. So, the product was delivered in sprints. The client tested the provided application at each sprint’s end and gave feedback for any improvements.

Health

SOLUTION

The BrainX team designed an interactive user interface for their mobile app with the target audience of 18-55 in mind, utilizing the latest SwiftUI and native iOS frameworks. The web app, which serves as an Admin Panel, was built with the MERN stack to ensure scalability.

The promise of anonymity is upheld without the need for user login. The app implements secure storage mechanisms to ensure that no personal information is collected or stored from users, even during in-app uploads. Medical records can be added without the need for users to reveal any personal information about themselves or others.

Users have the option to provide blood values through manual entry or by uploading an image or PDF file. The uploaded files are only temporarily stored during the digitization process and are promptly removed from the backend servers. Only the blood values are used to monitor a user's health and are securely stored locally on their device. 

The mobile app features include the following:

  • Profile creation for friends and family (1-5 profiles for a single user/phone)
  • Adding lab reports 
  • Setting biomarkers and their units to keep track of the blood values
  • Getting blood value evaluations for different profiles
  • Viewing biomarker progression charts
  • Encyclopedia for viewing information on biomarkers 
  • Dictionary to look up medical terms 
  • Multi-Language support for German and English
The app only requires the correct age and gender to maintain a reference range of biomarkers for any profile.
Health

IMPACT

Health garners the utmost attention from parents. Now with the app, parents maintain their children’s medical records in one place for consultations or day-to-day monitoring.

Generally, most users are trying to utilize the app to monitor their blood values and keep their health concerns in check. It’s not wrong to say Blutwerte helps save and improve people’s lives– daily. 

In the next stage of development, the app might let users easily consult with different clinics or healthcare providers for quick advice. Another feature to be excited about, in future versions, is the app's ability to provide dynamic suggestions.

    OPPORTUNITY

    Non-adherence to medication claims the lives of about 125,000 people each year. Medesto was created to address this medicine adherence issue, saving lives and improving health outcomes. The project “Medesto” is an evolved form of an earlier solution named Tespo. Tespo's integrated, in-home technology has helped reinvent the vitamin by introducing a new category of nutritional supplements.


    At the touch of a button, Tespo's patent-pending customized Pods and WiFi-connected vitamin dispenser delivered a personalized liquid vita-shot. This whole system was connected to a smartphone app that helped track every intake of the patient. As a consequence, people were able to take their vitamins on a regular basis, track their progress, and obtain better results.

    HEALTHCARE

    APPROACH


    On the product side, there was a concern that some vita-shots tasted so bitter that the patients were unable to engulf them. So, the need for Medesto arose. In this new solution, the concept was almost the same, but they pivoted the liquid part back to pills (but the ones that could easily be swallowed). Pods and dispensers would give out these pills, and the app would track the patient's adherence.



    So, Team BrainX, on the basis of their previous great performance, was given the task of revamping the mobile app & dashboard as per the new product model. Thus, without letting a moment slip, Team BrainX collected all the requirements thoroughly, and a team of our seasoned mobile & web app developers was assigned to the project.


    Medesto's design team provided us with their latest designs and then our core mobile development team went in to successfully implement those designs while ensuring that all builds were solid, paying particular attention to the accuracy of the adherence tracker APIs.

    HEALTHCARE

    SOLUTION

    Our team had the challenge of shifting the vita-shot model to a pill intake model altogether. More so, with the new app coming up, it required some enhanced features as well. Our team, as always, gave in their best efforts and was successful in creating a multi-featured app that can revolutionize the way people take their medication. 

    Here are some notable features that we successfully delivered:

    • Patients can check real-time data for medication adherence and overall health
    • Health trackers like Fitbit can be linked with the app
    • A patient can add Caregivers, Physicians, and other fellow patients to their profile to help monitor and improve medication adherence behavior
    • In-app and Push Notifications for reminders and follow-up schedules
    Features on the Admin Dashboard:
    • A thorough listing of all the patients
    • Patient grouping on the basis of commonalities
    • Adherence data of all the patients

    Nonetheless, BrainX is continuously developing new features for the Medesto app & dashboard, making the system more robust & useful for both patients & pharmacies.
    HEALTHCARE

    IMPACT

    As per public statistics, medication adherence is roughly 50% for those with numerous chronic illnesses. Around 45 percent of people may not properly comprehend how to take their prescription, while another 20% encounter negative effects and discontinue use. 

    However, Medesto is now proudly helping people simplify these medication adherence problems. According to internal research, the Medesto Health Platform increased prescription adherence by 40% by sending reminders to platform users and enabling the participation of caregivers.
