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.

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

Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs are designed to help people ages 16 years and above who did not have the privilege to complete their regular school education. These programs are often operated by Community Colleges and are aimed at helping these students to learn basic skills like reading, writing, listening, speaking, and doing math. Many ABE students complete the program bypassing the “high school equivalency” exam and receiving a diploma or some other certificate for their education. Many ABE students complete the program bypassing the “high school equivalency” exam and receiving a diploma or some other certificate for their education. For a myriad of reasons, people in Adult Basic Education (ABE) have a hard time staying engaged and completing the program. However, it is also challenging for schools and organizations to provide ABE programs to retain their students.

The State Government only pays for those students who reach certain milestones while attending the programs. If a student is recruited and starts the program, but does not reach the first milestone, then the school will not get paid for educating that student. So, to keep the process running smoothly, the schools have a significant incentive to retain such students in any (legal) way possible.

AdvanceNet Labs along with their co-partners Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) saw this gap in the market and decided to come up with a product that could help both the students and the educational institutions.

EDUCATION

APPROACH

Schools and organizations need to keep their students engaged and motivated to continue through the program via quality communication. It is so, as the students who receive proper guidance through their schools are more likely to complete their education. 

To fulfill this essential requirement of schools and students, the idea for WorkReady Mobile came into existence intending to help everyone stay connected and informed. The strategy was to develop it as a central source of communication between administrators, instructors, and students.
Moreover, to convert this idea into an effective reality, AdvanceNet Labs contacted our teams at BrainX to do their magic.
EDUCATION

SOLUTION

WorkReady Mobile is a dream app for both schools and students. Our team has designed a platform where adult students can get virtual training in their desired fields, without going to schools and attending proper classes.

Technically, it is a multi-tenant product that is synchronized between the web and mobile app platforms. WorkReady Mobile has many customizable features including its custom UI aspect for the varying needs of customers.

Moreover, it supports multiple languages with various methods of communication including in-app messages, push notifications, SMS, and e-mails. In addition to that, it also provides smart reporting tools for the admin – making it an admirable and user-friendly platform.
EDUCATION

IMPACT

WorkReady Mobile has helped many adults to complete their ABE programs as well as the schools trying to retain such students.


The platform aided the schools and organizations with the following:

  • Managing everything from orientation to graduation
  • Increasing their graduation rate
  • Retaining more students
  • Helping students focus on goals
  • Modernizing accessibility

Note: The use of WorkReady Mobile bloomed during the COVID season, with the significant demand for online education.
