Development of a Companion Mobile App to Enhance Rapid Diagnostic Testing and Patient Engagement

The client faces significant hurdles in ensuring prompt diagnosis and treatment of critical health conditions using rapid testing kits. Current processes result in only 33% of diagnosed patients receiving treatment within one hour, risking increased mortality, higher healthcare costs, and suboptimal patient outcomes.

A healthcare organization or medical device company focused on developing rapid diagnostic tests and supporting digital tools for patient monitoring.

• Increase patient engagement and onboarding efficiency with the rapid diagnostic tests through a dedicated digital app.
• Maximize the ratio of tests issued to results recorded within the app to enhance data collection and monitoring.
• Optimize test result accuracy and reliability by integrating with the app's workflow processes.
• Ensure comprehensive and consistent user data collection to facilitate effective follow-up and care management.
• Develop an accessible, user-friendly interface supporting rapid adoption among diverse patient populations.

• Patient onboarding module to guide users through test procedures and data entry.
• Test result recording interface that enables real-time capture of test outcomes, ensuring high data accuracy.
• User profile management to store relevant demographic and health data securely.
• Notifications and alerts to prompt timely testing and follow-up actions.
• Data analytics dashboard for healthcare providers to monitor test usage, results, and patient engagement metrics.
• Secure data storage compliant with healthcare regulations to ensure patient privacy.
• Integration with external laboratory or diagnostic devices where applicable.
• Multi-platform support (mobile and web) to maximize accessibility.

• Diagnostic device APIs for test result data transmission
• Notification services for patient and healthcare provider alerts
• Data storage and analytics platforms to enable reporting and monitoring

• Ensure system scalability to handle increasing test volumes and user load
• Maintain data privacy and security in compliance with healthcare regulations
• Achieve rapid response times for user interactions and data processing
• Implement high availability architecture to ensure system uptime

This project aims to significantly enhance the timely diagnosis and treatment rates, potentially increasing treatment within one hour from 33% to a higher proportion, reducing mortality and healthcare costs associated with delayed intervention. It is expected to improve patient engagement, optimize data collection, and support healthcare providers with actionable insights, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and operational efficiencies.
