Development of a Multi-Source Patient Data Collection and Monitoring Mobile Application

The client faces difficulties in enabling comprehensive tracking of patient movements and health metrics through passive and active data sources, especially ensuring functionality during device off modes and maintaining data security and compliance. Additionally, there is a need to integrate various sensor data and provide real-time feedback to facilitate remote patient monitoring and assessment.

A mid-sized healthcare technology company focused on developing innovative mobile health solutions to enhance patient monitoring and data collection for clinical and wellness purposes.

• Create a mobile application for both Android and iOS platforms allowing seamless collection of patient health metrics.
• Implement secure user authentication with GDPR-compliant account management and data access controls.
• Develop an emergency notification system, including a flare or panic button feature for patient safety.
• Integrate questionnaires and active assessment tools for patient feedback and self-assessment.
• Enable passive data collection from wearable devices and smartphone sensors, ensuring reliable synchronization and storage.
• Facilitate pairing and management of wearable devices for continuous health monitoring.
• Incorporate multi-language support to cater to diverse patient populations.
• Support active tests such as image and video-based assessments, with capabilities like flash imaging and instructions.
• Ensure the app's architecture meets high standards for security, error handling, and user feedback integration.

• User Authentication and Account Management with OAuth2/OIDC
• GDPR-compliant Data Access and Deletion Mechanisms
• Emergency Flare Button for Immediate Alerts
• Questionnaire System for Patient Feedback
• Connectivity and Management for Wearable Devices
• Smartphone Sensor Data Collection (Location, Motion, etc.)
• Continuous Data Synchronization with Backend
• Local Data Storage with Periodic Backend Sync
• Active Testing Suite including Image Capture with Flash and Video-based Exercises with Instructions
• Third-party App Integration for Video and Assessments
• Multi-language Support (English, Greek, Dutch, Portuguese)
• Error Handling, User Feedback, and Debugging Tools

• Wearable SDKs (e.g., for Garmin or similar devices)
• Smartphone Sensors (accelerometer, GPS, camera)
• Third-party Video and Assessment Apps

• Secure data encryption during storage and transmission
• Support for multiple languages and internationalization
• High reliability and error handling with user feedback
• Scalable architecture supporting multiple users and devices
