Innovative Digital Therapeutic Platform for Personalized Physical Activity Monitoring and Behavior Change

The client’s existing healthcare software infrastructure is built on a legacy codebase with significant technical debt, resulting in frequent bugs, performance bottlenecks, and difficulty in adding new features. As they seek to expand their user base and offer more sophisticated, scalable services, system performance and maintainability issues pose substantial barriers. Additionally, the lack of automated testing and documentation hampers development efficiency and scalability. This impedes their ability to deliver reliable, compliant, and innovative digital health therapies at scale.

A mid-sized healthcare technology company developing evidence-based digital therapeutics aimed at improving patient health outcomes through personalized activity programs supported by wearable device integrations.

• Transform the existing legacy systems into modern, maintainable architectures supporting high scalability and performance
• Implement automated testing frameworks and comprehensive documentation to enhance development agility and reliability
• Integrate data collection from wearable health devices (e.g., Apple Watch, FitBit) to enable real-time health data tracking and analysis
• Develop secure, compliant portals for healthcare providers to access and monitor patient data, ensuring adherence to GDPR, HIPAA, and medical device regulations
• Create an intuitive content management platform delivering condition-specific educational and intervention content for diverse chronic conditions
• Incorporate motivational incentive mechanisms to promote user engagement and facilitate lasting behavioral change
• Obtain necessary regulatory certifications (e.g., FDA Class 1, ISO 13485, ISO 27001) to establish trust and compliance within medical device and health data frameworks

• Wearable device data integration for real-time health metrics collection
• Automated data processing pipelines to pass information to user and provider dashboards
• A comprehensive content management system supporting multiple medical conditions and personalized program prescriptions
• Role-based secure web portals for patient and healthcare provider access with compliance to GDPR, HIPAA, and medical regulations
• Motivational systems incorporating rewards, incentives, and behavioral nudges to enhance user engagement
• Automated testing and documentation frameworks to ensure code quality and maintainability
• Certification support accessible for regulatory compliance including FDA, ISO standards

• Wearable devices APIs (Apple HealthKit, Fitbit API) for health data ingestion
• Secure data portals for healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, employers)
• Regulatory compliance services for certification and audit readiness
• Notification and incentive systems to promote user engagement

• System scalability to support increasing user base and concurrent data flows
• High performance with minimal latency for real-time data updates
• Security and compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, FDA, and ISO standards
• System availability and fault tolerance to ensure continuous operation
• Automated testing, deployment, and monitoring to support ISO and FDA certification maintenance

This project is expected to significantly enhance the client’s capacity to deliver scalable, compliant, and personalized health interventions, leading to improved patient outcomes and increased user engagement. Anticipated results include improved reliability and performance of the platform, the ability to support larger user populations, and successful achievement and maintenance of key regulatory certifications—ultimately driving growth, trust, and market competitiveness in digital health therapeutics.
