The challenge
Three products for very different settings: semi-trained health workers in rural Nigeria with no reliable connectivity, respiratory specialists who needed objective lung-sound records, and US dental practices looking for new patients.
What the system had to handle
- Clinical workflows that run fully offline and sync later
- Sensitive health data stored and shared securely
- Guided steps that semi-trained staff can follow
- Two-sided experiences for practices and patients
Our role
End-to-end technology partner on all three products: solution design, rules engine and offline-first Android app for FFGH; audio capture engine and guided recording for Krakel; web, mobile and backend platform for Plutus.
