My Therapy Companion App

Business Challenge

Before starting the development of the medical app, the customer executed the detailed market research in order MVP could take the place in the medical niche. Hence, it included competitors’ analysis. Based on the results of this analysis, the customer identified following:

• What competitor’s software lacks, which features are missing
• What functionality should be offered for the potential symptom tracking app user.

The initial businees plan was to launch the application in Switzerland and find the medical institutions to use the developed solution. The next step – to promote the solution in other countries. After successful implementation of the mobile application and receiving feedback from the market customer will be able to plan how to extend the functionality of the medical app.

Our Solution

The tracking app consists of 2 medical apps, in particular, the doctor’s and the patient’s app. Patients log in to the application and can keep the diary of diseases, where it is possible to describe what hurts (disease – complaints – symptoms – score on the scale). Also, patients can get in touch with their doctor through the app. The doctor sees all the complaints, patient appeals, the dynamics of the disease, and statistics in the form of graphs.

In the MVP version diseases could be selected from the following one’s:

• Cancer 
• Cardio 
• Locomotor 
• Respiratory 

After disease selection, the patient defines the body part that hurts and choose the symptoms. Then the patient defines the date, day period morning – noon – night and scores the pain. If the severity of the pain is high this patient receives an alert with the proposition to call the doctor. App users can either call the doctor or ignore the shown message. The doctor also receives an alert as soon as the user creates the record with high pain severity.

The patient’s well-being graph is available for the patient and his doctor. The graph presents days of records (during the last 7 days) and severity records. Below the graph special switchers are located for body parts with recorded symptoms. Switchers stand for visibility of corresponding lines on the graph and could be turned on/off.
