The Challenges

before-ring

Integration and synchronization between Apple HealthKit mobile app and Bluetooth based health monitoring hardware devices

The client was using third party Bluetooth based health monitoring devices such as blood sugar checker, blood pressure checker, heart bit monitor etc. The challenge was to create a set up between Bluetooth commands of devices and iOS Bluetooth patterns. To understand and to implement it was a crucial part. At the same time, the app has to be in sync with inbuilt iOS app- HealthKit and send the data to the server at regular intervals.

Brainvire’s intelligent development team studied the device specific Bluetooth commands thoroughly and developed a specific mapping functionality establishing sync between two. The HealthKit API exposed by Apple was utilized very well to receive essential health data transmission from HealthKit app to the desired app.

Solution

The Challenges

Exposure to new language

The developer team decided to go for Swift technology because of its adamant features, but the language was released in the market just 6 months ago. The relevant help and experience of the Swift language were not adequate with the team.

Brainvire set a system of well researched Swift Language where every member of the team was given proper training of the language and the team finally developed a mobile application in Swift Programming language and came up with a robust iOS based mobile application.

Responding to a notification without evoking the application

The client asked for an application containing the process that offers responses from the notifications only. The actions to be performed on the notification should reside in notification only.

The Brainvire’s team of developers utilized PushKit based notification mechanism and developed a background process that remains in active status and doesn’t invoke the whole app. The application can remain in kill status while the background process keeps continuously polling for the notifications.

Online presence status via socket based web services and seamless video calling experience

The online status should be changed once the doctor is logged in the application or vice versa, and it should reflect in the patient’s mobile application. Further, if the doctor is available online, the patient should be able to initiate a video call request and the whole experience of video calling must be a smooth and fruitful experience for both.

Brainvire’s excellent developers did an extensive research on socket based web services and came up with a solution for efficient online status checking mechanism. Also, the decision taken by developers to implement video SDK into the project was a crucial decision for the application. The result is that every functionality of video calling falls at its place appropriately.
