As healthcare brands look to the future, smartwatch sensors present a more accessible option for improved telehealth care. A technology company dedicated to helping people with disabilities maintain in-home independence had plans to use smartwatch sensor data to improve patient monitoring and assistance.
Solution
Discovery and development
In less than one week, Toptal assembled an expert team consisting of a project manager, a Wear OS developer, and a wearable app designer. The team built a strategy to develop an MVP for the smartwatch app in just 11 weeks and within the client’s budget.
Critical foundational technology through AWS
This team utilized AWS to build a mobile app back end that aggregates information from smartwatch sensors using AWS Lambda and Amazon S3, with an accessible interface designed for disabled and elderly patients. Over the course of the project, the client expanded their Toptal team into new areas and worked with 12 Toptal specialists to further development across their brand.
Outcome
Lowering costs with speed and efficiency
In a competitive smartwatch market, Toptal’s efficiency saved the client over 50% in app development costs and provided a path to a quick go-to-market strategy. The client continues to leverage Toptal experts for ongoing projects, including the next iteration of both their tablet and wearable apps, IoT integration, and cybersecurity improvements.
Raising the bar for patient care technology
After beta testing is complete, the app created by Toptal’s team will be rolled out to hundreds of disabled individuals across the US. The client’s innovative, easy-to-use smartwatch technology will make in-home living an option for many who would otherwise rely on facility care.
