Experience
StatBridge Hardware Development
I designed and built an offline hardware solution that created a WiFi hotspot to serve a web app designed to collect health screening data over that hotspot.
This allowed our clients to use our web app in places without Internet availability. The hardware could also connect to the internet to receive software updates, track billing, and configuration changes.
The app was also highly customizable, allowing each client to uniquely tailor the app to their needs, from custom questions, workflows, and reports.
