Overview

Dr. Satchin Panda, an eminent professor of Biology in the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California wanted to research on how daily activities, habits and behaviours influence health and wellbeing.

He approached us to develop a mobile app where users could log their daily activities, track health behaviours and generate personalized insights into their body’s daily rhythms. The purpose of the app was to study the effects of timing food intake in humans from the data provided by the users

About

The Circadian Clock is a health app that enables users to track their daily health behaviours with time logs such as eating, sleeping, moving, and taking supplements and medicines. The data gathered from the users is shared with top researchers who are investigating how daily timing of these behaviours influence health and wellbeing.

The Need

Develop app for both Android and iOS.
Participants would be able to log their activities such as daily food intake, sleep, exercise, supplements intake and medication.
Participants can share food images with research coordinators to track their daily activities.
Integrate app with Google Fit and Apple HealthKit to collect information of steps count, distance cycled, heart rate, walking and sleeping data with the consent of the participants.
Participants would be able to participate in an automatic scheduled survey as set by the researchers.
The app should be able to collect survey data from participants and share it with researchers.
The app can generate a custom Feedogram chart for the participants to view their daily activities such as food, sleep, exercise, health, sleeping and heart rate data.

What We Did?

Develop coordinator portal to view logged data
Develop backend API
Using data encryption to secure data transmission
Develop app using HIPAA compliant infrastructure
Enable data save, share and sync on offline mode

Integrate Google Fit and Apple Health Kit
Develop plotting of custom charts feature on the app
Auto syncing data with server upon login
Storing images and other files securely to cloud storage
Optimise app code to enhance app performance

Result

Participants can track sleep habits and analyze their sleep quality.
They can Track their exercise routine, health vitals and health LAB reports.
Research coordinators and participants can view feedogram timeline of food, and supplements intake.
Scientists can create valuable insights for research using the data collected from various participants.
Participants can set reminders for medicine intake and receive customized health surveys and tips.

It was a really nice experience working with Andolasoft. Their mobile app development team are real professionals who grasped my app development idea well. Although I changed the project workflow several times during the development phase, the developers were able to fulfil all of my requirements. Andolasoft exceeded my expectations on many fronts and I would suggest Andolasoft to anyone who wants to develop a successful mobile app.
