Challenge
We were tasked with developing an Android app that could not only connect medical grade devices to your phone via Bluetooth LE to record vital measurements, collect and share pictures from your device, track GPS location, stream and share all data information back to your friends, family or medical professionals but do so with a minimal delay of less than 1 second from anywhere in the world.
Solution
Our team worked worked with communication product experts at Iridium to send all user data via secure satellite connections via their proprietary hardware when internet connections are unavailable.
Strategy
Bluetooth
Establishing a secure wifi connection and using Bluetooth to gather stored data from medical devices to the phone was the first step. This was tested early on an proved successful when wifi was accessible.
No Internet, No Worries
Remote locations were introduced requiring the use of secure satellite connections to stream data where internet is non-existent. We used a team of professional mountaineers to test the apps capabilities on Mount Everest.
Data Speed
Data transfer delays then had to be kept to a maximum of 1 second to ensure user data is up to date and constantly available to friends, family and medical professionals monitoring from across the world.
