MedTrack Mobile

The Challenge

The client, a physical rehabilitation product company, developed a custom smart brace to monitor patient joint extensions. However, their initial mobile app prototype drained smartphone batteries within 3 hours. This battery drain occurred because the app held active Bluetooth Core connections continuously in the foreground to stream physical motion data.

Additionally, when patients locked their screens or the app transitioned to the background, iOS and Android operating systems terminated the Bluetooth threads. This data loss resulted in missing recovery records, leaving physical therapists without accurate metrics to track patient rehabilitation progress.

The Solution

Ankur Weldtech India engineered a native cross-platform application utilizing React Native, paired with optimized native bridging modules written in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. Instead of streaming data continuously, we configured a local-first caching mechanism using SQLite inside the smartphone. The brace stores data locally and pushes it to the mobile app in brief, compressed bundles.

To prevent system shutdowns, we configured native OS background threads utilizing CoreBluetooth and Android Background Services. The app wake loops execute sync sequences every 15 minutes, parsing vital records without draining the battery. We also created interactive joint motion layouts utilizing high-performance SVG animations.

Key Results

By rebuilding MedTrack Mobile, ANKUR successfully delivered a reliable background tracking experience. Patients now log recovery exercises automatically throughout the day, and rehabilitation clinics access accurate progress dashboards to optimize treatment plans.
