Goals

RA patient-focused mobile application

The project involves creating a patient-centric platform, equipped with advanced features to help users efficiently manage their symptoms, medications, and overall well-being. By requiring robust tracking tools, reliable medical resources, and a supportive community, the client wanted to improve how RA patients navigate their health journey through the mobile app.

Increase sales & brand reputation

The mobile application would also ideally help the client boost their sales and brand recognition. By crafting a user experience that not only provides support to Rheumatoid Arthritis patients but also delivers user-friendly features that encourage engagement, the client wanted to increase app adoption and usage, positioning their brand as a trusted and empathetic ally in patients’ RA journey. This approach seeks to make the app patients’ go-to resource, thus bolstering both sales figures and the client’s reputation in the healthcare technology landscape.

Solution

Symptom Management App for Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Rikkeisoft’s team developed the RA symptom management mobile application according to the client’s requirements, with several outstanding features:

- Step count and sleep duration tracker: The app can automatically record users’ step counts and sleep durations, thanks to integrations with other apps and devices such as Fitbit and Google Fit.

- Symptom tracker: Users can record their symptoms directly through typing and/or using the app’s built-in speech-to-text conversion tool. These symptoms are shown under graph and calendar formats for easier tracking. Users are encouraged to note their symptoms daily through engaging notifications and animations. These symptoms are also shared with the user’s trusted family members and healthcare providers in case of emergencies.
