Description

The medical research council at the University of Cambridge wanted to prototype an app and a study group analysis to understand qualitative and quantitative effects of rare medical disease. We developed an end to end solution including web back office, anonymization engine, participant registration process, data analysis platform and an Apple iOS app, based on underlying functions of apple heath kit. The function of the app was for the patients to record and share their daily health, well-being and fitness data in a non-personally identifiable method.
