Pick the brains of our lead developers and software architects to outline the high-level scope of your wearable app idea, its architecture, and the necessary integrations. We also help you define the compliance requirements and map out the steps you need to take to make sure your app is compliant.
Wearable app modernization
Give your app a makeover by updating and transforming it to leverage the latest technologies, incorporate new security measures, and integrate with various medical devices. Our company also helps develop new features for your application, optimize cloud resource consumption, and fix issues based on user feedback.
Our wearable health technology covers a variety of use cases
Proactive health management
Through ongoing monitoring and data transmission from wearable activity trackers, smart rings, perspiration sensors, and other devices, our wearable applications allow individuals to track their health metrics in real-time, offering new levels of control over well-being. By getting regular reports on their health, individuals can make informed decisions about their lifestyle choices and take proactive steps to improve their well-being.
Chronic disease management
We integrate mobile or web apps with personal health monitoring devices, including glucose monitors, ECG monitors, blood pressure monitors, and other wearables, to facilitate chronic condition monitoring and provide patients with a real-time snapshot of their health. The app can share the data with practitioners and patient care teams, notifying them about new or worsening symptoms.
Remote patient monitoring
Our wearable tech facilitates proactive tracking and monitoring of higher-risk patients by continuously gathering data from wearable patient monitoring devices. Based on health data analysis, doctors can track the treatment efficiency and optimize it if necessary. Our developers can also integrate data from wearables into medical records to automate reporting for remote monitoring.
Early disease detection
Paired with AI and data analytics, wearable technology can notice signs of on-set diseases and even predict them. The solution picks changes in patient vitals such as temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and more, and sends a report about the processing activity to the doctor’s app. By analyzing the data collected from these wearables, healthcare professionals can intervene early and recommend preventive measures.

Battery life optimization
Our development team builds lightweight apps that use device battery power efficiently. When building wearable apps, our developers use efficient coding practices, make the most of device-specific power-saving features, and minimize background processes. We also use analytics tools to track battery usage from release to release to identify any regressions.
Connectivity
Always-on connectivity remains the biggest challenge for wearable tech. To solve this challenge, our developers implement standardized communication protocols and reliable APIs in your application. We also use the batching mechanism to save bandwidth and use different update intervals depending on the data liveness requirements.
Usability and user experience
Our UX/UI team designs apps considering the unique requirements of wearable devices and limited screen real estate in particular. We design interfaces that provide optimal usability and readability, ensuring all content is concise and clear. Our team also implements voice commands and gesture-based controls for a seamless user experience.
Data security and privacy
We adopt strong privacy and security practices for patient-generated health data (PGHD) capture, use, and sharing. Our development team minimizes data collection and applies data anonymization policies, implements strong authentication and encryption mechanisms, and provides app users with granular controls over their data.
Wearable app development process at Orangesoft
Our team delivers on the promises, respecting the budget and going the extra mile to help you achieve your business goals.
Product discovery
Our collaboration starts off with defining the high-level scope of of your app idea and identifying the target devices. We also conduct market research, identify the target audience, and see how your app idea stacks up against the competition. At this stage, our team also defines the compliance requirements for your app, performs a risk assessment, and creates a risk mitigation plan.
Development planning
Once we establish an understanding of your project scope and its must-have features, our team develops a secure and scalable software architecture, selects a tech stack for back-end development and connectivity, and determines success metrics that align with your business goals. Based on the results of the discovery stage, our project managers prepare a project plan, including time and cost estimates.
MVP design and development
Our developers gradually build the software based on the design layouts and develop the APIs for wearable device integration. We build your product in small iterations, refining its functionality with each cycle and covering every deliverable with comprehensive tests. We also implement necessary security and compliance features, including strict role-based access control, end-to-end data encryption, and more.
Post-launch support
Once your wearable app is out, we keep an eye on its performance, analyze key product metrics, gather end-user feedback, and iteratively refine it to achieve product-market fit. Following the feedback, our team delivers regular, high-value updates.
Scaling
When your app is ready for growth, our development team fine-tunes its server architecture, databases, and code. We do this to ensure that performance, reliability, and user experience are not impacted if demand spikes.
