Challenge
Working on the HairMax mobile application, UppLabs had a goal to automate and simplify the work of trichologists and ease the process of clients’ scalp analysis. With this app, doctors can save lots of time as there is no more need in manual adding dermatoscope pictures and analyzing them. Now it is done automatically. Moreover, based on the client’s scalp pictures, data, and progress, the app defines the type of hair loss and shows the doctor possible prescriptions variants.
Solution
UppLabs created a mobile application HairMax from scratch. We provided its integration with medical dermatoscope and automatic user’s data save on personal devices without storing them to an external server. Also, we provided an automatic mobile PDF generation with prescriptions. Using this PDF with the QR code, the user can buy HairMax goods chosen by the doctor. This is possible because of integration with the Shopify e-commerce platform. All this functionality was developed to bring digitalization and improve operational strategy for medical institutions working in dermatology, paramedical science of the hair, hair loss, and associated scalp problems. We Were Responsible For Software development UppLabs team provided full-cycle mobile application development. From software architecture to engineering and launch, our developers crafted a unique digital product for medical institutions. HairMax Android app lets doctors automatically upload data, analyze it, store, and predict prescriptions. Medical device integration Whilst an official dermatoscope integration application didn’t support needed functionality, using the best practices, UppLabs built our own integration app from scratch. To meet doctors’ needs we created several new features to improve the data received from dermatoscope. Data analysis and storage Based on data received from the dermatoscope, the app is able to identify the type of hair loss and show advice. All the data about the client’s scalp is stored on the doctor’s device and used to monitor the client’s progress. Using the previous visits data, HairMax mobile app can set the schedule for the next procedures and remind clients about them. Key Features User login via email Admin dashboard for managing doctors: inviting via email, editing, removing doctors from database Doctor dashboard for managing clients: registration, editing, removing clients from the local database, viewing client’s visits history Doctor registration flow Clients registration flow Mobile device camera functionality support Dermatoscope integration and photo data receiving support Automatic recommendation Mobile PDF generation: Creating client visit summary PDF Challenges Medical device integration The manufacturer did not provide any documentation on how to integrate with their devices and offered only their application to use that unfortunately was not enough to meet the business needs of our client. Mobile PDF creation UppLabs provided automatic generating of a PDF document layout on the mobile devices, saving this PDF to the proper directory, and creating QR code for buying prescribed products online. Data storing Instead of collecting users’ data on an external server, we implemented an alternative solution for storing all the data about clients on mobile devices. Unfortunately, we had to eject Expo and go with React Native in order to integrate the application with a custom-built package of the medical device integration. Timeline 2,5 months for product development, testing, and launch Team 2 developers (React Native, Kotlin) 1 Team Lead / Project Manager
Results
By developing the HairMax mobile app, UppLabs helped to streamline the client’s operational processes and save medical workers time. It has helped to increase the sales revenues of their existing e-commerce product because of the easy way to order the medicine in the application in a couple of clicks.
