Empowering Patients with a Holter ECG Diary Mobile App
Triophore developed a mobile app for LifeSignals, revolutionizing Holter ECG monitoring with a patient-centric digital diary.
The Challenge
Business Problem
LifeSignals Inc. sought to improve the Holter ECG monitoring process by replacing traditional paper diaries with a user-friendly mobile application. The existing reliance on paper diaries led to inaccurate symptom logging, difficulties in correlating patient activities with ECG data, and cumbersome data management.
The Goal
The main objective was to develop an intuitive mobile app that enhances patient engagement, accurately captures symptom data, and seamlessly integrates with Holter ECG devices to improve diagnostic insights.

The Solution
Discovery & Architecture
Triophore began with a comprehensive discovery phase, focusing on understanding LifeSignals' requirements and the needs of Holter ECG patients. The architecture involved a secure and efficient mobile application built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. gRPC was chosen for backend communication ensuring fast and reliable data transfer. MQTT was implemented for handling communication between the Holter device and the mobile app, especially in low bandwidth conditions. UI/UX design prioritized simplicity and ease of use for a non-technical user base. The core application architecture supports secure data synchronization, user authentication, and data privacy compliance.
Development Phase
Triophore developed a bespoke Android application featuring an intuitive patient interface for interacting with the Holter ECG device. The app allows patients to log symptoms, track activities, and provide time-stamped entries, all synchronized with ECG data. Continuous integration and testing were implemented to ensure quality and reliability. The development process followed Agile methodologies, with regular client feedback and iterative improvements.
Key Feature Implementation
Intuitive patient interface, comprehensive patient diary with symptom logging and activity tracking, automatic time-stamping, secure data synchronization, and ongoing support and maintenance.
The Results
Performance
The mobile application demonstrated excellent performance with efficient data synchronization and minimal battery drain. gRPC and MQTT protocols facilitated robust and responsive communication across various network conditions.
Scalability
The architecture was designed to handle a growing user base and increasing data volume. The backend infrastructure supports seamless scalability to accommodate future needs.
User Impact
Patients experienced a significant improvement in the ease and accuracy of logging symptoms and activities. The intuitive interface resulted in higher engagement and more complete data collection, leading to better diagnostic insights.
Business Efficiency
LifeSignals Inc. benefited from streamlined data collection, improved diagnostic accuracy, and enhanced patient satisfaction. The mobile application provided a competitive advantage and positioned LifeSignals as an innovator in cardiac monitoring.
