Overview

The Project

Vitals Health Tech aimed to disrupt the telehealth market with a high-performance app connecting patients to specialists via sub-second video latency and real-time biometric tracking.

The Challenge

What We Were Up Against

The app required 100% native performance on both iOS and Android to handle high-definition video and secure biometric data. We needed to maintain a single source of truth for clinical data while ensuring HIPAA compliance and 'Five Nines' server availability.

Our Solution

How We Solved It

We built a dual-native ecosystem using Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android), supported by a NestJS microservices backend on GCP. We also developed a Flutter version for secondary staff tools. The architecture features encrypted WebRTC video, biometric syncing via Apple HealthKit and Google Fit, and zero-trust authentication via Auth0.

Our Approach

How We Delivered

01

Native Architecture

Designed platform-specific UI in Figma and developed native cores to maximize hardware performance and biometric sensor access.

02

Microservices Backend

Engineered a scalable NestJS API on Google Cloud (GCP), utilizing serverless functions for image processing and high-speed data ingestion.

03

Security Hardening

Implemented Zero-Trust security layers, end-to-end encryption for video, and rigorous Auth0 identity management for medical professionals.

04

Store Launch

Managed the complex medical compliance review for App Store and Google Play, ensuring a 100% first-pass approval rating.

SKN IT delivered a world-class mobile experience. Our patients love the speed and simplicity, and our doctors rely on the biometric accuracy. They are our true technical partners.
