Business Situation and Requirements

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death worldwide. Patients experiencing strokes, particularly those with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), face a high risk of mortality without rapid medical intervention. Clinical guidelines recommend a door-to-balloon (D2B) time of 90 minutes or less, yet delays often occur due to communication gaps between paramedics and doctors during the critical door-to-needle period, slowing life-saving treatment.

To address this challenge, the client wanted a mobile solution that could connect all healthcare workers involved in STEMI care. The goal was to improve coordination, streamline communication, and speed up critical decision-making so patients receive timely and effective treatment during emergencies.

Their key requirements included:

  • Build a mobile platform that tracks ambulance locations and consolidates critical patient data.

  • Include real-time ambulance tracking for hospital preparedness.

  • Ensure HIPAA-compliant patient data security.

  • Enable real-time alerts for critical updates.

  • Design intuitive interfaces for emergency use.

  • Support fast data entry and retrieval for clinicians.
