The Challenge
The licensed end users, ‘Nurse Practitioners / Clinicians’, have a regulatory requirement to fill out certain forms while they visit and provide services to patients at their homes and other facilities. ‘Agency Manager’ is a web application and it requires Internet connectivity for the application to be functional.

This is to aid the ‘Nurse Practitioners / Clinicians’ in capturing the required regulatory patient data when there is no internet connectivity (Offline mode) and later sync the data to the central data repository
- Analyzed, reviewed and finalized the appropriate technology components to develop home healthcare mobile application
- Designed and developed the ‘Physical Therapy (PT) form interface for mobile tablets- iOS and Android, with the following features:
