The company and product
Convatec is a global medical technology company focused on providing life-changing products and technologies for people with chronic conditions.
The company develops innovative medical solutions and technologies that help improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with chronic conditions worldwide. As part of their commitment to advancing healthcare through data-driven insights, Convatec sought to explore the correlation between Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and catheter usage patterns.
This research initiative required a sophisticated digital solution capable of collecting precise diagnostic data from patients in real-world settings, moving beyond traditional clinical monitoring approaches.
Key challenges
1.
Technology research and feasibility analysis to identify the most effective HRV collection methods.
2.
Design and development of Apple Watch application with integrated heart rate monitoring capabilities.
3.
Creation of companion iOS application with advanced data analytics and audio collection features.

The Process
Our approach focused on delivering both technical precision and user-centered design to enable successful clinical data collection.
After conducting extensive research on available heart monitoring technologies, we designed and developed an integrated ecosystem consisting of an Apple Watch application and a companion iOS mobile app. The solution was architected to boost user engagement while ensuring the data collection process remained simple to set up and maintain.
The Apple Watch application served as the primary data collection interface, optimized for continuous HRV monitoring, while the iOS companion app provided comprehensive data management, visualization, and synchronization capabilities.

This is how we made it happen:
Conducting a comprehensive feasibility study to identify optimal technology solutions for precise HRV parameter collection.
Building and developing a patient companion app for Apple Watch with seamless native mobile app integration for iOS.
Ensuring diagnostic-grade accuracy in heart rate variability data collection from both wrist and chest monitoring.
Creating an engaging user experience that would maintain patient compliance throughout clinical trials.
Researching and validating connected heart monitors available on the market to confirm Convatec's specific technical requirements.
Developing audio data collection capabilities for comprehensive analysis integration.
The Outcome
The development process resulted in a complete patient companion app system ready for clinical trials and real-world data collection.
The integrated solution provided Convatec with diagnostic-grade data collection capabilities that exceeded their original technical requirements. The system's flexibility and scalable architecture positioned it as a competitive advantage for future product developments across multiple Convatec product lines.
Clinical trials proceeded with a completely different product approach than initially planned, demonstrating the value of our comprehensive research and validation process.
The success of this project hinged on the following factors:
Comprehensive technology research ensuring optimal HRV data collection accuracy from both wrist and chest monitoring approaches.
User-centered design philosophy that balanced clinical precision requirements with patient engagement and ease of use.
Scalable software architecture enabling future product line integrations and adaptability across Convatec's healthcare innovation portfolio.
