The main challenge was building an app with a seamless user experience and secure messaging between users and coaches in under 5 weeks for pilot testing, requiring careful planning to integrate all features.
It was important for us to focus on an intuitive design for user-friendliness for parents, while implementing robust security measures for sensitive information.
We integrated the app with workflow tools to boost productivity and connectivity. Using Firebase for authentication, we set up secure messaging through WhatsApp for users and Slack for customers. This allowed us to quickly develop an MVP mobile web app, helping parents track children’s routines with eating disorders, ready for pilot testing in five weeks.
