Telecare & Patient Monitoring Platform
HealthTech

A UK-based telecare provider needed an app for caregivers to monitor the well-being of elderly patients. Beetroot fine-tuned the client’s back end, built a Flutter MVP integrated with its ecosystem, and has since provided ad hoc maintenance.

Background

Our client is a UK-based company providing telecare services and call-handling solutions. It works with retirement housing providers and offers individual careline contracts to elderly patients.

Initially non-technical, the company built its own product ecosystem and back end, but its in-house technical expertise remained limited.

Project Recap

  • The client needed a caregiver app that turns IoT data from patients’ homes into alerts, health status, and visualizations.

  • Two Beetroot developers fine-tuned the back end, built a Flutter app MVP, and integrated it with the existing ecosystem.

  • A working MVP, followed by ad hoc maintenance and plans to renew the cooperation.

Challenge

The client had built a back end that collects and stores data from IoT devices installed in homes and housing facilities. It now needed a mobile app that lets caregivers track patients’ health and respond quickly, through an SOS button or automatic emergency calls.

The client faced several challenges:

  • Limited in-house technical expertise
  • Integrating a new app with an existing product ecosystem
  • Adapting the plan to real user needs during development

Solution: Flutter MVP Integrated with a .NET Back End

Beetroot implemented the project with Flutter for the mobile app and .NET for the back end, integrating the system with the client’s existing ecosystem through webhooks for two-way communication.

  • Flutter Mobile App

    Flutter delivers a polished UI and smooth UX with few external dependencies, and it can extend to web and desktop later.

  • .NET and Azure Back End

    .NET fits the client’s ecosystem and works well with Azure services, while PostgreSQL supports the relational data model.

  • Seamless Integration

    Webhooks connect the app with the client’s IoT data back end for real-time, two-way communication.

Working on the Telecare & Patient Monitoring Platform, we faced the challenge of changing our plan based on what users told us they needed. Our team quickly adapted, ensuring we could provide the best care for elderly patients. This project was more than just a job; it was about making a real difference in people’s lives.
