Technologies / Takeaways

I began working with this startup company on day-zero, as part of the team developing the company’s digital properties from the ground-up.  The iOS app connects to an in-house created RESTful API.  By detecting your location, then reverse-geocoding into an actual street address, the app allows a user to input their symptoms, and request a dispatch of medical professionals to their location.  Certain safeguards needed to be met for HIPAA compliance, as well as geofencing the user’s location to certain zip codes.
