Ground breaking scalable smart app (Microsoft Azure)

Athlete passport / mobile app

Value Highlights

Panamoure was approached to build the proposed Athlete Passport Application to monitor and manage an athlete’s wellbeing, strength, conditioning and nutrition. The application is the first phase in an expected roadmap which will create various solutions including audience specific apps and the overall athlete management by respective international governing bodies.

What Were the Challenges?

To conceptualise the overall architecture, the Athlete Passport app was just one part of a larger puzzle
To convert the concept into reality; it was critical to build a smart, feature rich app that ensured all data was captured correctly in a streamlined manner, with minimal manual intervention
To ensure data was interpreted correctly for experts to monitor, analyse and suggest preventive actions
Incorporate appropriate technology infrastructure to enable integration with various third-party specialised products
Demanding timelines to deliver the solution

So, What Did we Do?

The Panamoure technology team designed a comprehensive solution that covered the infrastructure required from the app through to centralised management systems
The new mobile app was built to act as the ‘Athlete Passport’ – encompassing the professional journey of athletes, capturing all medical data required by their professional clubs and governing bodies
Our solution delivered the following critical features:
- Smart Connectivity (Apple Watch / iOS Health)
- Wellbeing Tracker
- Easy to use UI/UX
- Cognitive services
- Open for integration with third-party systems
- Data security
The solution was designed using the following technology stack:
- Front-end: Hybrid frameworks such as Ionic, using a single code base to target mobile and web applications
- Back-end (API): Node JS
- Database: Azure MySQL
- Cognitive Services: Azure Cognitive Services
- Security: Azure Key Vault and Azure API Gateway policies (such as API limit, DDoS prevention, Firewall) to provide security to the portal data over REST APIs
- DevOps: Azure CI/CD Pipelines with bit bucket for easier and secured deployment to test/live environments
The Athlete Passport app enables data capture through direct as well as indirect sources (Apple watch)
Data-driven sentimental analysis provides insight into athlete wellbeing and mental state
The app enables injury management, captures physiotherapy sessions and tracks strength and conditioning exercises as well as guiding athletes on their wellbeing and day-to-day routines, driving on-demand help required from specialists
Granularity of data captured will help to create and train AI/ML models for future predictive analysis and drive a proactive plan for physical/mental health events
Integration with third-party system (patient data) ensures the right data set is secured in the medical repository for correct and authorised usage
