A mobile app for surgeons to access patient data and interactive 3D knee models—from research to App Store.
Stryker Corporation is a leading medical technology company that strives to improve patient care through innovation. This project was my internship work on the DevOps team: I owned research, development, UI testing, and publishing, and shipped a new addition to Stryker's portfolio.
Context
Osteoarthritis causes excessive bone growth in the knee, leading to pain and discomfort. Stryker's MAKO robot supports surgical treatment, and a website provides a centralized platform for pre-surgical preparation.
Our goal was to make that experience more convenient and accessible. We built a mobile app so surgeons can access and view confidential medical information on the go, with many of the same features as the website—making it easier to manage procedures efficiently.
The product
The app uses Expo AuthSession for web-based authentication with Azure Active Directory. After sign-in, an access token is used to fetch data from the server.
Only accounts granted access to confidential medical information can reach the home screen; others remain on the sign-in screen.
Simplified authentication & data retrieval flow
The home screen gives an overview of all available patient data. Users can:
Tapping a patient name opens the data screen with comprehensive information: surgical procedure and current status.
When insights are available, a button takes the user to the interactive 3D insights screen.
The insights screen shows an interactive 3D model of the patient's knee. Users can rotate and zoom to explore it, and the screen also provides:
Takeaways
The SOLID Insights app is a user-friendly tool that gives healthcare professionals secure access to confidential medical data and interactive 3D models. I owned the project from research through development, UI testing, and publishing.
I gained hands-on experience in React Native, REST APIs, and app authentication, deepened my JavaScript skills, and learned testing with Detox and Appium. I also shipped updates to the Apple App Store. Grateful to my Stryker team for the opportunity and support.
