How ILD Care improves the quality of life for patients with a rare lung disease.
The ILD Care Foundation promotes the treatment and prevention of interstitial lung diseases (ILD). The organization is committed to educating the public about the effects of this relatively unknown and poorly understood disease, and to promoting the best possible quality of life for patients and their families that have been impacted by it.
SYSQA and Mansystems contributed their expertise to develop a continuous measurement application that provides insights for both doctor and patient into how the disease progresses. The application integrates with a connected watch to collect and monitor data of physical activity and calorie consumption. This allows the patient and doctor to monitor the disease jointly as it progresses. SYSQA and Mansystems developed the application together over two months using only two developers working over the course of three sprints.
Many of our patients are relatively young. They would greatly benefit from an exercise program. Problem is, most these programs don’t succeed. Often, they are people with a busy job and children. Therefore, the ILD care foundation has partnered with SYSQA and Mansystems and developed an app: a smart program to encourage people to exercise more.
