How Infycure Built a Temperature Monitoring App to Keep Healthcare Supply Chains Safe
Many medicines, especially biologics and biotech drugs, must stay within a set temperature range from the moment they leave the lab until they reach the patient. A Temperature Monitoring App helps teams track shipments and respond quickly when conditions change.
MaxQ Research builds solutions that help life sciences companies keep these drugs at the required temperature. Its existing iOS and Android apps needed an upgrade to support new hardware, while maintaining the live monitoring, tracking, and alerts that users already relied on.
In this case study, we look at how Infycure upgraded the Temperature Monitoring App, the challenges involved, and the results of the project.
Challenges in Upgrading the Temperature Monitoring App
The upgrade came with four main challenges:
Outdated mobile apps: The existing iOS and Android apps needed an upgrade.
New hardware: The apps had to work with upcoming hardware improvements.
Old libraries: Older, outdated software parts (called deprecated libraries) needed to be removed.
Both platforms: The upgraded apps had to work on iPhone and Android.
The real task was to make the temperature monitoring app ready for the new hardware while keeping everything users depend on working smoothly.
How Infycure Upgraded the Temperature Monitoring App
1. Hardware Analysis and Setup
Infycure first reviewed the hardware requirements and configured the setup needed for the application updates.
This allowed the Temperature Monitoring App to be prepared for the upcoming hardware changes without affecting its existing purpose.
2. iOS and Android Application Updates
The existing applications were updated for both iOS and Android.
The updates allowed the Temperature Monitoring App to support the new hardware while continuing to provide the existing monitoring and tracking capabilities.
3. Application Modernization
The application also contained older libraries that were no longer required.
Infycure removed the deprecated libraries and updated the application foundation. This gave the Temperature Monitoring App a more current technical setup without rebuilding the entire product.
4. Existing Features Maintained
The upgrade needed to preserve the functions users were already working with.
Temperature monitoring, shipment tracking, and notifications remained part of the Temperature Monitoring App after the updates.
What the Project Delivered
The upgraded Temperature Monitoring App was prepared for the new hardware while maintaining its existing monitoring capabilities.
The project delivered:
Updated iOS and Android applications
Support for new hardware
Removal of deprecated libraries
Modernized application infrastructure
Continued temperature monitoring
Existing tracking and notification capabilities
For a life sciences application, the upgrade meant the Temperature Monitoring App could move forward with the hardware changes without losing the core functions already in use.
