Web app

The Lucidity app eccosystem, designed and developed in partnership with Johns Hopkins University Medical School (Kuchibhotla Lab), embodies a leap forward in Alzheimer’s disease research. Utilizing a state-of-the-art interface, the app enables patients to play 'brain games', whilst biomedical devices collect real-time patient biometrics. The data from the biometrics is then compared with the game results, offering invaluable insights into Alzheimer’s that are key in the ongoing pursuit of a cure. Built in Flutter and NodeJS, the application has seen tremendous success, leading to further funding for extended research and development over the upcoming years.
We partnered with Johns Hopkins University Medical School, prompted by a mutual aim of addressing Alzheimer's disease, the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. The researchers at JHU were exploring Alzheimer patients' learning patterns and were keen on creating an application that would aid in data gathering and contribute to their research.
The project involved several intricate tasks. Firstly, the application design had to be user-friendly and intuitive, ensuring that Alzheimer's patients could easily navigate the interface. Furthermore, the system had to be sophisticated enough to gather and compare real-time biometric data with game results. Understanding the needs of the researchers and ensuring the data remained continually relevant was another significant challenge. Maintaining constant communication with the research team throughout the project and testing phase was vital to keep the application in line with the evolving medical research.
The Lucidity app has proven to be a resounding success and its currently being integrated into Kuchibhotla Lab’s research process. It will enable the research team to collect essential data that continues to fuel their Alzheimer's research. Furthermore, the success of the application has led to additional funding from Johns Hopkins University for continued research.
