Resolute Software helped a wide audience of policymakers, researchers, practitioners and global citizens get access to timely critical health information in 30 regions and in 6 languages via a mobile app with global input. We combined 3 outdated apps into one with unified user experience, modern, performant and intuitive design in only 10 weeks. The application’s success was enormous as its launch was perfectly timed – just at the start of the pandemic. This resulted in 500,000 downloads and a rating of 4.2+ within the first weeks.

Challenge

The public is hungry for timely health-related information, particularly in the age of Covid-19. One global organization that specializes in distributing such information was looking to extend its reach by making it easier to access health-related digital content through a modernized mobile app. While the company’s website serves a global audience and information is available in 6 languages, the site was not optimized for mobile devices, which was a problem. The organization set out to create a modern mobile app, combining 3 separate apps which were outdated, to make it easy and convenient for people to access essential global health information, in their preferred language.

Solution

Resolute Software set to work building the new mobile application from scratch. Built on NativeScript the app leverages the Progress Sitefinity Content Management System (CMS) for content and ongoing updates. As the NativeScript framework is not as mature as others and has several limitations, Resolute’s developers had to overcome numerous technical challenges. However, after a rapid development cycle, Resolute completed the first version in just 10 weeks.

Results

Resolute’s team is happy to have had the chance to create an app with a global impact. Тhe biggest value of the app is the ability to deliver up-to-date, regional health information in a high-performing, accessible format via users’ mobile devices.
