Overview

A Flutter app focused heavily on hardware integration and control

project

Hardware Integration

Various features of the physical pumps can be controlled via Bluetooth. This posed many interesting challenges that our team was able to overcome in the Flutter app. The ability to control the speed and the power of the pumps were important factors in making the app worth using. A lot of my work on the project involved learning Bluetooth protocols and writing native iOS/Android code that hooked into our Flutter app.

App Integration

The user is able to gentle increase or decrease the suction power of the pumps. The app also tracks the user sessions for review at a later time. Various educational information is also included in the app to make the transition from a disconnected pump to a connected pump more manageable. Each pump can be controlled individually for a more customized experience.
