The challenge
A major US gym group partnered with a health insurer and Discovery Vitality to create a fitness offering supported by an Apple Watch application. The solution needed to capture activity and health metrics, integrate them with existing services and enable the insurer to assess members' progress and benefits.
My contribution
I architected the solution by identifying which existing organisational capabilities could be reused and which new services had to be developed. I guided planning, design and delivery across business domains, application tiers and offshore development teams in the Philippines.
Highlights
- Defined the end-to-end architecture for a connected health application.
- Integrated Apple Watch data with existing health and rewards services.
- Coordinated design and delivery across multiple domains and distributed teams.
- Balanced reuse of established services with the introduction of new capabilities.
