  • Timeline: 2 week sprint
  • Team: 5-person development team
  • Features: Our team was asked to develop an app for a coach so his team parents could easily provide and update their emergency contact information and the athlete’s acute medical information, like allergies, and populate a printable card. Our team created both a user and admin interfaces, with the ability to print a small card for each team member along with a QR code that would take a first responder to a secure page with the relevant medical information.
