Corewell SystemsMobile Apps
The parts of your operation that happen away from a desk, put in your team's and customers' pockets.
The problem it solves
Some work never sits at a desk: staff on rounds, crews between floors, customers booking from the couch. If your system only lives in a browser at reception, everyone else is working blind. We build mobile apps that extend your operational system to wherever the work actually happens.
What's included
- iOS and Android from one codebase
- Offline-first data sync where the work demands it
- Push notifications tied to real operational events
- App store submission and release management
- The same backend as your web system: one source of truth
Evidence
What we have actually built
Each entry below exists in a system we designed and shipped. Client and product names are withheld by policy. The engineering is not.
Companion apps that share the web system's brain
We have shipped mobile apps that run on the same interface as the web platform, so a record created on a phone in a treatment room is the same record the front desk sees, with no syncing layer to drift out of step.
Purpose-built devices, not just phone apps
Two native tablet applications in production: a lobby check-in station patients use themselves, and a card-reader terminal that turns an ordinary tablet into a payment device, each locked to one job and paired to a specific site.
Capture that survives the real world
Recording in the field fails in specific ways: the screen locks, the microphone disconnects, the signal drops. Our capture keeps the screen awake, detects each of those failures as it happens, uploads in small pieces so nothing is lost, and resumes exactly where it stopped.
Old versions can't break your data
Released apps check in against a minimum supported version, so a phone left un-updated for six months is told to update rather than allowed to write against an interface it no longer understands.
Devices that talk to each other live
A charge started on a desktop appears instantly on the tablet in the patient's hand, and the result lands back on the desktop, with devices coordinated in real time rather than each polling for changes.
Where this shows up
Industries where we have delivered this capability. It applies well beyond them. These are the ones with systems behind them.
Under the hood, for technical buyers
Cross-platform clients over the existing API, native Android where hardware access demands it, real-time coordination over persistent connections, push delivery through Firebase, chunked upload with resume, and server-enforced version gating.
Full technology stack, and why we chose it →Straight answers
Mobile Apps, answered plainly
What buyers ask before committing. Short answers, no hedging.
Do we need a separate system for the mobile app?
No, and that is usually the mistake. Our mobile apps run on the same interface as the web platform, so a record created on a phone is the same record the office sees, with no syncing layer to drift out of step and no rule implemented twice.
What happens when the signal drops mid-task?
The work survives. Capture in the field fails in specific ways: the screen locks, the microphone disconnects, the network drops. We detect each of those as it happens, upload in small pieces so nothing is lost, and resume exactly where it stopped.
Can a tablet replace hardware we would otherwise buy?
Often. We have built two purpose-built tablet applications in production: a lobby check-in station customers use themselves, and a card-reader terminal that turns an ordinary tablet into a payment device, each locked to one job and paired to a specific site.
What stops an out-of-date app from corrupting our data?
Released apps check in against a minimum supported version. A device left un-updated is told to update before it can write against an interface it no longer understands.
