National Epidemic Control & Border-Entry Platform.

Native mobile apps and a government-grade backend for containing an infectious-disease outbreak at national scale — built and shipped under emergency time pressure.

The brief

A country had to account for every inbound traveller: health documentation collected and checked before departure rather than in the queue at the border, monitored stays tracked after arrival, and the whole flow standing up at national scale. Requirements moved week to week as protocols changed, against a go-live date that could not.

What we built

We delivered a national platform: native applications on both public app stores and a government-grade backend behind them. Travellers uploaded health documents (PDF, JPEG, PNG) ahead of arrival for preliminary validation, so screening happened before the border rather than at it; those under monitoring reported daily, against a verified address, inside a geofenced movement restriction, with an optional paired wristband confirming the device was still present. Programme operators ran all of it from one dashboard.

Key features
Native iOS and Android applications
Secure document upload and validation (PDF / JPEG / PNG)
Pre-arrival health documentation workflow with preliminary validation to speed border flow
Daily self-reporting for travellers under monitoring
Address verification for monitored stays
Geofenced movement-restriction mapping
Wearable wristband pairing and monitoring via QR code
Administrative dashboard for programme operators
Stack & engineering
Native applications for iOS and Android, shipped through both public app-store review processes
Government-grade backend: document intake, validation workflow, operator dashboard and audit trail
Secure document handling — PDF, JPEG and PNG accepted, checked before a traveller boarded
Location services — geofenced movement restrictions held against a verified address
Device integration — wristband pairing initiated by QR scan, with presence monitoring
Inside the platform

Screens from the application a traveller actually used: the code that connected them to their record, the published outbreak figures, daily symptom reporting, the validated address for a monitored stay, the movement restriction drawn on a map, and the paired wristband that told operators the device was still online.
