Project Summary

Sombra developed a hybrid PhoneGap/Ionic mobile app (eSense) for a medical engineering company to interface with biometric sensors measuring skin conductance and temperature. The app is compatible with Android and iOS; the client reports about 1,000–1,500 downloads and roughly 1,000 sensors sold per year, and praises Sombra for strong developers, detailed reports, and responsive support.

Key Challenges

Develop a hybrid app for eSense devices to simplify development
Need expertise in PhoneGap and Ionic
Consolidate or complement existing native iOS and Android apps

Project Deliverables

Hybrid mobile app compatible with Android and iOS
Integration with biometric sensors (skin conductance and temperature) via microphone input
Real-time data capture and user feedback
Project reports and ongoing management support

Project Solution

Sombra developed the eSense hybrid app to work with a hardware device that uses two sensors to measure skin conductance and temperature and connects to smartphones via the microphone input. They implemented real-time measurement and feedback and iteratively refined the app using PhoneGap/Cordova and Ionic technologies. The vendor delivered the hybrid app and provided management and reporting support throughout the engagement.

Project Outcome

Approximately 1,000–1,500 app downloads and around 1,000 sensors sold per year
Delivered a functioning hybrid app that interfaces with hardware sensors and provides real-time feedback
Improved project management and communication (daily reports, Trello); high client satisfaction
