Software platform as a certified medical device
The Calpro project is a digital health solution that empowers patients with Crohn’s disease to monitor their condition remotely. The apps leverage image processing algorithms, to accurately analyze home test results for inflammation levels, providing real-time data.
Project
Overview
Project Description
The Calpro project is a digital solution designed to monitor patients suffering from Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel condition. The app is intended to help patients track their health status outside of the hospital by using at-home tests that are similar in appearance to pregnancy tests. These tests measure inflammatory markers from a stool sample to indicate the intensity of inflammation, with results ranging from mild to severe (on a scale of 1 to 3).
Patients use the app to take a photo of their test results, which are then analyzed by an algorithm certified for medical use. This algorithm processes the image and provides the patient with a clear, validated result on their current inflammation level. The data is automatically sent to the hospital, allowing healthcare providers to monitor the patient’s condition and adjust treatment plans, such as scheduling earlier visits if necessary.
About The Problem
The Calpro project addresses several key challenges faced by patients with Crohn's disease:
Self-Service Diagnosis:
Calpro empowers patients by allowing them to monitor their condition independently. Instead of relying solely on hospital visits, users can perform tests at home to assess inflammation levels. The ability to self-diagnose provides them with control over their health and peace of mind between medical appointments.
Improved Patient Experience:
Access to specialists treating Crohn's disease can often be limited, and hospital visits need to be carefully managed. Calpro helps improve patient experience by giving doctors real-time insight into a patient's condition based on test results. This allows healthcare providers to optimize hospital visits, ensuring that appointments are scheduled based on actual medical need, thus minimizing unnecessary hospital trips while ensuring timely intervention when required.

Project Timeline
Project Handover
The handover phase began with a review and analysis of the existing codebase, conducted in collaboration with the previous development team. This process involved extensive testing, quality assurance checks, and the identification of any areas that required improvements. Based on these evaluations, recommendations were made to enhance the performance and functionality.
Processes Optimization
In this phase, we optimized requirements management and project workflow by structuring processes in Jira and Confluence, where documentation and tasks are linked to tickets. A custom workflow was implemented, providing the client full visibility into task progression—from requirement definition to estimation, approval, implementation, testing, and release.
Project Maintenance
In the project maintenance phase of Calpro, we are focused on enhancing the application by releasing new features and improving existing ones. We are working on significant optimizations that will further improve performance and user experience, and we look forward to showcasing these updates in the near future.
