Problem Definition

Invoy collaborated with GoatBytes.IO, a software development company based in Orange County, to develop an affordable breath analyzer device and mobile application that measures exhaled acetone levels to determine if the body is burning fat for energy. However, Invoy faced a challenge in upgrading their mobile applications to support their latest Invoy 5.0 breath device, as they lacked the mobile development expertise. The app required a significant refactor to support best practices, add reliable architecture, and necessary updates for their new firmware.

Solution

GoatBytes.IO team worked collaboratively with Invoy's executive and development teams to support the new Invoy 5.0 breath device, using agile development methodologies to ensure timely and cost-effective completion of the project. To ensure compliance with ethical and regulatory requirements, the team documented the development process and conducted regular reviews and retrospectives. They also utilized JIRA and kanban boards to track progress and evaluate the effectiveness of their process. The team utilized Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to connect the device with the mobile application, and Nordic Semiconductor Android Bluetooth LE was used to implement the BLE interface. Kotlin and Swift were used to develop the mobile applications, which was refactored to utilize the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture pattern to improve maintainability and testability.

Results

The partnership between Invoy and GoatBytes.IO resulted in the creation of a cutting-edge breath analysis device and mobile application. The Invoy breath analyzer device is capable of accurately measuring exhaled acetone levels to determine whether the body is burning fat or food for energy. The Invoy mobile applications provide users with personalized coaching and tailored nutrition solutions to help users achieve their health goals efficiently.

Benefits

The collaboration between Invoy and GoatBytes.IO resulted in the development of a revolutionary breath analyzer device and mobile application that provides data-driven coaching and personalized nutrition solutions. The end product was positively reviewed by users and was featured in various publications. The success of the project was attributed to effective collaboration, modern technologies, and sound design principles.

In addition, the success of the product and the collaboration with GoatBytes.IO helped Invoy secure $5,120,000 in Series A funding from Khosla Ventures and Touchdown Ventures. This funding allowed Invoy to continue to grow and expand their business, while also developing new products and services to help even more people achieve their health and wellness goals.

Conclusion

Invoy's partnership with GoatBytes.IO was critical to the successful development of their revolutionary breath analyzer device and mobile application. The collaboration between the two companies enabled Invoy to deliver a high-quality product that meets all ethical and regulatory requirements. The success of this project demonstrates the importance of collaboration and the value of working with experienced software development partners to achieve business objectives.
