Multifunctional web and mobile apps for smart & healthy choices

The existing platform (built several years before NeuroSYS got involved) required UI and design refreshment. The platform was initially built on ASP.NET WebForms, so implementation of the new functionalities (users communication, schedules, events and articles for health clubs, etc.) would be time-consuming and inconvenient. Moreover, the required UI refreshment couldn’t be implemented on the old platform.

Our team replaced previous solution with a new web platform for supporting the operation of health clubs, personal trainers, and their clients, as well as iOS and Android mobile apps for the same purpose. New apps are easily configurable, flexible and meet all the client’s needs.

PureLifeStyle offers online and mobile exercise, food and goal setting service for health clubs, personal trainers and individual users. Its ultimate health and fitness apps are designed to enable people to make smart choices, with guidance and support from their fitness professional.

After a thorough analysis and consulting with the client, we decided to build a new web platform by using a new technology stack based on two main architectural patterns – MVC and MVVM. ASP.NET MVC4 framework was recommended for the back end, and Knockout.js – for the front end. In 2014, when the project was realized, ASP.NET MVC4 was an optimal choice, because it allows easier integration with JavaScript frameworks (one of which we decided to use for creating a new modern UI) and eases designers’ job. Besides, it’s better suited for unit testing, which makes it easier to validate if separate implementations meet business objectives. That suited the client’s business needs well: every feature could be launched as soon as it got verified by the client. Also, such elasticity allowed the client to add new features in the future easily.
