Clinical Check-In iPad App

Native SwiftUI iPad application for clinical patient check-in at a neurology practice. Patients enter a short-lived session code issued by clinic staff, complete assigned questionnaires, and walk through a structured neuromodulation assessment โ€” all without requiring a personal account. Built with pure SwiftUI and Swift concurrency, zero third-party dependencies.

  • โ–ธDesigned multi-step assessment flow covering seizure classification, quality-of-life survey, neurostimulator device settings (VNS/DBS/RNS), and medication logging
  • โ–ธBuilt dynamic device settings screens with matrix, paired, and field layouts driven entirely by server-side config โ€” no client-side changes needed to add new device types
  • โ–ธImplemented session-code authentication with automatic navigation reset between patients to prevent unauthorized back-navigation
