Case Study: Novartis streamlines eye care and telehealth with CitrusBits' mobile app

Novartis launches telehealth app in 3 months with CitrusBits

CitrusBits partnered with Novartis subsidiary Kedalion Therapeutics, a medtech startup that developed a mechanical eyedropper for accurate eye drug administration. The challenge was to create a connected mobile app to pair with the hardware, which would track dosage, send reminders, and allow clinicians to support patients, thereby strengthening treatment adherence and improving outcomes.

CitrusBits designed and developed the telehealth app, working directly with the hardware to master its API for Bluetooth communication. The solution was built and deployed within a rapid three-month timeframe. The result was a streamlined and intuitive app experience that was loved by the Kedalion team, who are now working to bring the transformative product to market.
