Case Study: Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation streamlines valve assessment with KRUTSCH’s Valve PPM mobile app

Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation launches Valve PPM with Krutsch Associates and pushes updates without new app store releases

The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation approached Krutsch Associates to develop a new mobile application, Valve PPM, which would expand upon an existing tool for echocardiography professionals. The challenge was to create an app with a cohesive visual language for their suite of products and a dynamic backend capable of supporting frequent content updates driven by new medical findings.

Krutsch implemented a solution featuring a tap-based navigation system for use with latex gloves and a low-code backend using Airtable and Google Firestore. This gave the client direct control over data input and allowed for cloud-based content updates without requiring new app store submissions. The result was an innovative, offline-operable mobile tool supported by a cloud-managed relational database, providing global medical professionals with immediate access to the latest valve recommendations.
