Overview
What this challenge is about.
Build a HealthKit cardiac rehab app with SwiftUI, apply exercise rules, and send mock clinician summaries. Earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The company is a venture-backed cardiac-rehab startup translating in-clinic exercise therapy into a take-home digital therapeutic, operating under the regulatory scrutiny that comes with the FDA Class II medical-device pathway.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Ship an iOS HealthKit-integrated cardiac-rehab prototype with on-device prescription logic, a TLS-pinned cloud sync, and a privacy posture that survives a Series B legal review.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Request and justify minimal HealthKit read scopes and reliably reconcile data deltas across relaunches and sync gaps
- Translate a written clinical rule specification into deterministic, testable on-device logic with explicit safety boundaries
- Implement a TLS certificate-pinned network sync conforming to a fixed JSON contract
- Author a privacy posture that withstands medical-device-grade legal review
- Plan and report a small-cohort usability study that surfaces real adherence and friction honestly

Careers
Career paths this challenge builds toward
Completing this challenge demonstrates skills that transfer directly to these roles:
Health iOS Engineer
This challenge mirrors regulated digital-health iOS work end to end: integrating HealthKit sensor data, building on-device clinical logic, and shipping through TestFlight under a medical-device pathway—the exact portfolio a digital therapeutics team screens for.

Mobile Privacy Engineer
Authoring a defensible data-minimization and deletion posture alongside a TLS-pinned sync builds the privacy-by-design and secure-networking judgment that mobile teams handling sensitive health data require before a Series B audit.
