The company turned to SMX to assist with the implementation, architecture, and management of their TrueTear backend infrastructure on AWS. The mobile app enables users to understand their device usage patterns, and helps them predict their eye condition as the weather changes. The TrueTear application is a microservices-based solution using AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway, which enables rapid scaling to meet expanding demand.
Allergan
Challenge
Allergan’s groundbreaking TrueTear device causes dry eye sufferers to produce their own natural tears using tiny pulses of energy (an effect called neurostimulation), instead of drops or medications. The device connects to a mobile app via Bluetooth Low Energy. As with any medical technology, not only does the system need to be user friendly, it must also meet the most stringent standards of patient privacy and data security.
SMX was tasked with ensuring this game-changing mobile application for dry eye patients delivered a positive—and secure—customer experience.
Solution

With help from SMX, the TrueTear team has pioneered Allergan’s entry to the world of connected devices.
