Overview Link to heading

TritonView is a real-time blood hemorrhage (blood-loss) monitoring app built for Gauss Surgical. Contracted through Fresh, I partnered closely with their designer and served as the sole engineer on the project. I developed the iOS and Apple Watch apps along with a Firebase backend that connected to Gauss’s existing monitoring system. The app listens for real-time hemorrhage data and status updates, delivering timely alerts and live metrics to surgical teams on Apple devices to support fast, informed decisions during procedures. The app was piloted at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA.
