Gamified spirometry app and custom hardware that turned respiratory therapy into a virtual bank heist

Breathtaker was an app developed for HMS to make spirometry testing engaging for patients by developing a custom android launcher styled as a virtual town where patients could "steal" coins from a bank through deep breaths into a custom sensor attached to their phone's headphone jack and spend those coins at the arcade to play installed games.

I led the creative direction, physical design, and assembly. I also developed the core game loop and wrote the a custom Lottie animation manager.
