ABOUT LASARRUS

LASARRUS Clinic and Research Center is a Baltimore-based medical device and digital health company developing WearME, a wearable and mobile platform designed to improve monitoring and care for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

- Connect patient dashboards, charts, status indicators, and application workflows to Firebase/Firestore and approved REST/JSON services.

- Support BLE and sensor-connection experiences, including connection status, user notifications, error handling, and recovery behavior.

- Test and debug Android and iOS behavior across device types; reproduce issues and provide clear test evidence for fixes.

- Work in Git feature branches, open pull requests, respond to code-review feedback, and help maintain clean integration practices.

- Create concise technical documentation, test notes, release notes, and implementation records that support LASARRUS quality and medical-device development processes.

- Participate in Monday reviews, communicate progress and blockers early, and complete approved deliverables with appropriate guidance.
