RTSport — AT Experience Architecture

2026-05-08 | Design Decision

Two-Mode Split

Sideline Mode (mobile phone, game-time)

• Context: AT is on the field. Rain, gloves, one hand, looking up between plays.
• Entry point: Floating action button or quick-select athlete grid
• Flow: Tap athlete → 3-tap entry (body part → mechanism → severity) → done
• Zero typing. All tappable presets. Big touch targets (48px+). Works with wet fingers.
• Output: Creates Case + initial Event + updates athlete status → coach/parent dashboards instantly

Clinic Mode (tablet/laptop, office hours)

• Context: AT is at their desk or in the training room. Can type.
• Entry point: Full AT dashboard — roster, case management, athlete search
• Capabilities:
• Free-text treatment notes (not SOAP, but structured enough to be useful)
• Milestone management — adjust target dates, mark complete, add new phases
• Timeline adjustments — add events, update restrictions, document progress
• Athlete history — prior cases, case reopening, injury trends
• Desktop-first but responsive for iPad use in the training room
• Output: Detailed case documentation, athlete progress tracking, compliance-ready audit trail

What NOT to Build

• ❌ Full SOAP note editor (that's SWOL's job)
• ❌ ICD-10 code picker (keep it simple: "ankle sprain" not "S93.401A")
• ❌ Insurance/billing integration
• ❌ Concussion protocol wizard (v2 feature — ATGenius owns this niche)
