Nurses and doctors require the ability to know your vitals such as heart rate, oxygen saturation level, CO2 level, Blood Pressure, ECG, body temperature, respiratory rate, and more to deliver the care patients require. Often the patient load and care demands can be overwhelming, prioritizing care delivering in real time is complicated and demanding. Hospital and ward staff often work 12 hour shifts that can be extremely demanding given the level of vigilance and care required by critically ill patients.

The Challenge

Define and develop a hardware and software agnostic patient monitoring platform that runs on iOS, Android, Linux, and Windows delivering patient status and critical alarms in real time to appropriate care providers seamlessly and securely.

The Process

Hours of interviews, hundreds or documents, mockups, presentations, prototypes, acceptance criteria and tests to confirm delivery.

The Outcome

A well documented, designed, architected, and tested solution that confirms the value proposition and market opportunity.

The Challenge

Define and deliver a solution that increased inside sales and account penetration for their top tier client base. Knowing your clients needs and advising them proactively while achieving unmatched results is critical to client retention and further account penetration.

The Process

Our team worked with account managers to understand the sales process, the data they used, and the challenges they faced when servicing their clients. All too often account managers didn’t know how to best service their client needs without asking seemingly inept questions or appearing overly aggressive in driving sales for marginally interesting products and services.

The Outcome

By structuring clients by attrition risk, next actions, and canned scripts associated with the highest penetration and yield for the client we helped reduce attrition by more than 10% in the first quarter and driving additional sales resulting in increased revenues of over six million dollars.

The Challenge

Define and deliver a campaign management system that empowers campaign staff to leverage volunteers in an effort to efficiently identify favorable voters (voter ID) and inspire them to vote in the election (Get Out The Vote). Traditional methods require publishing call scripts, hiring staff to make countless calls to complete voter ID, and cataloging responses in a database. Our goal was to define an integrated system that supported defining call scripts with logical branching that anyone could use via VOIP in any browser as well as Facebook, Twitter, eMail, and Print integration for full campaign support. We developed inventory management features to track sign placement and other marketing media distribution to understand how the message was getting out and our precinct or voter area message coverage. Additionally, we developed mobile applications to enable campaign and volunteer staff the ability to conduct walking campaigns for door to door engagement and intelligence gathering in support of ensuring our candidate’s success in the election.

The Process

Countless hours of interviewing campaign staffers, volunteers, and campaign managers to define a robust engaging platform that gave our candidates a distinct advantage in mobilizing their volunteers and ultimately getting their supporters to the pools on election day.

The Outcome

Greater volunteer engagement, higher voter turnout, and a database of voter data that will secure success for years to come.
