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.

Entertainment Guidance /portfolio-item/entertainment-guidance/ Tue, 21 Aug 2018 12:46:18 +0000 http://spearstone.com/?post_type=x-portfolio&p=674 Read More]]> i.TV was the leading entertainment guidance system for the iPhone and Android.

The Challenge

Define, architect, develop, and deploy a mobile entertainment guidance application in preparation for the launch of the first generation iPhone and the now famous Apple App Store.

The Process

Tireless hours pouring our hearts and minds into learning and building a solution to deliver a new experience on a new platform within a few months. We met with senior architects and user interface experts at Apple to ensure our design and implementation would sing and dance for users. It was critical to ensure that our users enjoyed a trilling feature rich experience in our app. We established a core team and brokered agreements with Amazon, Apple, TiVo, Rovi, and more to ensure proper scaleability for our anticipated load as well as video transcoding in real time.

The Outcome

A highly scaleable platform and harness that was later used as a model to offer services at AWS, a top 100 Apple Store App, more than 1,000,000 users in less than six months and over 4,000,000 installs within the first few years. When the Android released we were quick to capture that market as well!

Campaign Management /portfolio-item/campaign-management/ Fri, 10 Aug 2018 12:48:29 +0000 http://spearstone.com/?post_type=x-portfolio&p=678 Read More]]> EagleOps is a political campaign management system with tremendous ambition and far reaching impact for candidates and their teams.

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.
