The Challenge
The Squads app was created to address the challenge of maintaining motivation for fitness and wellness activities. The founder, Phil Eligio, recognized that keeping fit and active can be difficult when attempted alone. The app was designed to connect people with shared interests and goals, thereby fostering a sense of community and mutual motivation. The challenge was not only to create a platform that could facilitate these connections, but also to empower professional fitness and wellness influencers to build and monetize their followings. The app needed to be user-friendly, engaging, and capable of integrating with third-party services to enhance its functionality.
About The Customer
The primary users of the Squads app are individuals seeking to improve their overall health and wellness. These users range from casual fitness and wellness seekers to fanatics. The app also serves professional fitness and wellness influencers, including gyms, personal trainers, and fitness instructors, providing them with a platform to build and monetize their followings. The app is designed to appeal to a wide range of users, with the goal of helping people have a better quality of life through improved health and wellbeing.
The Solution
The Squads app was built using Bubble's no-code framework, which allowed for easy integration of third-party services and rapid development. Users are onboarded by answering a few questions to enrich their profile, which is then used to tailor their experience and recommendations. The app features an online chat functionality, allowing users to 'warm-up' to their Squad of potential event participants. Squads can create events for members to participate in, and members can access this information in a structured way and receive reminders to motivate participation. As the understanding of the userbase grows, the plan is to integrate layers of artificial intelligence to understand what drives users to engage, using this insight to present better recommendations. The app was soft-launched in September after a 6-week initial development period.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
