The Challenge
Montgomery County Juvenile Court judges have less than 10 minutes per child to review information from many parties and make potentially life-changing decisions. They must have efficient, comprehensive data flow. Gathering all of the requisite information can be difficult, particularly because things change quickly. It’s realistic to say that for 50 percent of the cases, something happens between the time when the clerks put together files and when court begins. This could result in wasting precious time discussing a recent update.
About The Customer
Located in Dayton, Ohio, the Juvenile Court is a division of the Montgomery County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas. In addition to two judges and nine magistrates, the court employs bailiffs, court reporters, judicial technicians and a large administrative staff. The court also oversees a probation services department that supervises more than 750 youth each year. Judge Anthony Capizzi has served the Montgomery County Juvenile Court for more than 13 years. Among his many duties is overseeing the juvenile treatment court, a weekly specialty court session that seeks to aid juveniles who are addicted to drugs.
The Solution
The court uses the IBM® Watson® Care Manager solution to synthesize information in real time from families, probation officers (POs), educators, employers and more and provide it to judges in a straightforward dashboard format. Judges can use the dashboard to drill down for more information as needed. The new dashboard is limited to Capizzi’s juvenile treatment court, but the judge hopes to expand the program soon. One aspect that Capizzi and the IBM team are working on is allowing interested parties in the court to input information into the system.

Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.
