About The Customer
Press & Say is a Chilean startup focused on improving the autonomy, well-being, and quality of life for individuals with complex communication needs. They develop therapeutic tools for digital health and assistive technology, which are used to control and monitor rehabilitation processes. Their initial product was an Augmentative and Alternative Communication System mobile app for speech-impaired individuals, which evolved into a therapeutic tool for health professionals. The company aims to provide solutions that can be used for tele-rehabilitation, allowing health professionals to monitor patients' KPIs via mobile devices. Press & Say Analytics, their online platform, offers Power BI-like interactive visualizations of rehabilitation data for speech therapists and caregivers.
The Challenge
The challenge faced by Press & Say was the need to create interactive dashboards for speech therapists to monitor patient KPIs effectively. Initially, they used AWS DynamoDB, a NoSQL database, to handle the anticipated massive flow of data. However, they encountered a barrier in making the data visually alive in dashboards. The startup, being in its seed stage and based in Latin America, found the cost of custom dashboard analytics platforms prohibitive. They needed a solution that was easy to implement and manage, especially given the co-founder's limited experience in raw-coding development on a NoSQL database.
The Solution
Press & Say decided to develop their dashboard in-house using Redash, but faced challenges in serving SQL queries from their NoSQL database. After evaluating various NoSQL dashboard services, they found Rockset, which fit their need for serving fast SQL queries on top of DynamoDB. Rockset was easy to set up, and with its native DynamoDB connector, they quickly deployed their first visualization. This allowed them to focus on developing useful KPIs for clients and conducting studies with patients and rehab centers to test and validate their data model. They also create customized dashboards for each health institution, adapting to their specific needs and objectives.

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.
