Partnering to Build a Next-Generation Device Management Platform for Nursing Homes

Partnering to Build a Next-Generation Device Management Platform for Nursing Homes

Healthcare
Solutions

Eastern Enterprise collaborated with a leading organization specializing in innovative healthcare solutions to create a software platform for tracking device installation locations within nursing homes. This platform revolutionizes maintenance and replacement processes, enabling healthcare professionals to deliver superior care.

The client is focused on enhancing elderly and disabled residents’ care by integrating cutting-edge hardware and software solutions. Their tablet- and mobile-friendly platform would enable nurses to communicate seamlessly with residents and monitor connected smart sensors, improving operational efficiency in nursing homes.

The project began with the development of a tablet application to handle device linking and management. In partnership with Eastern Enterprise, the application was developed with robust frontend support. Designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, it tracks hardware devices equipped with NFC tags, empowering installers and technical staff to manage and locate devices effectively.

PROJECT
CHALLENGE

  1. Difficulty sourcing skilled Android developers to meet the required technical and timeline expectations.
  2. Tight deadlines for delivering a fully functional application.

OUR
SOLUTION

Eastern Enterprise provided comprehensive frontend development support for the Android-based device management application. Tailored for landscape orientation on tablets, the app streamlines tasks for users by enabling:
  1. Selection of buildings or domains, along with associated sub-domains and products.
  2. Linking or unlinking devices using NFC tags.
  3. Replacing devices easily to simplify upgrades and maintenance.

Outcome

The collaboration resulted in the successful launch of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) version of the tablet application. Key outcomes include:
  1. Seamless device installations and management with user-friendly features.
  2. Positive feedback from users on the application’s functionality.
  3. Timely delivery that exceeded the client’s expectations.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Efficient Device Tracking: Simplifies device management, saving significant time for users.
