Solution

The solution is an MVP designed for hospitals looking to improve their asset management system.

Two things were considered essential for the project’s success: an intuitive interface – easy to use by the medical and maintenance staff, and a fail-safe system built to minimize risks in case of errors.

The solution, consisting of a mobile application and a web interface, allows staff to:

Register the location of medical devices and other assets used in the care center
Find out the real-time location of every registered device
Measure, monitor, and analyze equipment utilization
Set up the infrastructure.

Collaboration

Our client is a key player in the wearable technology market, aiming to embody innovative tech into its products and set higher standards for the RFID/NFC industry.

Equipped with the right design and engineering capabilities, the dedicated software development team at Fortech brought a great product concept to life.

By relying on multiple brainstorming sessions within the team, close collaboration, and weekly syncs with the client, our team contributed to an MVP that was delivered fast.

Due to the experience gained in other similar international projects, our highly skilled engineers had full ownership in defining and implementing the architecture and DevOps aspects of the solution. Furthermore, they focused on designing the user-facing mobile application and developing new functionalities for the backend.

As for the future, the plans are to extend the solution to serve more than one facility care on a multitenancy cloud architecture.
