Challenge

Our team did it all for this project – from planning the product’s architecture to labeling the data and training the neural network. This hands-on approach to computer vision services helped us become experts in the field and led to a fully working product as the outcome. We tackled a set of machine learning challenges and industry-related standards of using computer vision in agriculture, too.

Solution & functionality

Our ready-made solution is a mobile app that uses computer vision in agriculture to count bees in the hive accurately. It also creates user-friendly charts and graphs, making it easy to monitor the hive’s growth and health.

Object detection for beehive population count and health tracking

We have harnessed object recognition technology, so now it is possible to scan and instantly figure out how many bees are in the hive. Also, the solution helps distinguish the regular bees from the queen bees.

A modern user-friendly mobile app

Our team built mobile computer vision software from the ground up with an easy-to-use interface. We also added a feature where a client can get automatic reports about the hive’s status using the information uploaded.

Results and business value

We’ve successfully crafted computer vision solutions for iOS, designed to assist beekeepers in caring for their beehives more effectively.

Benefits 

Our app offers a major time-saving advantage. With traditional manual inspections taking up to an hour per beehive, our computer vision services help beekeepers inspect a hive in just 10 minutes or even less.

    Incorporate video conferencing functionality
    Guarantee HIPAA adherence
    Achieve smooth integration

    Solution & functionality

    The team crafted a digital healthcare solution for remote medical care available on both iOS and Android. While working on telemedicine app development, we considered every facet of the healthcare process, from appointment scheduling to reimbursement processing. This resulted in the creation of two modules: one for physicians and one for patients.

    Patient module

    Security

    To get access, users should pass through multi-factor authorization. As the product targets the US market, this measure is especially crucial regarding HIPAA-compliancy rules.

    Personalization features

    Patients input their symptoms into the chatbot, and the system correlates them with relevant physicians.

    Easy scheduling

    All healthcare workers have their profiles with comprehensive information, like experience, education, and timetable. Patients receive smart suggestions from the chatbot or can choose the available doctors in the list via filtering and schedule a consultation. After confirmation from the doctor, the system sends a push notification to the patient.

    Multimedia integration

    For doctor-patient consultations, the telehealth solution offers video calls. All electronic appointments are securely recorded and saved in a HIPAA-compliant cloud. When necessary, participants can exchange text messages and multimedia content. After the e-visit, patients are encouraged to give feedback and evaluate the doctor’s performance. Ultimately, the doctor devises a treatment plan, schedules necessary lab tests, prescribes required medications and organizes the next appointment.

    Physician module

    Functionality for physicians and the administrative staff

    Within the telemed app, doctors have access to timetables, can validate appointments, engage in electronic consultations, prescribe medications, and generate treatment outlines. They are able to access the patients’ profiles to monitor vitals, medication intake, view appointment history, and analyze medical records.
    As for the administrative staff, all the critical data is synchronized within the app which can be effortlessly linked with in-house telehealth software solutions, and the administrators can easily oversee reimbursement and healthcare billing processes.

    Results and business value

    The team crafted native applications for iOS and Android for remote healthcare, seamlessly merging them into the client’s healthcare software setup. We provide ongoing support and implementation of new functionality for the released product.

    HIPAA compliance and secure PHI

    Reduced costs for healthcare delivery

    Expected 5-7% boost in economic results

Users can make transfers and payments (via QR codes as well) on an account-to-account basis by account number, email or mobile phone number. Individual and corporate users can replenish their accounts, as well as make requests for payment (for instance, to split the bill).

      Digital wallet inside the application

      To use the app, customers are required to connect their bank card/s and undergo the authentication process, providing details such as the bank’s name, account number/card information. The amount of cards the user can link, regional or foreign, is unlimited. After the registration and veri?cation process, users get access to the digital wallet.

      Personalization

      The app gives users flexibility and a range of personal budgeting features. Thus, it allows users to check the payments record, get detailed reports on incoming and outcoming transactions, set goals, and receive notifications to be on top of the spending limits.

      Results and business value
