About The Customer
24 Hour Fitness is a leading health club industry pioneer based in San Ramon, California. The company serves nearly 4 million members in over 400 clubs across the U.S. For more than 30 years, 24 Hour Fitness has been dedicated to helping members change their lives and reach their individual fitness goals. They offer convenient club locations, personal training services, popular group exercise classes, and a variety of strength, cardio, and functional training equipment.
The Challenge
24 Hour Fitness was facing challenges with their existing system. Their orchestration, transformation, and business rules were buried in Java code, making it time-consuming to understand how their systems operated, bring new hires up to speed, and answer use case questions. The complexity of their business rules and the general mistakes that naturally occur in human communication made it time-consuming and error-prone to translate information from the product owners to developers and vice versa.
The Solution
After listing out their requirements for an ESB, 24 Hour Fitness noticed that a BPMN suite fit their needs as well as, if not better than, the more common ESB products. They compared several open source products and decided on Camunda. It provided all the tools they needed to develop and deploy processes within their current development and deployment pipeline. However, to reach their performance goal, they had to disable all history. With history disabled, they lost insight into the usages of their processes and where failures happened. They also faced challenges with the way cockpit and development tools work, as there was no way to drill down into the child processes. Since their processes are layers deep this caused them to spend more time understanding their processes than should be required.

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.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
