About The Customer
Founded in 2015, Kiddom is an educational technology platform designed to improve the teaching and learning experience in remote or hybrid classrooms. The technology enables a one-on-one connection between students and teachers, moderated class discussions, curriculum management, and much more. Kiddom is a one-stop-shop so teachers and students can focus on learning instead of navigating a suite of complex, disparate edtech tools. Kiddom supports a wide range of features such as single sign-on, and it has the flexibility for schools and educators to customize lesson plans, change control settings, engage classrooms, track grades, and more.
The Challenge
Kiddom, an educational technology platform, experienced rapid growth following the COVID-19 pandemic as remote and hybrid learning models became the norm. The platform, which offers a range of features such as single sign-on, customizable lesson plans, and grade tracking, sought to add video chat and in-platform messaging to its suite of tools. However, building these core functions in-house was deemed difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. The company needed a reliable, scalable, and quick-to-market solution that could handle the increased user base and enhance the communication functionality of the platform.
The Solution
Kiddom decided to integrate third-party chat and video functionality into their platform. They first explored video chat solutions and chose Dolby’s feature-rich video and audio product, which offers value-added communication functionality such as call recording, screen sharing, and file presentation. Stream’s unique partnership with Dolby led Kiddom to Stream Chat, which checked all of Kiddom’s requirements for a chat product. Kiddom used the React Native SDK from Stream to power in-platform messaging and plans to employ Stream’s recently added features such as profanity moderating blocklists. The integration of Stream was completed in less than a month, providing a reliable and scalable solution for Kiddom’s growing user base.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
