关于客户
RunKeeper 是一家成立于 2008 年的健身初创公司。它为 iOS 和 Android 设备提供健身应用程序，使用户能够记录与户外活动相关的健康和表现数据。RunKeeper 手机应用程序可让用户将 iPhone 或 Android 智能手机变成私人教练，记录他们步行、跑步、骑自行车和其他户外活动的详细信息，使用户能够监控他们实现健身目标的进度。该公司的应用程序被 3000 万人使用，并与 100 多种第三方设备和服务集成。该公司是一家私营企业，总部位于马萨诸塞州波士顿。
挑战
健身初创公司 RunKeeper 在公司扩张过程中面临现有 PostgreSQL 数据库的可扩展性问题。该数据库无法跟上增长速度，威胁到公司的发展。RunKeeper 希望消除性能瓶颈，减少花在数据库管理上的时间和精力。这将使公司能够将资源集中在开发新的数据驱动功能和应用程序上，并帮助用户更快、更可靠地访问和分析他们的数据。
解决方案
RunKeeper 选择用 IBM Cloudant Dedicated Cluster 替换其现有数据库，这是一种始终在线的数据库即服务，可将数据存储为自描述 JSON 文档。该解决方案经过优化，可处理极大量的并发读写，这正是 RunKeeper 跟踪其用户健身活动的每个细节所需要的。数据自动存储、索引和分布在弹性数据库集群中，该集群可跨越多个机架、数据中心或云提供商，以提供卓越的可扩展性，为增长提供空间。RunKeeper 正在利用通过 IBM Cloudant API 提供的 Apache Lucene 全文搜索功能，使用它来加速用户查询。

Case Study
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.
