Primer dinamómetro para rehabilitación, realizado íntegramente en el país

No Comments . Posted by Quadion Tags: , ,

Situación

El área Tecnologías para la Salud y la Discapacidad del INTI, que analiza y estudia constantemente problemáticas en el área de la salud, se topó con la necesidad de facilitar a kinesiólogos y hospitales, herramientas que permitan evaluar cuantitativamente las afecciones de los pacientes.

Hasta el momento, muchas de estas estadísticas se realizaban a partir de dispositivos de hardware importados desde Europa, con costos que rondaban los USD 10.000, y ciertas carencias en materia de funcionalidad.

Fisiomove, empresa nacional, supo detectar estas necesidades, y junto al INTI unieron esfuerzos para desarrollar el primer dinamómetro hecho íntegramente en el país.

La solución

Se optó por desarrollar un dispositivo de hardware que tomara las mediciones necesarias y enviara la información a una computadora personal que mediante un software específico tomara las mediciones, procesara la información y ofreciera resultados certeros. De esta forma se logro disminuir el costo del equipo, desarrollando únicamente el hardware de medición y aprovechando las prestaciones innatas de las computadoras personales actuales a partir de un software a medida.

A la hora de definir el proveedor de la aplicación, se optó por un equipo competitivo, con probada experiencia y trayectoria en el mercado, que puediera nos solo desarrollar la primer etapa del proyecto sino futuros módulos, que incorporarían nuevas mediciones.

Con el apoyo de INTI Tecnologías para la Salud y Discapacidad, se creó un equipo de trabajo interdisciplinario dirigido por el Lic. en Terapia Física, Oscar Ronzio y la colaboración del Ingeniero Darío Semino quien tuvo a cargo el desarrollo delhardware. Quadion, por su parte, tuvo a cargo el desafío de la programación de dicho software.

El Lic. en Terapia Física, Oscar Ronzio, remarcó la importancia de la confiabilidad aportada por la estabilidad del software, a diferencia de similares equipamientos extranjeros; como así también la fácil portabilidad del dispositivo permitiendo realizar mediciones objetivas confiables y a bajo costo.

Los detalles

El producto desarrollado – Isoforce – consta de un pequeño dispositivo de hardware que realiza las mediciones, y las envía a una computadora personal vía el puerto USB, donde se procesan a través de un software a medida desarrollado en .net.

El producto incluye una base de datos de pacientes a los que se les puede realizar diferentes pruebas dinamométricas, tomando los datos enviados por el hardwarey procesándolos a través de gráficos en tiempo real, del la fuerza en función del tiempo. Adicionalmente, permite conservar los historiales de las pruebas garantizando la obtención de conclusiones en base a estadísticas a largo plazo.

Basado en trabajos científicos que emplean metodologías similares, el software solicita de manera automática al operador una serie de repeticiones, detecta sus características, y solicita mediciones ulteriores en caso de ser necesario.

Por último, el producto permite visualizar los resultados de la base de datos, imprimirlos y exportarlos en diferentes formatos.

Balance

Isoforce permite la medición de la FMVI (fuerza máxima voluntaria isométrica), la fuerza explosiva isométrica, y la realización de pruebas de resistencia y pain tests, que detectan a qué nivel de contracción surge el dolor.

La herramienta también ofrece importantes avances para la evaluación y el tratamiento de pacientes que se encuentran realizando rehabilitaciones, y facilita información rica para el campo de la investigación. Permite cuantificar grados de disfunción, saber cuándo el paciente tiene el alta deportiva, qué necesita entrenar, etc.

El equipo es pequeño y liviano, para poder ser fácilmente transportado y montado en cualquier sitio (como por ejemplo, un campo de juego).

Finalmente, el costo del equipo ronda los USD 1.750, menos de la quinta parte de sus pares importados; convirtiéndolo en una opción sumamente interesante para la medicina física, el deporte y la rehabilitación.

El equipo es comercializado por Fisiomove no solo en el país, sino también en el exterior, gracias a que no se precisan certificaciones internacionales.

Instituciones que ya han optado por esta herramienta

Entre las instituciones que ya han adoptado este dinamómetro se encuentran la Universidad Favaloro, el CeNARD, el Club Gimnasia de La Plata y el Hospital Fernandez, donde un equipo de especialistas estudian si es posible aplicar la dinamometría isométrica para la evaluación del Parkinson.

Próximos Pasos

Como nuevo desafío, Quadion y Fisiomove se encuentran trabajando en la evaluación de la fuerza muscular computarizada pero con un nuevo dispositivo que permite cuantificar y cualificar saltos del deportista.

Consiste en dos plataformas de salto (ISO- JUMPER) sobre la cual el individuo realiza diferentes tipos de saltos y, por medio de un software, analiza íntegramente como se desarrollaron y brinda un exhaustivo análisis objetivo.

  

Sobre Fisiomove

Case – Custom ERP Implementation Using Scrum

No Comments . Posted by Quadion Tags: , ,

Background

Until 2009, South American Tours S.A, receptive tourism operator, with 25 employees in Argentina and more than 130 in its branches in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Germany, used a very simple administration system called “Tour Office” for its every day processes.

A hundred percent devoted to operations, this system wouldn’t allow the board of directors a comprehensive analysis of the company’s profitability or management controls on a daily basis.

By late 2006, the company’s new administrative team spotted inefficient processes responsible for a poor, ineffective managerial strategy. Being “Tour Office”outsourced , SAT remained captive of its supplier who wouldn’t adapt their software to either a new way of doing things or to the necessary changes in a swinging business.

Quadion was called by this board of directors for the last stage of the 2008/ 2009 re engineering phase?. Quadion’s involvement was meant to target an updated system compatible with the newest trends and able to automate many of the processes that until then had been manual and error prone. The ultimate expected result: integrating the day to day operations into a unique business management tool that could provide a global vision for directors and shareholders.

Quadion, that had worked with the board in a project with similar characteristics for the Land Registry Office obtaining outstanding results, proposed a year work plan for developing an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) suiting the company’s real needs.

The Process

There were setbacks on the way. As months went by some business difficulties popped up, adding an unexpected complexity to the originally approved plan.

As the team worked on the project, new definitions, variables and modules arose showing a clear clash with the previously agreed requirements. After six months of work, it was obvious that the system would not have the original scope and that changes and modifications would occur on a daily basis, thus the project had to be redesigned.

It was agreed to work on “incremental prototypes”, two–week working modules that would produce really short “deliverables” that could validate progress, obtain customer feedback and quickly correct possible deviations and mistakes. Scrum was the selected working framework and almost two years were necessary to build the application suite.

Only by the beginning of the third year the system ran smoothly in a production environment, with all the variables under control.

The Solution

The implemented solution “SatNet” is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning or a Resource Planning System) that works very well with South American Tours accounting system (Microsoft Dynamics GP) allowing an overall and efficient management of all the sectors of the company, reaching all its branches from a unique integrated system.

The Implementation

Going from the old system to SatNet meant an additional challenge. The project team had to deal with a strong resistance to change and lack of trust in the new method as the board gained a wider access to the company’s operations and exerted more control on the business as a whole.

The process to align the company behind common goals and set a new corporative culture implied the board’s strong commitment. It was only achievable by means of various trips and in-company workshops which resulted in a successful and integrated system understanding.

Balance

As a result of the implementation, SatNet allowed the board to have real information on their operations and a quantum leap on the company’s decision making process. Operating costs were successfully reduced in a 30% as processes were automated, dead time eliminated, mistakes minimized and unnecessary tasks erased. All this had a direct impact on customers, who experienced fastest response times as SAT improved its customer service.

Undoubtedly, the biggest strength was the integration of the administrative and operations areas which resulted in a visible balance and a clear direction of the company’s numbers. The ultimate goal had finally been achieved: a thorough analysis of SAT’s profitability.

Recommended Reading – Kanban and Scrum: making the most of both

No Comments . Posted by Quadion Tags: , , , ,

About the Book

Scrum and Kanban are two flavours of Agile software development – two deceptively simple but surprisingly powerful approaches to software development. So how do they relate to each other? The purpose of this book is to clear up the fog, so you can figure out how Kanban and Scrum might be useful in your environment.

Part I illustrates the similarities and differences between Kanban and Scrum, comparing for understanding, not for judgement. There is no such thing as a good or bad tool – just good or bad decisions about when and how to use which tool.This book includes:- Kanban and Scrum in a nutshell- Comparison of Kanban and Scrum and other Agile methods- Practical examples and pitfalls- Cartoons and diagrams illustrating day-to-day work- Detailed case study of a Kanban implementation within a Scrum organization.

Part II is a case study illustrating how a Scrum-based development organization implemented Kanban in their operations and support teams.

Recommended Reading – Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager’s Guide

No Comments . Posted by jdelgado Tags: , , ,

About the Book

Agile and iterative methods have emerged as the most popular approaches to software development, and with good reason. Research (examined and cited in detail within this book) shows that iterative methods reduce the risk of failure, compared to traditional models of development.

This book is an efficient introduction for both managers and practitioners that need a distilled and carefully organized learning aid for the hands-on practices from planning to requirements to testing and the values that define these methods.

The author also provides evidence of the value of switching to agile and iterative methods. By studying this book, the reader will learn to apply the key ideas in agile and iterative development, the details and comparison of four influential iterative methods (Scrum, Extreme Programming, Evo, and the Unified Process), answers to frequently asked questions, and important related management skills.

The book’s goal is quality information that can be quickly understood and applied.

Quadion Puts Scrum Methodology to Work in Developing an Automated Debris Management Solution (ADMS) for Metric Engineering

No Comments . Posted by Quadion Tags: , , , ,

ADMS Facilitated Cleanup in Aftermath of Hurricane Ike, Third Costliest in U.S. History

Scenes of Devastation

In September 2008, Hurricane Ike made its final landfall over Galveston, Texas, cutting a swath of destruction as a Category 2 hurricane with a Category 5 equivalent storm surge and hurricane force winds extending 120 miles from the center of the storm. All told, Ike was the third costliest hurricane ever to make landfall in the United States, causing $15 billion in damages, mostly in the state of Texas.

In the aftermath of the devastation caused by Ike, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)—along with various agencies within the state, including the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas General Land Office, Galveston County, and the City of Galveston—was faced with restoring a state of normalcy to the region by facilitating the quick and efficient disposal of debris. All told, there were seven projects that required attention and, in addition to debris removal from roads and state parks—which included damaged structures, vehicles, boats, and hazardous materials—eco-sensitive areas needed to be contained and monitored for environmental impact.

The TxDOT and the affiliate agencies tasked Metric Engineering, Inc. (Miami), one of the nation’s leading engineering, architectural, construction, and emergency management organizations specializing in infrastructure and transportation for government clients, with monitoring the entire debris removal operation utilizing its automated debris management system. The project would entail customizing and enhancing the system to systematically handle all aspects of the operation, and make adjustments as requirements—and circumstances on the ground—changed.

Time is typically one of Metric’s biggest challenges, especially when working on an Emergency Management Services (EMS) application. “We often don’t get notified of some core requirements until after a disaster has hit and we acquire a contract,” said Deepali Patil, Data Solutions Manager for Metric, who oversees the development of customized and integrated information systems. “Which is understandable, as disasters of the magnitude of Ike pose unpredicted challenges—events on the ground are fluid, and require that developers are deployed on site to make on-the-fly modifications to our debris management system.

A Partner in a Storm: Metric Engages Quadion

Metric’s team quickly realized the need to augment their internal resources. They needed to find a partner with the right capabilities and experience, who could jump right in, understand the project’s scope, the challenges, and hit the ground running. One of Patil’s supervisors referred her to a software development firm called Quadion, with whom he’d successfully worked in the past. On paper, Quadion’s capabilities and experience appeared to be an excellent match—they had developed sophisticated emergency management systems and as adherents to the Scrum development methodology, were versed in working with cross-functional teams in delivering solutions that were adaptable to the dynamics of emergency situations. Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for project management and agile software development.

There was, however, a potential sticking point: Quadion was based over 4,000 miles away, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Despite their obvious abilities, we needed assurances that we could integrate our teams without having to worry about language barriers and the geographical distance, as seamless, real-time communication is critical, particularly for a time-sensitive project as this,” said Patil. “From day one, communications were flawless, as Quadion has worked with stateside groups before. There were absolutely no language issues, and they had a communications infrastructure ready to go, which included video conferencing, VoIP, and efficient collaboration tools with version control and daily off-site backup. Quadion’s management staff also made periodic personal visits to our office in Miami to make sure that everything was functioning efficiently.” Quadion also sent staff to work onsite during the initial phases of development.

I soon learned that one of Quadion’s key strengths is taking minimally defined requirements and promptly delivering a concept product. We may not always start out knowing exactly what we want to deliver to our client, but by the end of the project we are able to meet our client’s needs with great customer satisfaction,” Patil explained.

Defining the Project: The Challenges of Hitting a Moving Target

According to Quadion’s CEO Javier Delgado, “The initial scope of the project was, as Patil mentions, somewhat vague. The goal was to build and customize an Automated Debris Management System™ (ADMS™) to facilitate the timely and efficient cleanup of the devastation caused by Ike. There were requirements to comply with, and some uncertainties regarding the context the app would have to be run in. The Scrum methodology we use gave us a framework in which to build incremental prototypes of each component of the system. Our approach was hands-on and test-driven, as some of the technologies we had to integrate were almost experimental—such as military mobile devices and encrypted cards to authenticate users.

The project’s goal was to automate a very significant operation, and tailor an ADMS that had two core elements: a Right-of-Way (ROW) Site Debris Management module (an electronic load ticket application of the ADMS that records ROW transactional data for mission managers, haulers, and applicants) and a Disposal Site Debris Management module (to manage transactions between origination and disposal).

Communications and Coordination

Given the importance of this project, Metric’s president, Carlos Duart, traveled to Argentina to meet with the Quadion team during the initial discovery and analysis phase. “Meeting the Quadion team and working hand-in-hand with them at the onset deepened my confidence in their technical proficiency and development capabilities. They clearly had a very good handle on the project’s scope, its challenges, and the need to adjust to changing circumstances. After several sessions, there was never a doubt that we’d deliver an exceptional ADMS solution,” Duart said. Indeed, Duart delegated all the later stages of the process to Quadion, given their proven ability to meet all requirements in a timely manner.

The project was completed in phases, and continued over the course of two years. Quadion’s lead developer also made a handful of trips to Texas during deployment to provide training, and integrate and fine tune some specific tools. Indeed, the project continues to evolve, as Quadion is working on a module to comply with new requirements that have arisen.

From the very beginning, Quadion’s team delivered,” said Patil. “They are always professional, pleasant, and very responsive. If we can’t get in contact with one person, we are always able to contact someone else—for a project of this scope, where we are always having to address new requirements, that kind of responsiveness is critically important.

Metric and Quadion: Teamwork Pays Long-term Dividends

The ADMS ultimately put in place provided the TxDOT with a more efficient, accurate, and auditable process for debris management. It does everything from ensuring debris eligibility and completion of load tickets for reimbursement; providing tools for immediate processing, estimating, viewing, and analysis of data; facilitating real-time, operational decision-making, and reducing staffing requirements and program costs.

The partnership has worked so well that Metric has adopted the Scrum methodology in all its projects. “Interacting with Quadion on a daily basis has demonstrated the value of Scrum in streamlining development and accelerating product delivery,” said Patil. “We often face roadblocks and unexpected issues due to the nature of our work, which involves collaboration among managers and developers, often working in different locations, to find optimal solutions. Working with Quadion has provided dividends beyond the scope of this project.

Patil noted that client feedback has been positive and she heartily recommends Quadion to other organizations. “Any gaps in technical knowledge, especially given the complexity of the work we do, have been improved throughout our working relationship. We look forward to partnering with Quadion on future projects.
