Case Study



Goals & Accomplishments
Insightfil’s instrumentation solution for medication packaging detects patient adherence behaviors in real-time. Insightfil pairs a custom smartphone app with unique disposable NFC tags that are attached to the patient’s medication packages – pill bottles, blister packs, pouches, et al. – that automatically detects when and where and if the dose matches the patient’s care plan.
We designed and developed clinician and patient user experiences for this fulfillment and adherence platform for Insightfil, having won over $2.5M in NIH SBIR research grants. Worked with Hartford Healthcare and UMass Memorial Health in establishing a product and service roadmap that meets the needs of their patients and caregivers. Led teams through a human centered design process, identifying user personas, use cases, and customer journey maps.
We developed dynamic multiproduct packaging and labeling technology that produces an FDA-compliant supplement facts label for customized dietary supplement bundles. Mobile-optimized web applications were deployed in to a dynamically scalable HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Installed custom fulfillment robot with touchscreen interface at manufacturing partner facility in Houston, Texas. Developed operational guides and trained robot operators on usage. Monitored and tuned system based on analytics data.
We participated in the NSF I-Corps Phase 0 program for startups culminating in an NIH SBIR Phase I and II grants with NCATS. Insightfil has participated in startup programs at MassChallenge, HealthBox, and I-Corps.
