Client Story:

Improving Lives With VR App

People living with end-of-life care in assisted living facilities face more than physical health challenges. Anxiety and loneliness are also constant, unwanted companions.

In a groundbreaking pilot project, we build a virtual reality (VR) app for Florida’s Vista Springs Quail Highlands Assisted Living facility to deliver adjunctive distraction therapy for patients. Using a headset, they can escape into a curated, peaceful experience—while the Centric app gathers data on vital signs for healthcare workers.

Custom Application Development FAQs

What is your approach to custom application development?
We combine modern experience design, product engineering, modular architectures, and DevOps practices to help you develop custom applications. Our Custom Application Development consultants use these four practices to modernize your legacy applications, develop new software, and ship new innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, and other next generation tools.

How do you ensure the scalability and reliability of the software solutions you build?
At the basis of our custom application development lies our Modern Software Delivery (MSD) methodology. MSD uses a holistic approach to software development, combining cloud computing, Agile and DevOps methodologies, and quality assurance testing. Because they’re developed in the cloud, your custom application won’t have to rely on on-prem servers, which can only hold so much space and can be impacted by, for example, power outages, making your application more scalable and reliable than with legacy systems.

Can you provide examples of successful custom application development projects you have completed?
Yes, we recently worked with Florida’s Vista Springs Quail Highlands Assisted Living facility to deliver adjunctive distraction therapy for patients via a virtual reality application. With a headset, patients can access a peaceful experience built for them while healthcare professionals can gather information related to vital signs.

What methodologies do you use for modernizing legacy applications?
We use legacy application rationalization, application remediation, application and data modernization, and application migration to help your organization modernize its legacy applications. We do all this with your budget and time constraints in mind to improve your applications’ functionality, look and feel, and nimbleness.

How do you handle cloud-native development and integration?
We approach cloud-native development with methods like microservices architecture to establish the building blocks. We then use orchestration tools like Kubernetes for containerization, and containers like Docker to establish transferable, portable units. Lastly, continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines allow organizations to automate processes that quickly deliver software work, updates to that software, and deployment to production.

What is your process for ensuring application security and compliance?
We take a four-pillar, comprehensive approach to security and compliance, starting with a thorough compliance and risk assessment. We also include multi-layered defenses, regular security audits and testing, and blend automation with human expertise to create a strong security posture that follows top data privacy and protection standards.

How do you incorporate innovative technologies such as AI, IoT, and blockchain into your custom applications?
Our best practices for incorporating innovative technologies include identifying and focusing on today’s core capabilities and offerings while working with you to determine what would fit best with your needs for modernization and supporting your customers.
