Activity Management Portal
Client
Spry Learning Company develops computer-based learning programs for seniors living
in residence centers. The intention is to provide structured activities that enrich
daily life, promoting and facilitating life-long learning. Since research has shown
that activity and learning can stave off isolation and several illnesses that afflict
the elderly, the company successfully markets its services.
Business Need
The primary business need for Spry Learning was to develop and maintain an online
Spry Adept project for senior housing providers while simplifying the tasks of the
community activity director.
To meet the client's needs, Akvelon offered an Activity Management Portal to multiple
senior centers.
Solution
The main concern was to design software that would be user-friendly. However, Akvelon
managed to design a complex system with easy-to-use features.
We designed and developed the solution based on four major software components:
- Newsletter Product - The Newsletter Product creates
newsletters based on templates or from scratch. A newsletter can be designed using
database templates and selecting articles for different pages. This system makes
it possible to work with articles and photos from the library, or from a shared
location. The newsletter builder automatically pulls data from the Activity Product
or Marketing Product to create content. Then, the newsletters can be sent to a publisher
in just one click.
- Activity Product - The Activity Product is designed
to keep track of residents' needs and preferences while providing updates to their
families. This component manages the activities library, creating and publishing
calendars of activities. It will track the residents' participation in activities
and run reports. This component has a custom interface
to meet different requirements for both beginner and experienced users.
- Marketing Product - The Marketing Product keeps
track of community lead activities and needs. It assists in managing lead sources
and associated costs, while creating and publishing marketing activity calendars.
- Admin Product - Admin Product is developed to supervise
and, if necessary, take control of all activities in the system.
Benefits and Results
- Improved performance through rich functionality, convenient
navigation, advanced search options, automatic document creation, and template library.
- Increased user satisfaction with clear and intuitive applications,
useful help, and tutorial features.
- Improved productivity for activity directors: enhanced care
and entertainment for residents through system flexibility and advanced features.
