ACT Assessment
**Executive Summary**
With the goal of assisting 100 million older individuals worldwide by 2030, the ACT team sought out Atom to evaluate their existing technology platform and ensure its readiness for global expansion. Following an initial assessment, Atom became the preferred technology partner for developing ACT's global platform.
**Company Overview**
The founders of ACT recognize the challenges that arise in countries with an increasing elderly population. Many of the needs of older individuals are unmet, and caregivers often lack proper training. ACT has determined that it is essential to establish systems that can identify risks to the wellbeing, independence, and health of older adults. Additionally, there is a need for scalable training systems for caregivers. Drawing on decades of research, ACT offers services across four main areas: a person-centered assessment and care-planning tool that addresses the genuine concerns and needs of older adults, an analytics tool that provides valuable data on the outcomes of interventions and the trajectories of wellbeing, independence, social connections, and health in older individuals, a training program designed to empower caregivers, and consultancy services to assist in developing policies, strategies, and implementation plans at global, national, and local levels.
**Challenge**
Prior to partnering with Atom, ACT was unaware of the organization of its IT infrastructure, making system updates appear complex and costly. This situation hindered their ability to create products and services.
**Solution**
Atom successfully identified the shortcomings in ACT's previous IT infrastructure and recommended a more effective alternative. Once ACT implemented these changes, product development became significantly easier, and Atom collaborated with the team at every phase to ensure the successful delivery of their requirements. Atom has since become ACT's long-term technology partner.
