Churchill Downs

Churchill Downs is creating a mobile-friendly web solution for gathering online donations. **The Story** Churchill Downs Inc. approached Slingshot for a digital 50/50 raffle system aimed at supporting various charities, including Thoroughbred Aftercare, Arts and Education, and Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research. The objective was to launch this system in time for the Kentucky Derby to take advantage of the event's festive atmosphere. **Technology:** ASP.net, C#, MVC, Microsoft SQL Server, Java **UX Design Web App Development** **Taking Aim** The concept was straightforward: enable track visitors to easily make donations for a 50/50 raffle while attending the races. To achieve this, we needed to create a seamless and user-friendly experience that could be accessed from mobile devices. **Objectives Hitting The Target** The website was successfully completed and launched for the 2017 Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. Purchasing a raffle ticket was made simple while still complying with the necessary regulations regarding the issuance of printed tickets. Since its initial launch, the initiative has raised over $250,000 and is utilized each year for the Derby, with no signs of discontinuation.

Decision Support Tool

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago

The Narrative It’s truly tragic that many victims of child abuse go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed by healthcare professionals, often due to a lack of awareness of the warning signs. When it comes to those who are most vulnerable, we cannot afford to make errors. Despite the abundance of research on identifying abuse, much of it remains unknown. Dr. Mary Clyde Pierce, a leading authority in this area, along with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, recognized the need to provide clinicians with easy access to vital child abuse data. Mobile App Development UX Design Healthcare Solutions Taking Action By closely collaborating with Dr. Pierce, emergency room nurses, pediatricians, and other medical professionals, we explored ways to efficiently disseminate knowledge about child abuse. Our discussions highlighted the necessity for a mobile-friendly and user-friendly solution. Additionally, the app needed to be engaging, interactive, and firmly supported by reliable data. Given HIPAA regulations, it was crucial to ensure that no patient information was collected or stored. Objectives Achieving Our Goals We are thrilled to announce that the app is now live and available for free download! Clinicians can respond to questions about signs and symptoms and document patient injuries on a 3D interactive model of the human body. The app incorporates extensive research, much of which was developed by Dr. Pierce, and aims to educate healthcare providers on improving their ability to identify abusive situations. Ultimately, the app has been released at no cost and is being promoted worldwide as a new standard for best practices in recognizing potential child abuse.

New Roots Mobile App

New Roots

New Roots is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing high-quality produce to underserved neighborhoods through “fresh-stop” markets and the distribution of fruit and vegetable “shares.” Their mission is to ensure that everyone in Kentuckiana has year-round access to affordable, organic food. Previously, New Roots contacted each shareholder individually to remind them of upcoming local markets, a time-consuming process that often led to shareholders forgetting their orders. They also aimed to transparently show the actual cost of shares and offer a donation option. To address these challenges, we partnered with New Roots, the winners of our Launch initiative, to develop a mobile app. This app not only simplifies the sign-up process for new shareholders but also provides timely reminders for ordering and collecting shares. The New Roots app was launched in November 2020 and is available on both Google Play and the Apple Store. It features notifications for shareholders about upcoming markets, allows users to make payments and donations directly through the app, and includes a web-based admin portal for managing app content, shareholders, and orders.
