The XPD Presentation
Off the shelf mobile data collection and cloud analysis solutions
Explain the problem you're solving?
Significant numbers of companies offer products and services, which allow customers the ability to run test (allergy, gas testing, and many more) in their own environment. However, collecting, recording, and sharing this information is often weak or non-existent, relying on localised record collection, and maintenance. This results in; poor quality, insecure, and often uncoordinated data sources. Further opportunities exist in providing the opportunity to centrally aggregate and analyse valuable sources of data, and information. While these inefficiencies are wasteful, but not critical to organisation, legislation in many of these areas is tightening, which is challenging companies who need to meet these higher standards, to stay in business. These businesses often do not have the scale to develop and maintain increasingly sophisticated solutions, which provide high quality data collection and maintenance, and affordable and flexible costs.

What have you done so far?
Developed a mobile application on the iOS platform in conjunction with an initial Allergy testing client, app will me released to client, customer base in the near future (within 60 days).
Mapped and designed wider service model beyond application, to include central services
Investigated extended technical options that could support sophisticated analysis, beyond local tools
Who's your competitor?
Other application and cloud providers
Established LIMS system producers
New entrants to the market as the barriers to entry low to medium
However, rapid expansion through the acquisition of clients, and the licensing of the solutions, and unique development and integration with technically advanced sensors and analytical tools, could offer mid term defence against competition.
