The goal of the project was to provide a working proof of concept (PoC) presenting the intended functionality of the YoniCore system. The PoC consists of: 

• Embedded device firmware that runs on evaluation hardware based on Arduino 33 IoT platform 
• Mobile application for IOS & Android devices that reminds the user to strengthen the muscles during the day

The embedded part of the team created a product, that works as a proof of concept for the device to support people with problems with weakened pelvic muscles. The device can be used as the universal testing platform, with a modular structure and code easy to migrate on different platforms and models. 

The frontend team developed an application designed to assist individuals with weakened pelvic muscles in their training journey. The app offers three distinct training modes, each catering to different aspects of pelvic muscle health: strength training, endurance training, and cognitive training. 

The app also provides a versatile setup feature, allowing users to customize their training experience. These custom settings not only affect animations and visual elements but also enable users to adjust the duration of each training session to suit their individual needs and preferences.

We cooperated with Thaumatec on projects related to biometric devices, from early-stage / prototype development through to sustainment of mature products.

SOLUTION

Thaumatec was chosen because it proposed the right skillsets, at the right pricepoint, within the right timeframe - and we felt that the attitude of the company would fit well with ours.

The main area of work undertaken by Thaumatec was embedded software development, for which purpose they provided smart and well-skilled resources. (We will decline to state further details for reasons of commercial confidentiality).

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their ability to adapt to our business needs - in terms of team size, skillsets, and willingness - has been exceptional.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Occasionally the motivation of individual developers seemed to decline; this was always addressed when we pointed it out, and was never a significant issue. That said, I think that on long-term engagements like ours, maintaining motivation is an area where both parties need to focus. It is certainly something that we are now more mindful of with all of our subcontractor teams.
