Take a few moments, close your eyes, and visualize the most perfect hot summer day. Odds are, you start to hear a jingle in your head. You know the one.

The one that plays on the neighborhood ice cream truck. That vision you’re having is pretty common for people in the United States. And it is all thanks to one brand that has been around since the 1950s, Mister Softee. Mister Softee is the largest franchiser of soft ice cream trucks in the United States. With over 600 trucks and over 350 franchises operating in fifteen different states (plus internationally), Mister Softee is more than just a brand. They're a staple in modern day culture and a classic fixture to any child's, family's, or adult’s summer.

Mister Softee wants to reach their next generation of customers through mobile.

Understanding that almost every child, teenager, and adult has a smartphone at their disposal, Mister Softee wanted to leverage this opportunity. Mister Softee wanted to create a mobile application that will allow anyone to see, in real-time, where a truck is, where it is going, and how close it is to them. Customers will potentially never miss their favorite ice cream truck again. They can track where a truck is and receive notifications when one is nearby. Trucks will be using geolocation devices and connect to customers’ geolocations at home or on the go.

The mobile application also provides a localized menu for each region that Mister Softee serves. Customers have the chance to pick out which menu items they want in advance. The mix of these two incredible functionalities means that Mister Softee franchises can see an increase in revenue from more informed customers. Furthermore, franchises will enjoy a quicker turnaround at each location since customers will be better prepared to order. This will lead to quicker lines, more returning customers over the course of a season, and better experiences. This equals more revenue and happier customers!

The team behind HEWN has operated a successful fabrics and home furnishings showroom for over a decade in San Francisco, California.

Long before the impetus of Covid19, they envisioned a technology-enabled component to compliment their bespoke home design experience.

And so, a game plan was set to help bring HEWN to life.

Users can view product offerings and request samples, working alongside their designer in-app to design the space of their dreams.

Previously, the showroom was the best way to walk customers through their extensive lines of design swatches and fabric materials.

Technology has long had the power to make life easier, and with Aurio, that now includes baby monitoring.

Aurio is a soft silicone wearable for babies that monitors breathing rate, sleep position and quality, diaper wetness, and surrounding body temperature.

Cuzzo's established network of local advertisers and sponsors offer up real prizes to winning fans, keeping ongoing user engagement high to power in-app ad monetization.

The Cuzzo app can host sponsored contests and show advertisements throughout the app and during game play. Everything that happens on this application is tracked for sponsors and advertisers. Who interacts with their ads? How often are they seen? What is their demographic? What prizes did users select that they want if they win? Sponsors can also take advantage of Cuzzo’s geolocation features for local-only events to encourage competitors to compete right from their own venue (post-Covid19, of course). Cuzzo Trivia can also tie in real-time trivia games with on-air radio, thanks to Anthony's engaged show fanbase.

Most importantly, TreeTalk places high emphasis on the patient-provider relationship, empowering users to filter what’s important to them.

VillagePledge is a gateway for every day individuals to kick in pledges for HBCU graduates.

In the Spring of 2019, multi-billionaire Robert Smith made an incredible promise during his commencement speech at Morehouse College. He would donate approximately $40 million to pay off the entire student loan debt of the graduating class. This announcement immediately went viral, sending shockwaves throughout the media. The announcement did more than just elicit cheers and media inquiries however, it also inspired entrepreneurs Jeffrey Reeves and Claude Dixon. They began conceptualizing an easy-to-use model for the everyday individual to have a hand in empowering the next generation of HBCU graduates. 

The key when building VillagePledge was to offer users a variety of accessible donation options.

With a few taps, a user can select an HBCU (or more than one) of their choice, connect a payment source, and contribute via a simple “round-up” feature. Users can also set up a recurring dollar amount at the interval of their choice, or even make one-time donations. Then, at the end of a year (or as needed) they can review a summary of how much help they were able to provide.

While browsing VillagePledge, users can learn more about the HBCU of their choice.

The app also serves as a gateway for users to learn more about the HBCUs and its graduates to which they are contributing. Background on academics programs, extracurricular activities and campus life, any social media presence and contact information. Chop Dawg designed the app so users can easily see how much they have contributed. The color system shows users whether or not their donations are still active, and they have the option to make changes at any point and set the donation increment as low as they want.

The map functionality, showing off fun icons to denote lost pets, found pets, and resources, shows how fun and serious subject matter can intermix. PetKey+ members also have extra benefits via subscription, allowing for instant alerts to go out to anyone in the area. Geolocation capabilities ensure users can see where pets were last seen, too.

Nightingale provides nurses with the tools they need to coordinate care for more efficiently and achieve better outcomes for their patients.

The stakes have never been higher for nurses caring for multiple patients in today’s busy hospitals. Colin Plover (PhD, MPH, MSN, MSEd, RN-BC), a health systems researcher, social entrepreneur and innovator — recognized the need for something better in health tech to help organize nurse-patient care allocation. Colin’s years of study, research and experience in the medical field laid the groundwork for Nightingale, which seeks to create an electronic pathway towards more positive medical outcomes.

The app itself is HIPAA compliant and powered by an algorithm working in tandem with the EHR (electronic health registry). It is designed to help make smart patient assignments based on past medical outcomes and experience, even gauging room location assignments to limit steps for each nurse on duty.

Nightingale displays up-to-date patient data and nursing assignments with just a few swipes of a tablet.

Users get instant access to unit coverage, nurse information, and patient data. This will lead to increased patient satisfaction and safety, potentially even saving lives. For administrators, they’ll save time and money by allowing for optimization of staffing and coverage, reducing the stress of nurses by allowing more precise allocation and tracking of assignments and care. 

The software’s algorithm offers data and insights into care, so healthcare organizations can match nurses with patients to deploy staff optimally.

Nightingale has a state-of-the-art admin backend built as a website application to manage day-to-day business. Using this admin backend will allow them to set up hospitals and units, create and manage users, track data and analytics, and provide user support when necessary. Nightingale’s technology provides advanced visualizations of care environments and unique analytics driving progress in healthcare delivery.

Ally is engineered as an easy-to-use app for caregivers and business operators to track their day-to-day. 

Since their inception, the team at JTR Solutions has been dedicated to providing better accessibility and cutting-edge technological integration in their caregiving businesses. They approached Chop Dawg, looking for us to help them build a mobile application to match the pace of day-to-day life as a dedicated caregiver, who are typically on-the-go. Their idea was to build a mobile application called Ally to help caregivers manage their schedules, clock-in and out, show payment history, and integrate a user-friendly knowledge-base for all parties.

Since caregivers can now instantly view schedules on their mobile device, get updates, and receive notifications in moments, they will be better equipped to do their jobs with ease.

The Ally app and JTR Solutions’ existing technological infrastructure were built to work in tandem with each other, so users and office managers alike can enjoy a seamless experience, and every operating detail is accounted for in real-time.

Our two companies collaborated closely to come up with the desired look and feel for Ally. The end result was a fully designed (later on, fully-functional) app for iPhone and Android, with all of the editable assets ready for programmers to take control of. JTR Solutions first received a clickable prototype (NFP) from us to be demoed to prospective individuals essential to their success. Chop Dawg also provided guidance to ensure that once Ally was ready for programming, it was in a position of success and future scalability. Now that we've started development, Chop Dawg planned the app to launch in stages, beginning with the caregiver portion of the app, followed by the office manager portion. Finally, the client-facing portion of the app will be developed. This staggered launch approach will allow JTR Solutions to get Ally to market quickly, improving their own business operations, too.

Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (OMS) is a global charity with a growing community of people from around the world who are making lifestyle changes to help manage their symptoms and live well with multiple sclerosis (MS).

They’ve developed invaluable free resources and guides over the years for those living with MS, all built around the OMS 7-Step Recovery Program developed by Professor George Jelinek. Their mission-driven work teaches that with commitment to the right lifestyle changes, there is the real probability that many people with MS can live long, healthy lives, relatively free of the usual problems associated with the illness. The promise of the Overcoming MS app means a more interactive, easier way for their global community to access these proven methods for living a healthy lifestyle with MS — from managing diet and exercise, to supplements, medicines, even meditation.

Overcoming MS has a rich background of supporting individuals with MS and their loved ones as a charitable organization.

With our teams working together, we can now provide a powerful app that puts these resources (and more) directly into a user’s hands. With the Overcoming MS app, users can quickly and easily build (then keep track of) a routine for care, eventually becoming confident enough to graduate from the app and apply their knowledge to their daily life. We also built a state-of-the-art admin backend to easily track metrics and organize existing and new content to help users live well and feel better.

The app provides in-depth guides to nutrition, medicine, and wellness measures designed to help those living with MS feel their best.

The app is free and set to expand upon an already thriving network of resources and community support built for those living with MS, and their loved ones. Users can get specific, easy-to-follow directions on their care and maintaining their wellness. They can also reach out to the OMS community for support.

Inappropriately treated conditions can lead to worsening health over time or even untimely death. MedSplain aims to do something about this preventable problem.

Simply talking to medical professionals can be tricky. Patients can often find it difficult to understand medical terms or instructions related to their diagnosis and treatment. This can leave patients confused, and more likely to poorly adhere to prescribed treatments. The confusion that follows can result in delayed or even a missed follow-up altogether. Patients may instead turn to "Dr. Google” or their peers for medical advice in the interim, leaving them vulnerable to preventable, negative medical outcomes. Dr. Nicole Longo approached Chop Dawg with the idea of MedSplain, an app to help patients navigate their diagnosis and treatment by bridging the communication divide between doctors and their patients.

Using MedSplain, users have instant access to a team of translators — verified, screened medical professionals to explain medical terminology in plain-English.

MedSplain provides real-time clarification of medical terminology. It can deliver a simple explanation of a diagnosis, treatment and provider instructions. With just a few taps and at a nominal cost, anyone can have a better understanding of their condition and prescribed treatments. MedSplain is also a great tool for prevention. Utilizing a simple yet powerful interface, anyone will be able to view a curated repository of medical terms and definitions, view helpful content related to their questions, and even find local healthcare providers.

A key feature of MedSplain is the on-demand connection to translators via video chat for explanations in real-time.

Sometimes, patients will need an speedy explanation of what medical terminology means. Once programmed, MedSplain brings the promise of supporting users in multiple timezones, country language support, as well as new payment options.
