Raccoopack Media

Raccoopack Media was hired by the University of British Columbia School of Nursing to develop a mobile app to support care for persons living with dementia in hospitals and long-term care homes. The app, called What Matters, offers comfort during times of distress using personalized media from the patient’s family, friends, and staff. Raccoopack was chosen due to their proven track record and strong relationship with the University. They quickly produced multiple prototypes and set up capabilities for user testing, working closely with the end-users during development to incorporate their feedback. The app was successfully released on iOS for further testing.

Raccoopack Media was also engaged by Curran's Karate to develop a children's martial arts themed game that links with their parents for assigning chores, and their karate instructor for attending classes. The project involved the creation of three interconnected apps for parents, instructors, and students. The parent app gave parents a dashboard to track their child's progress, while the instructor app offered a fast attendance and rank management system. The student game app allowed students to build and decorate their own dojo. Raccoopack was chosen for their great culture fit and aligned company values.

In another project, a lab services company contracted Raccoopack Media to develop a client portal where clients could interact, follow up on orders, and submit work orders online. The team developed a client-facing web app using Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, and Firebase. Raccoopack was instrumental in the information-gathering phase of the project, helping with documentation and mapping everything in an organized way to ensure a seamless process. The project was a success, with Raccoopack helping the company reach their target of 75% client uptake and 100% internal user uptake.
