Case Study · 04 / 05

Supplement Sorting App.

A focused internal tool that cut sort time per patient from 18 minutes to under 4.

Context

Where they were coming from.

An integrative medicine practice was hand-sorting supplements into weekly regimens for individual patients. The work was happening in a spreadsheet, then transcribed onto physical bags by hand.

The cost was not the supplements. It was the eight hours a week the team spent doing the sort.

What We Built

The agent, specified.

A focused internal app that takes the patient's regimen, generates a pick list per day, prints labels, and produces a verification checklist for a second pair of eyes. Not an AI agent, just well-built software, which is sometimes the right answer.

  • Custom React app on a Postgres backend
  • Label printer integration (Dymo)
  • Two-person verification flow
  • Patient regimen versioning
  • Export to chart-of-record

Results

The shape of the curve after launch.

Illustrative metrics pending client sign-off. The shape of the curve matters more than the exact number. These are the moves we aim for.
