Case Study - Healthcare
Business Overview
Spectrum of Hope is a clinic in Houston, Texas, USA, focused on helping individuals on the autism spectrum learn the behaviors needed for a productive and positive lifestyle.
Spectrum of Hope uses ABA (applied behavioral analytics), an empirical and data-driven method of therapy that reinforces positive behaviors while discouraging maladaptive ones.
Spectrum of Hope provides ABA therapy for a range of ages, accommodating autistic children, teenagers, and adults.
Background and Challenges
Spectrum of Hope issued mobile devices to its staff for the sake of taking notes and retrieving patient records. Although this was very helpful for staff, a few new problems emerged as well.
- The clinic’s IT team needed to manage many different kinds of devices, which made it difficult to rely solely on tools offered by individual device manufacturers.
- If devices supported games and other off-topic apps, the devices could distract both clinicians and patients.
- Malfunctioning devices made therapy difficult and troubleshooting required clinicians to send the devices for repairs.

Spectrum of Hope worked with 42Gears to implement SureMDM, the 42Gears device management solution, as well as SureLock, the 42Gears device lockdown solution.
The clinic especially appreciated the emphasis that 42Gears placed on ease-of-use.
With the help of 42Gears, Spectrum of Hope resolved the issues it had experienced with business devices.
