Daikin Industries, Ltd. is a leading innovator and global provider of advanced, high-quality air conditioning and heating solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Grio performed a detailed usability analysis to produce an extensible design system architecture focused on common elements, such as colors, iconography, and patterns.

Design, product, and marketing projects have accelerated now that these teams no longer need to spend time sorting through multiple versions of brand assets, and the Daikin brand is represented consistently across platforms, without any compromise in performance or accessibility.

Fitbit is the industry leader in activity trackers and wireless-enabled wearable technology. While the Fitbit team is a master of wearable technology hardware, they needed a team that could assist with the design and development of the corresponding software.

Since 2016, Grio has provided mobile software development assistance for Fitbit, contributing to a wide range of iOS and Android initiatives.

Grio has played a major role in various Fitbit features, products, and releases, including multiple new device launches, payment integration, sleep & wellness tracking, onboarding, and subscription management.

SPARK BUSINESS is an app that helps small businesses better manage their finances and banking needs.

Grio collaborated with Capital One to design the SPARK BUSINESS app by providing direction in UX, visual design, strategy, planning, and process.

Deliverables were heuristic evaluations, a competitive analysis, persona development, MVP hypotheses, flow charts, wireframes, mockups, concept explorations, and prototypes. Grio also produced marketing site concepts, responsive designs, and a detailed style guide for SPARK BUSINESS.

Ceribell’s EEG device turns brainwaves into sounds, allowing front-line medical professionals, such as nurses and ER doctors, to quickly diagnose seizures and other brain function anomalies.

Ceribell tapped Grio to build a medical-grade IoT platform for their novel electroencephalogram (EEG) device. The Grio team designed and built Ceribell’s FDA-approved cloud-based EEG system, the first of its kind.

With Grio’s new build, clinicians can visualize multiple data streams concurrently, which has improved efficiency in the diagnostic and treatment workflow. A 2020 study found that the combination of the Ceribell EEG device and Grio’s IoT platform resulted in a wait time for results of 5 minutes compared to the 4 hours with conventional EEGs, as well as a diagnostic accuracy of 90% compared to the 65% using clinical judgment alone. A second study of the Ceribell EEG found that the use of the system resulted in average savings of more than $5,000 per patient. The Ceribell EEG Portal was the first FDA-cleared seizure burden trend for effective seizure management. The Ceribell system is now FDA-approved for all ages and is used in clinical settings across the country to detect ongoing seizures, making EEGs more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective.

Next Issue Media’s app, Texture, brings magazine subscriptions into the digital age. With one monthly payment, users get access to digital issues of over 200 popular magazines.

In 2016, Texture’s app was selected by the App Store editorial team for the annual Best Of selections. In 2018, Texture was acquired by Apple.

Neustar was looking for a creative partner to help them define a platform that would establish their company as a leader in the emerging market of Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

Grio developers established a set of flexible rules that would apply to a wide range of devices and use cases, using an agile process to build out the registry system. Our initial prototype expanded into a working Java-based IoT registry that was secure, scalable, and flexible.

Neustar’s registry solution has positioned the company as a leader in the IoT market. The Grio team provided extensive documentation, system plans, and a working platform that is ready to scale.

My Sutro is an IoT app that works with a smart monitor to measure the free chlorine, alkalinity, pH, and temperature of pools and spas. Sutro is a CES honoree for Most Innovative Smart Home Technology.

Grio has worked with Sutro to design & develop nearly all of their device software, including a chatbot, a chemical recommendation engine, and the underlying app software for web, iOS, and Android. Grio additionally built a modular system that allowed Sutro to test updates prior to completion of the full app, and to test the app prior to completion of the final hardware.

Sutro’s My Sutro pool monitoring solution launched in the fall of 2019. Some of Grio’s most impactful contributions to date include: providing full-stack development from Firmware to cloud on IoT devices, integrating the chatbot, adding marketing automation, and building a chemical recommendation platform.
