What We're Working On: Products With Impact

We often tell folks who are new to our work at Lithios that we are an “industry-agnostic” app development agency. When you view our portfolio, you’ll see that we don’t work on one just type of product. Our work spans across a wide variety of industries, from healthcare, to IoT, sports, government, and much in between. The best part? We love it all. 

There’s something to be said, though, for the impact-focused products we’ve been working on over the past quarter. Not only because we’re software people, but because we believe these mission-driven products will positively affect the lives of those who use them. 

Here are a few summaries of the impactful work our clients are pursuing:

Teen Health Research - Teen Health Research out of NCSU has a new application called "Let's Talk, which facilitates open communication about sexual and relationship health within families, specifically targeting parents and their 10-13 year old children. Let's Talk encourages healthy, age-appropriate conversations and education.
‍

Betabox - Betabox is dedicated to making hands-on STEM education accessible to all K-12 students. They provide onsite field trips where they bring mobile labs directly to schools, as well as resources for extended STEM programs, which enable teachers to continue engaging students with interactive learning long after the field trip experience. 

Theralinq - Theralinq focuses on early intervention in pediatric therapy to address developmental, cognitive, or physical challenges in children. Theralinq's proactive approach encourages collaboration between parents and therapists, allowing parents to initiate care plans and coordinate with professionals, which, in turn, optimizes their child’s developmental trajectory and improves long-term developmental outcomes.

Smart Girls - Smart Girls HQ, is a learning platform that facilitates STEM career education with a focus on female learners and non-traditional learning spaces. The vision is to create an ecosystem of products that, when used together, are a powerful catalyst for sustaining long-term engagement in STEM for young girls.

Are YOU Ready To Make An Impact? Aid for Western North Carolina 

The damage caused by Hurricane Helene late last month in Western North Carolina was wholly unprecedented, and while the impact will, unfortunately, be felt for years to come, it's been incredible to see how our communities have joined forces to provide the aid and support to the victims of this catastrophe. 

As our state works to rebuild towns and communities that were left in destruction, there is still need for monetary resources across numerous channels. 

We've compiled a short list of WNC-based organizations that would greatly benefit from donations. Please consider making a contribution. Any amount helps to support in this time of need.

BeLoved Asheville
Manna Foodbank
Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministries (religious organization)
Hearts With Hands (religious organization)
Hospitality House
North Carolina Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund

Here is a larger list of organizations if you'd like to view more in addition to the above list.‍

Thank you for supporting our neighbors in WNC.
