This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary. In the first scenario, we planned a huge party with invitations for clients, partners, allies, and the team, of course. Pandemia and lockdown revised our bold plans for an extraordinary event. We’ve thought we could meet only with teammates, but even that option was too risky.

Over the past few years, living a healthy lifestyle has become the thing. The trend of apps offer health-related services on smartphones is overflowing.    Mobile apps and devices have become our personal fitness trainer and portals to wellness needs.

Our special Ikigai Team's developed a system to fight with misinformation during the pandemic. In only four weeks, we've created a system that allows verifying Coronavirus-related (but not limited to) information based on a crowdsourcing approach, with future extension to NLP.   The project was realized as a part of DO OK's pro bono activities to develop fully working open-source solutions. Our clients were The Polish Press Agency and The Ministry of Digitization on behalf of the Office of the Prime Minister of Poland.  

Actify was founded as an initiative by a health insurer in The Netherlands. Actify aims to help people live healthier lives by building healthy habits in small steps. As DO OK we work with the client on two projects: Actify Vitality Coach and the Actify Bewegen app.  

Conferences like Slush, TechCrunch or WebSummit are great opportunities to get news from the industry, share experience and discuss case studies. One of the essential parts of such events is meeting people and listening to them, but not necessarily selling.

While there is more traffic coming from mobile web browsers than native mobile apps, the problem is that website visitors rarely come back.
