PowerApps use case #1. Patient satisfaction:
Imperium dynamics realized the need of a solution to improve the feedback between health providers and their patients.
That’s how we came up with the patient satisfaction solution.

Results can be viewed in real-time via dashboards.
This can be used to improve medical facilities and overall satisfaction.
Best thing is it can be integrated with health provider’s existing database, whether it’s dataverse, SQL or any other DB.

It’s extremely important that operations at factory, mining, construction sites and other such work places follow the safety protocols and procedures to stop and protect from any hazard that could happen in difficult work environments where labor, engineer and other human resource work with heavy machinery and hazardous raw materials.
