A few years ago, Andrey met his future girlfriend; she was a nurse, and he was a product manager. Out of all the things they had in common, one shaped their relationship more than anything else: an irregular work schedule.
As she rotated between day and night shifts, Andrey (based in Europe) stretched his working hours between San Francisco and New Zealand time zones. They felt like zombies: sleep-deprived, depressed, no energy. And their story isn’t unique: 1 in 5 employed people work nights!
So, Andrey created inShift, an app that tracks work schedules and sleep to provide optimized routines that help the body naturally adjust between shifts. The app relies on hundreds of formulas to process inputs to predict the user's Circadian Rhythm and deliver personalized recommendations in six areas: sleep, light exposure, caffeine, food, exercise, and body temperature control. And he built the whole MVP in Coda, without a line of code. inShift analyzes user inputs, like logged work schedule, sleep data with the Oura Ring Pack, and personal chores with the Google Calendar Pack. With the help of Philips Hue Pack, it automagically adjusts indoor light scenes to align with users' biological needs and wake-up times. Andrey's dedication and creative use of Packs not only changed his own life, but also touched the lives of countless others, leaving a lasting legacy of improved well-being and a brighter future for all shift workers. |
