Case Study: Team Gleason achieves reliable tracking of life‑sustaining AAC devices and saves time with Asset Panda

Asset Tracking For Life-Sustaining Technology For ALS Patients

Team Gleason, founded by former NFL player Steve Gleason after his ALS diagnosis, helps people with neuromuscular diseases access life-sustaining technology such as AAC devices that enable breathing, communication and independence. These high-cost, mobile assets are critical to patient care, but Team Gleason was relying on an often-outdated spreadsheet to track equipment location, maintenance and repairs—leaving staff unable to ensure devices were available and in working order across the country.

Implementing Asset Panda gave the team a customizable asset-management system with tailored reports to monitor copays, equipment spending and inventory status. The solution eliminated duplicate purchases, improved visibility into device location and condition, and saved staff hours each day—allowing faster support for patients, better budget control and more reliable, timely care.
