Custom application development is not a small investment by any means, so medtech companies engaging these services will naturally want to understand their return on investment. When the application is the primary component of what you are selling, then it is easier to figure out if you are getting a return on investment based on […]
Application Development Basics & Best Practices
These are foundational pieces to help explain the basics and best practices around application development for medtech.
Why Polished Interfaces Matter in Medtech
Doctors don’t need polished interfaces. This is something one of our team members heard in a meeting recently. While we’re willing to hear differing opinions on how to approach application and website development, this is one statement that we simply don’t agree with. We discussed this topic at length on an episode of The Health […]
Software Architecture to Allow for More Rapid Releases

This is especially true for software that is considered part of your device by FDA standards (for example, software that is necessary to complete a procedure). This type of software […]

With new cyberthreats happening everyday, a vigilant approach to security is a necessary part of any project. Security is part of every layer of the development process, including the following: Since vulnerabilities can occur in every layer, it’s important to test in each of those areas as well. Covering the basics It’s important to note […]
From Product Experience Stats to Satisfaction: Optimize for Retention

If your products aren’t living up to a high standard, then physicians and hospitals may need to take their business elsewhere. If you’re working with patients / consumers, your job isn’t […]
Automation Essentials
A development pipeline automates your testing process and gives your app the best opportunity to deploy successfully. There are simply some tasks that are better for computers to do. Humans are fallible and can take longer to accomplish rudimentary tasks. Besides, if you could set up your testing process once upfront, wouldn’t you want to […]
