Who we help
Product leaders
Validate & deliver products people want to use
We help you design digital health product experiences, and test risky assumptions, through our validated human-centered co-design process. We recruit real patients to test health product concepts or new features and transform their feedback into an actionable plan you can deliver to your product team and your leadership. As a result you can confidently move faster, maximize investment ROI, and optimize patient outcomes.
Technology leaders
Scale & enhance your software delivery team
We embed with your team to seamlessly deliver quality custom software by working with your product owners to translate their vision so it’s ready for implementation. Our experienced product team provides recommendations for software design, technology stack, and solution architecture to meet your innovation objectives while satisfying the privacy and security standards of IT stakeholders.
Researchers
Take digital health studies from concept to conclusion
We're your turnkey technology and design partner from concept, to study, to patient care. We start by crystallizing your concept, budget, and timeline (and support your grant application!). We guide you through a user-centered co-design process to maximize engagement and adherence to your mHealth app. Along the way, we help you navigate your institution's privacy and IT department requirements ensuring your study's success.
How we work
Design
Advancing your product requires confidence in your roadmap and strategy.
We leverage a data-driven design approach where user needs and business objectives inform user experience, visual, and technical design.
Validate
To achieve successful outcomes, your concepts and designs need to be informed by actual users.
We're experts in user-centered design and our team will convert user feedback into an actionable plan for execution.
Build
To drive the greatest efficiencies, your implementation team should be fully integrated with design and validation teams.
Our team of skilled engineers develop software for the web, on Apple or Android devices independently or as key players in a larger team.
