Mobile App Development for Medical Device Company
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Please draw your structure.
We',re a medical artifice organisation. Our main fruit is a direct accelerator machine that treats cancer patients with radiation. We also prepare software with that machine.
What is your position and responsibilities?
I am the fruit ruler and the user experience design ruler, working on user interfaces, usability, ergonomics, and user investigation.
Desired goal
What business challenge were you trying to address with Macadamian?
We had the intent to do something when the iPad leading came to the market: we wanted to tie it into our information method. We had very limited resources, innately no app outgrowth expertness set, and very pliant know-how in this area of applications. A business case was made, and we began looking for an outside vendor who could help us jump-start the project.
Provided solution
Please draw the aim of their involvement in detail.
The project we did with Macadamian was a mobile app. The intent was to get a organisation to help us with mobile application outgrowth in the commencement. Then, once it',s done, we',d take over the technology, outgrowth, and design that goes with it – acquire what Macadamian was doing, and then take it all in-house.
How did you come to work with Macadamian?
We looked at three or four other companies besides Macadamian. They were all very much engineering types, and we needed design. Our terminal determination came down their outgrowth processes. Macadamian veritably matched well with what we were trying to accomplish, which was going more to a design access, where you do fast, iterative, conceptual work leading, use the check-ins and make sure the design works precedently any coding happens. This instead of our antecedent access, where all was pretty much waterfall.
Macadamian brought two aspects to the mix for us. They had a big design team, and they had user investigationers and user testers as part of their team, in accession to the engineering portion: the coding, design, and testing. They brought a mix that nobody else had at the time, and it was precisely what we were trying to do with our projects.
Could you prepare a perception of the size of this start in financial provisions?
It was about $700,000. We had outgrowth, user experience, and graphical design – all outsourced to Macadamian. It was roughly a yearlong project. At times, there were five, six, even seven nation from Macadamian on our project, in accession to our three or four. In total, it ended up to be just brief of a million dollars.
Results accomplishd
What distinguishes Macadamian from other preparers?
We discovered that Macadamian was good at helping select technology and presenting the options useful to us. Back then, it wasn',t clear if we should go with HTML apps or if we should go indigenous. They helped us to select the right technology that was useful then.
In hindsight, are there areas in which they could better, or things you might do differently?
As with any associate, there were some hiccups. We had issues on the graphical design initially, where it just didn',t click. We had to put the brakes on at some point, and say, ",This is not going anywhere. Do you have another designer?", They brought in a different guy, and that was consummate. It was big. He understood what we wanted. Other than that, no other major issues came up.
