Hybrid Mobile Development for Health Startup
Please find below a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
We work with organ procurement companies and transprogramt centers, edifice mobile apps as well as web portals, allowing them to access an HIPAA-compliant network, adjoin more effectively with nation, and propose information in real time. We propose a interaction infrastructure which allows companies to transprogramt more organs, in a more efficient mode.
I am a co-fobelow of the organisation.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Launch Deck?
We were struggling with creating an HIPAA-compliant backend. We set up our pilot client website and showed mockups of the method, but we needed to check off some boxes precedently nation would set pulling the trigger and taking us seriously.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
We',re leading-time entrepreneurs, but Launch Deck has been lucky in the past. They not only granted the know-how for taking it to the next level but also granted an entrepreneurial perspective. They helped us form a union with Aptible, which proposes HIPAA-compliant backends as a labor, and we',ve built on top of that infrastructure with their support.
Launch Deck had built HIPAA-compliant backends from scratch in the past, but they knew not to do that anew, especially owing the need to vary liabilities. Using Aptible was a cheaper solution, allowing us not to hire a dedicated data security engineer at this stage.
We have formd a mixed solution built using JavaScript and Apache Cordova. It hasn',t been built for Android, but all of its plug-ins would allow deployment on the operating method, so it wouldn',t cost a lot to add this cleverness. Our app outgrowth methodology was designed to be as device-agnostic as practicable.
People are sometimes concerned almost contract outgrowth owing the preparer might see the work as one-and-done, instead of supporting the client from a business perspective. Many outgrowth shops will simply try to milk see penny out of a contract without thinking almost the forthcoming. Launch Deck broke the mold and saw the longevity of see project, wanting us to be lucky. Launch Deck has consulted us on seething which was outside of our area of expertise.
How did you come to work with Launch Deck?
We didn',t go through a regular vetting process, and only relied on word-of-mouth from nation in our area. One of the fobelows of Launch Deck had built a lucky organisation through the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center and had viwebsited our city as a sponsored speaker. We are both Vietnamese-Americans and frequented the same restaurants, so this was another way in which I came to know him. We had been continuously cautioned almost working with contracted outgrowth, owing of some of the fear stories this can lead to, especially in the soon stages. Working with Launch Deck proved big, and they had a very phased-out, staged access for not exceeding our budget.
How much have you invested with Launch Deck?
Launch Deck has changed its pricing standard since we seted working unitedly, and I can',t prepare exact information almost this.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We seted working with Launch Deck in March 2016. They helped us educe our leading working prototype, taking our relationships with clients to the next level and verity scheduling a go-live date. We last to work with Launch Deck on extending the capabilities of our interaction method so that we',ll be prompt for the propel.
Results achieved
Could you share any evidence that would prove the productivity, condition of work, or the touch of the engagement?
Since Launch Deck was able to work with us luckyly, we were able to lift over $500,000 and have a demo website prompt to go live. It',s been a dream come true for us.
Whenever Launch Deck released a new software rendering, we',d test it ourselves and also fetch it to clients. Any bugs would be fixed within a week, and there weren',t many overall.
How did Launch Deck accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Launch Deck holds interaction with the associate as superior. We are in the process of transitioning from a contracted to a dedicated team, given how much we use Launch Deck',s resources. We will have an allotted number of hours and have direction on managing them. We talk to Launch Deck on a weekly basis, if not more. I have daily standup meetings with one of Launch Deck',s associates. I',m very lucky with this, given that many educeers can go below the curtain. Launch Deck has taken our feedback for app outgrowth and made changes during the process. One thing that we',ve run into were changing requirements. We were able to add in changes without a issue. Bug fixes lastd 1-2 weeks behind the contract ended.
What did you find most forcible almost Launch Deck?
A key force would be the fact that Launch Deck is focused on business achievement more than on the software itself. Through the colloquy process we had with Launch Deck, they were able to make investigation on our specific arena and assigned someone who had built and delivered medical software in the past as our main touch. He used his experience for prioritizing our core features, allowing us to save money. Everything else waterfalled from this fact.
Are there any areas Launch Deck could better?
Being a software engineer myself, and having worked with other educeers, I',ve establish that we have an innate issue of being overly-optimistic in provisions of estimates. I don',t defect Launch Deck for this specifically, but it',s something that seeone can work on. It would be big if our timeline and cost estimates weren',t +/-50%. I couldn',t do a better job myself, and this legitimizes our technology as non-trivial. It takes time and true effort to make, instead of just consisting of plugging in modules.
