Healthcare products that people trust. In the clinic, on the ward, or at home

Technology is helping create new opportunities for levels of insights and care for patients, both in and out of traditional settings

Increasingly we all want to understand our own conditions, and proactively manage them day to day, with support available without waiting on the phone. Clinicians need tools that save time and generate new levels of insights without introducing friction or time consuimg processes.

We’ve produced bespoke software across iOS, Android and the web, designed around sensitive data, accessibility and the realities of care. We helped OpenAir Med turn a portable lung-function device into personalised early warnings for respiratory patients. We built Nursdoc a platform that validates healthcare staffing timesheets and automates case handling, and we’ve created owner-facing animal health tools for Elanco.

Whatever health or MedTech opportunity you’re pursuing, we’re here to help you find the right product to meet your clinical and business objectives, and then design, build and grow your product.

CASE STUDY | HEALTHCARE

Giving patients the freedom to live without fear.

OpenAir Med needed a product that could empower patients with respiratory conditions to manage their health independently, reducing their reliance on clinical intervention while keeping them safe. We built a connected platform that put the right information in the right hands at the right moment.

— Build the Right Product

Clients we’ve helped build healthcare & MedTech apps

Healthcare asks more of a product than almost any other sector. Our work here ranges from connecting a portable lung-function device to an app that gives respiratory patients early warning of an episode, to automating the timesheet and compliance workflows behind a healthcare staffing business. Across all of it, we’ve built products for patients, clinicians and the operations teams that support them.

The complexity is real: special-category data, accessibility needs, clinicians with no time to spare, and regulation that decides what a product can and can’t do. That’s why we deal with those questions in discovery rather than leaving them until late in the build. We know where a health brief usually gets difficult, and we plan for it from the start so it doesn’t slow delivery.

Healthcare App Use Cases

From MedTech start-ups to healthcare providers and staffing businesses; apps, AI and web platforms empower users to have more control over their own data and decisions that improve their every day life.

Connected medical device apps

Allowing for real time visibility of readings from medical devices, or control and configuration of settings for physical devices we help our clients elevate user experience and quality of data collection through building iOS and Android apps that pair with medical devices. Turning readings into clear, personal guidance and export data for clinicians.

Patient portals

With patient expectation set by everyday consumer experience the expectation is to book, check in, message or discover details without waiting in a call queue on the phone.

Patient apps and portals help elevate medical experience whilst alleviating pressure from reception and clinical teams who are then freed up for higher value tasks.

Rehabilitation and self-management apps

Recovery happens predominately at home and there is often a longer gap than might be desired between appointments. With high emotion states its easy to forget key details or let the odd appointment slip which can impact recovery and effect the quality of data passed back to physicians.

Guided in-app programmes with exercises, reminders progress tracking that clinicians can review, whilst keeping sensitive rehab private to the patient

Remote patient monitoring

Health services are increasingly moving outside of traditional environments such as hospitals and surgeries, however they still need reliable data from patients at home and human recollection can change over time.

Monitoring apps and clinician dashboards can help collect symptoms, record readings and provide questionnaires helping empower clinicians to provide great care levels for patients who need attention.

AI for clinical and admin workload

For clinicians and back-office teams administration is a reality of life, however with such a large amount of time spent on admin costs can spiral of focus can slip from where it’s needed.

AI tools for triage support, document summarisation and administration automation helps lift the burden, whilst human in the loop reviews ensure risks are mitigated.

Healthcare workforce and compliance tools

Carers, managers, staffing businesses and providers lose hours to manual processes such as timesheets, checks and chasing paperwork.

Digital platforms that validate submissions before they’re processed and raise cases automatically give operations teams real time results without the additional costs.

eLearning platforms

When new medicines or procedures are introduced pharmaceutical companies have to ensure that their customers keep up with mandatory training, procedures and product updates.

eLearning tools help deliver interactive modules and track completion and certification. All whilst giving managers a live, automated view of who is compliant or due additional training.

Mental health & remote consultations

Demand for mental health support and remote appointments has outgrown what clinics and historic infrastructure can support.

Apps including features such as journaling, video and messaging consultations, appointment booking, self-help tools, guided programmes and check-ins help provide care to those that might previously have been unable to access it. Safeguarding and escalation routes are designed in from the start, so a patient who needs urgent help reaches a person quickly.

How We Work in Healthcare

Healthcare products demand rigour at every stage, from the first user research session to the last compliance review. Here’s how we approach it.

Understand first

Patient and clinician needs are rarely the same, and both matter.

Healthcare products often serve multiple user groups with fundamentally different needs, priorities, and levels of digital confidence. Our discovery process maps those groups separately, understanding the clinical context, operational constraints, and patient experience before a single design decision is made.

Understand first

Design for everyone

Accessibility isn’t optional in healthcare.

Healthcare product design has to work for users across a wide spectrum of ages, abilities, and digital literacy. We design to exacting standards as a baseline, with additional consideration for the specific populations your product serves. An interface that works beautifully for a 30-year-old and fails a 70-year-old hasn’t done its job.

Design for everyone

Build securely

Healthcare data requires the highest standards of security and compliance.

Patient data is among the most sensitive information a digital product can handle. We build healthcare products with data security, GDPR compliance, and clinical governance requirements built in from the architecture stage. As the healthcare regulatory landscape evolves, we adapt.

Build securely

Support and improve

Healthcare products need to keep working every single day.

A healthcare product that goes down, degrades, or falls behind platform updates isn’t just an inconvenience; it can have real consequences for the people depending on it. We provide the structured support and maintenance programmes that keep healthcare products performing reliably, with the monitoring and response times the sector demands.
