Working prototype or MVP
An iPhone or iPad build of the selected workflow.
MedTech + commercial app development
Mobile app development with 25 years of MedTech experience.
JonWard Studios develops working prototypes and minimum viable products (MVPs) for MedTech and commercial teams. Current builds are delivered for iPhone and iPad. MedTech projects can include a regulatory baseline, design and development file, usability engineering file, testing, and source-code handoff.
A prototype puts the primary app workflow on a device for testing, review, demonstrations, or investor meetings. An MVP includes the essential features needed for customer or beta use.

Two types of work
MedTech apps.
Commercial apps.
Both start with a defined user and workflow. Both include working software, testing, a design and development file, and a usability engineering file. MedTech work also includes a regulatory baseline and follows applicable FDA guidance and relevant ISO 13485 design and development requirements.
Design and development file
Requirements, architecture, risks, traceability, testing, and release records.
Usability engineering file
Intended users, use environment, workflow, and completed usability work.
Source code and handoff
Source repository and project files for the completed build.
Prototype and MVP work
Choose the build.
A prototype is a simpler design and build centered on the primary app workflow. An MVP includes the essential features needed for customer or beta use. Both are tested and documented.
Records by project type
Every project includes a design and development file. Its contents reflect the product, intended use, and agreed build scope.

Why JonWard Studios
Medical-device experience.
Practical app development.
JonWard Studios is led by Jon Ward, whose 25-year career has included work with more than 700 medical-device manufacturers and product teams and oversight of more than 150 successful FDA 510(k) submissions.
The studio applies that FDA, quality, and SaMD perspective to MedTech and commercial mobile app development. The work combines a working application with the records needed to evaluate the concept and main app workflow before further investment.
