View commercial workServices
Digital Health Demo: explain and obtain a decision on a proposed product through a guided interactive browser experience.
Prototype: evaluate the primary workflow on a device.
Minimum viable product (MVP): give selected users the essential application functions for beta use or a human factors study.
Begin with the decision the team needs to make now.
Turn a client-defined patient, clinician, administrative, or commercial workflow into a branded interactive browser experience.
A prototype completes stages 01–03. An MVP continues through stages 04–06.
Use the primary workflow for review, testing, demonstrations, or an early product decision.
Executable app, source code, design and development file, applicable test evidence, customer acceptance, and transfer instructions.
Complete the essential features, data behavior, testing, and records needed for beta use or a human factors study.
MVP for beta use or a human factors study, source code, design and development file, verification and usability evidence, release record, customer acceptance, and transfer instructions.
