R&D

R&D teams for medtech companies are tasked with innovating to create the right tools for their custom applications and surgical dashboards, and also with ensuring that future iterations of the application continue to provide value for key user groups. When it comes to getting the work done, each option provides benefits and drawbacks, and it’s up to you to pick the best solution: build the application or dashboard in-house, select an off-the-shelf solution, or work with a third-party development team.

In these blog posts, we share tips based on our experience as a development firm who works with medtech companies to build custom applications, as well as our experience in using off-the-shelf solutions and in-house development for our own business needs.

Effective development teams use a set of best practices that are almost unnoticeable, but they can make all the difference. One of those best practices is documentation. When teams prioritize documenting along the way, they save time, money, and grief down the road. This is even more important in a regulated industry like medtech. In […]

When Your MVP Misses the Mark

August 23, 2022

How do you know when a minimum viable product is too minimal, and what can you do about it?  This comes up a lot during custom application projects, and we have found it helpful to review what an MVP is, how to develop it, and how to use it to set up your project for […]

Previously we addressed the sunk cost fallacy for marcom and business teams: the decision to keep an application that doesn’t work, or walk away and start over. This can be one of the more challenging decisions for leaders because, on one hand you’ve spent money to have something developed, but on the other hand, the […]
