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.
