Strategy
Uncovering the right strategy is paramount to defining the strongest MVP or new technology initiative. thoughtbot leads engaging exercises to generate ideas, collect requirements, and drive alignment. Connecting with target audiences and stakeholders establishes the foundation of our strategy. In a few weeks, we bring all the elements together delivering a validated, user-first roadmap that prioritizes the right features and minimizes risks.
Design
The most effective experiences are backed by thoughtful, user-first design. Keeping a pulse on the target audience’s needs, challenges, and motivations, we successfully translate those findings into UI/UX and interactions outside the product itself, helping to craft the most impactful experience. Our design approach ensures deep adoption, and the close collaboration with development keeps in mind business requirements and compliance standards throughout.
Development
Health Tech is a highly impactful, but also sensitive industry. Compliance and security regulations, set standards to keep patient and provider workflows and data secure. Having navigated numerous integrations, and requirement standards, thoughtbot development efforts deliver a top-quality, scalable, and secure foundation that can continue to evolve. thoughtbot can lead greenfield builds or ramp up on an existing product confidently.
thoughtbot didn't bring any preconceptions or misconceptions to the table. They were really good at listening and understanding the project. We worked together to identify the problems. After that, they let our end-users dictate the direction of the project, which was really powerful.
