Client's Testimonial

Developers.dev was the perfect partner to bring my vision to life. Their Codeigniter MVP pod got us a functional, secure product in just 12 weeks. Their guidance on technology choices and their understanding of HIPAA was invaluable. We wouldn't have secured our seed funding without the incredible product they built.

Jessica Albright, Founder & CEO

Client Overview

A startup founder in the US with deep domain expertise in hospital administration but limited technical resources. The vision was to create a SaaS platform to help small to mid-sized clinics manage patient appointments, records, and billing in a HIPAA-compliant manner.

Problem

The founder needed to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) quickly to demonstrate to investors and early customers. The platform had to be secure, easy to use, and, above all, HIPAA compliant, all on a tight startup budget.

Key Challenges

Rapid MVP Development

Building a fully functional product on an accelerated timeline (under 3 months).

HIPAA Compliance

Ensuring strict HIPAA compliance from the initial architectural design.

Intuitive UI/UX

Creating an intuitive user interface for non-technical clinical staff.

Cost-Effective Development

Keeping development costs low without sacrificing quality or security.

Our Solution

We deployed our "Mobile App MVP Launch Kit" POD, utilizing Codeigniter for its speed of development and small footprint.

Product Discovery Workshop

We started with an intensive workshop to refine the feature set for the MVP, focusing on the core user journey.

HIPAA-Compliant Architecture

We designed the system with security at the forefront, including database encryption, strict access controls, and audit trails.

Agile Development

Using a Scrum framework, we delivered working software every two weeks, allowing the founder to provide continuous feedback.

User-Centric Design

Our UI/UX experts created a clean, simple interface that required minimal training for clinic staff.

Implementation and Execution

Codeigniter Backend

Codeigniter was chosen for the backend API for its speed and stability.

Lightweight Frontend

A lightweight JavaScript framework was used for the frontend to ensure a responsive user experience.

Secure Cloud Environment

All development was done in a secure, cloud-based environment (AWS).

End-to-End Encryption

We implemented end-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest.

Continuous Alignment

Regular status updates and demos kept the founder fully aligned with the project's progress.

On-Time Delivery

The MVP was delivered on time and on budget, ready for investor demos.

Positive Outcome

Successful Seed Funding

The high-quality MVP was instrumental in helping the client secure $1.5M in seed funding.

Acquired First 20 Customers

The platform was so intuitive that the first 20 clinics were onboarded within two months of launch.

Fast Time-to-Market

A fully functional, compliant MVP was delivered in just 12 weeks.

Scalable Foundation

The initial architecture was designed to scale, and the client has since retained our POD model to add new features and grow the platform.
