Our process
Quick, intuitive UX
It's at the heart of what we do. Everything stems from unmet end-user needs; articulating and meeting these needs is an important measure of our success. Our team optimises app design, creation and delivery using quick and iterative agile project management, with a strong focus on repeated end-user testing, whether with patients or clinicians, or both.
Agile and responsive
Using an agile development methodology, we follow creative solution brainstorming with continuous build releases, integrating all-stakeholder feedback into every iteration, thus allowing innovative concepts to evolve into measurably successful applications. Central to our app development process is the ongoing governance, review and revision programme that is at the heart of safety and compliance in a healthcare setting.
Compliance
Ensuring our apps are safe, secure, reliable and compliant is a key focus of our work. In addition to our app governance structure we undertake a broad spectrum of review, testing, documentation and independent assessment to ensure our apps comply with best practice standards and protocols. We have significant experience working with NHS teams to complete appropriate audits and supply the relevant document as required.
We adhere to NHS app development protocols which require continual review, assessment and documentation. Imagineear Health works closely with NHS Digital on the assessment and approval process required to submit our apps for inclusion to NHS Digital Apps Library.
