Summary
Q&A / Open Discussion


Part 01
Why Mobile Platforms? Why now?


Why Mobile Platforms? Why Now?

Touch device statistics indicate:

Physicians are
early adopters.



Touch device statistics indicate:

The healthcare
industry is enthusiastic.


Physicians are Early Adopters

10% of 3m iPads in the U.S sold to physicians.
18% of physicians in the US using iPads.

9% of adult Americans using mhealth apps today.
14% of adult Americans will use them by 2011.


iPad Adoption by industry: healthcare is in top 3


The Healthcare Industry is Enthusiastic

60% of healthcare enterprises using smartphones health apps.

By 2014: Enterprise mhealth expected to be a
$1.7 billion market.

By 2015: 500m people are expected to use mhealth
smartphone applications worldwide.



Movement from early

Regulatory Challenges
For mobile mhealth apps,
regulatory environment is unclear,
involving both the FDA & FCC.

Some apps might need approval as if they were devices, from both the FDA & the FCC.


Part 05
Product Development:
A UX-driven process



Quick point to consider

Mobile version !=
Porting existing software



UX driven development

Planning the product
around empowering
the user



Main output:

Detailed planning of the
system UI.
We call this Schematics.



Schematics align teams
around visible, tangible
functionality.


Schematics (example)



Process overview:



Concept to Product
UX driven process

This process is straightforward, practical.



Research
- Existing product + technology research
- User research (shadowing, documenting)
- Identifying business & ecosystem opportunities
(continues)



Planning, Designing
- Ideation - concept development
- Defining project scope
- Paper prototyping
- Schematic design
- Validation / prototyping cycles
- Visual design + development kickstart
(in parallel)


Part 06
New Products:
Rapid Prototyping


New Products: Rapid Prototyping

In a relatively small period of time

A small group can
plan, design & build a
mockup/prototype that
has tremendous impact.


New Products: Rapid Prototyping

A mockup makes
theory tangible.
Can persuade internally
Clarify product needs
A strong marketing tool
