Today’s abundance of healthcare startups is building powerful, effective products faster than ever. They’re building these products at a record pace without sacrificing even an ounce of quality, according to subject matter expert and Zealthy founder Kyle Robertson. Zealthy is a market-leading virtual healthcare provider headquartered in Florida.
So, how are today’s pioneering healthcare startups building breakthrough products quickly while maintaining such stringent, all-important quality standards? Robertson says it’s all thanks in no small part to advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics, and more.
Balancing Speed and Quality
The most successful healthcare startups perfectly balance their speed of output and product quality. According to Kyle Robertson, the secret lies in combining a series of breakthrough and burgeoning technologies, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics, and augmented and virtual reality.
Artificial intelligence, particularly when combined with machine learning, is fundamental to rapid prototyping and development. Together, AI and machine learning allow companies like Zealthy and other online healthcare providers to rapidly prototype and test new products while reducing human error, freeing up time to focus on innovation.
The two technologies are invaluable in sifting through massive datasets and analyzing genetic, environmental, and other figures. Elsewhere, AI is unmatched in automating other repetitive tasks like clinical trial data processing, allowing today’s brightest healthcare startups to balance speed and quality in previously impossible ways.
Efficiency and Scalability
With speed and quality accounted for, healthcare startups looking to build products quickly must also ensure efficiency and scalability if they’re to succeed, Zealthy founder Robertson explains. Cloud-based computing platforms remain fundamental, used to rapidly, safely, and securely analyze, process, and store vast quantities of data.
The result is scalability without needing extensive physical infrastructure, as has been the case in the past. Remote monitoring and cloud-based telemedicine solutions further ensure the power to scale reliably and lightning-fast.
The same technology also allows startups and more established healthcare providers to deploy rapidly without geographical constraints, ensuring continued future efficiency and scalability.
Analytics and Agile Development
Successful new healthcare products must meet a new or existing demand. Startups can use clever data analytics to identify gaps in the market where existing demand or new demand is likely to form soon.
Kyle Robertson, who is also the founder and managing partner of Revolution Venture Studios, believes this data-driven approach ensures products address real-world needs, improving relevance and increasing the likelihood of traction immediately out of the gate. Meanwhile, agile development lies at the heart of Zealthy’s success.
Coupled with continuous testing, agile methodologies allow companies like the pioneering Miami-based virtual care provider to iterate quickly on product design. By incorporating user feedback at every stage, iterative approaches ensure rapid development cycles and frequent updates without compromising quality.
Other Areas to Explore
Today’s emerging healthcare startups have myriad technologies, methodologies, and more at their disposal. Correctly and effectively capitalizing on these technologies and processes is paramount. The same is true of forecasting upcoming opportunities to deliver future products quickly and without sacrificing quality to help steal a march on the competition.
Other areas to explore, highlighted by Zealthy founder Robertson, include regulatory compliance through digital solutions, internet-connected real-time health monitoring, and blockchain for data security and transparency. Companies must also remain laser-focused on human-centered design and user experience – a primary ongoing focus for Zealthy and its team.
