12 Items for a Successful Healthcare App Brief

Digital Healthcare Agency, Integrated Change, has launched a free 12 step guide to writing a mobile app brief for the healthcare industry. The 21 page document is intended to guide healthcare organisations considering developing a mobile application through the often under-valued step of writing the initial brief.

Integrated Change Development Director, Scott Hague, comments: "Developing a mobile application and be a complex task and it's often a significant investment. If the foundations aren't correctly set from the beginning, the process can prove unnecessarily costly and time consuming. All too often, healthcare organisations forget some of the fundamentals in the planning stages of developing a healthcare app and its these omissions that can turn up later in the process and cause problems."

Scott adds, "Healthcare organisations can save time and money when developing an app by creating a solid brief that every stakeholder can contribute to and shape."
