Hi awesome people . I'm Aly- an amateur-Product/UX /mid-level marketer
(From the land of sheep & Middle Earth- New Zealand).
[[ Update: closest related established business is managemyhealth.co.nz]]
I'm working on a Health Tech MVP for a startup . I've been charged with building/ mocking up the MVP. I thought of adopting the mint.com roadmap feature
Website --> Content--> Test WebApp with audience--> Iterate MVP incrementally.
But the CEO wants the WebApp -site ASAP - hence advice wanted.
Basically, we are building a Health Analytics App to reduce X disease X by Y%.
Similar to the Apple iOS "My Health App" ( https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208680 ) but for a niche health area.
MVP Features:
Website (Standard)
Booking feature (Standard appointment plugin /Strikingly has this etc)
Medical Library of Health Articles (Similar to the Womens App Flo and the Figure1 Startup)- this can be done via WP CMS or Webflow?
Login/backend for users to login ,upload their health Data (Often an excel file), scans (scaled down X-rays/etc)
Eventually:
Connect to the national medical number (like Apples Medical ID) and have your medical data all on one app.
USP: We will transform their data into rich text, graphics and eventually for them to access anytime to make better health decisions regarding disease X and Habit Y. Apples My Health App (but a web app version as an MVP) is a good benchmark but with a medical library attached.
TL DR:
Need advice building an MVP for a Health Analytics App with a user backend to upload files (low size), visuals (X-ray scans files etc) and with a medical library (Content library) on the site/Web App .
Tools suggested: Softr, Wordpress with membership backend
Concierge MVP via Notion Library + Strikingly Landing page.
I'm more familiar with Elementor/Wordpress and have looked into Bubble/marvel Prototype apps.
Unsure about the backend login/user part- how do I do this? (Non techie sorry)
Apologies for the long message. Any help is much appreciated.
Hi Aly,
I would be extremely careful about using no-code tools for storing medical data. I know for a fact that in Australia, all medical data related to Australian citizens needs to be stored in Australian servers located in Australia.
So if any of those tools store the data outside of AU, then you are already in breach of the law.
So if you use some webflow plugin to store data somewhere you need to be aware of the rules and regulations regarding this kind of data.
Another thing is that as soon as you get the data you are now responsible for keeping it private. That means if there is a breach, you ll need to disclose it to the authorities.
I am sure NZ has similar rules in place. I guess what I am trying to say is be careful.
Finally about the tech stack, I think you can achieve what you want with some no code tools but you ll be better off hiring a team of professionals for a month and use that as an MVP.
Thank you for this Supernova. I'll forward this to my CEO .
Update
I should've put this in the Above Main post
Basically, in a nutshell, we want to build a much nicer UI/UX version of this but for a different Health Niche
https://www.managemyhealth.co.nz/
The above site has 1million users from 600 centres across NZ but I highly question the engagement but supposedly it has 1 million users (engagement metrics are questionable).
____Website Type Question
For the Tech crowd- what do you call a site that has membership logins for different but related users? I.e We all know the standard theres membership sites, content sites, sites with booking capabilities (plugins do that part).
E.g Normal membership sites are straight forward- create content, Tier based on price and a wordpress plugin stack and built on Wordpress CMS via Elementor etc.
****
BUT ->A website like the above - ManageMyHealth- what website type does that fall under where different but related users (patient and MD) can login to view information/data?
MVP Use cases fo each user:
I.e User 1- Patients can book appointments, have basic access to simple information
User 2 - MD- can see patients bookings and their schedule is updated accordingly.
Two separate logins but nonetheless, is this a complex membership stack that requires a developer or is their Wordpress plugins for this?
Also, I'm thinking of removing the Dr part and only focusing on the patient (For the MVP part since its the most critical assumption to validate).
Excuse my noobness but I'm a total non tech- only know basicWP, Elementor and more focused on User research, digital and market research/validation.
Theres a similar idea I'd like to ask about but I'll post about that separately
Please ,any further advice/feedback/ suggestions for the above HealthPortal Website MVP - please suggest
Once again, thank you awesome people.
@AlyThaer Hi Aly, would you be open to working with app dev agency on this?
@AlyThaer Thank you. Look forward to your response. Also, do you partner with other website agencies on referral basis.
Hi there. Thanks for the reply. I'll ask the startup CEO and get back to you.
I think I overstated the Website Scope- as thats the final version I wrote above
But a concierge MVP woud be do'able without fancy developers (we won't store any sensitive data at the beginning- we are just trying to prove the concept) before any bespoke custom development
Hello @AlyThaer π
I was passing by and just saw you request, so thought I would share some info π
Looking at the tech you suggested, I guess your plan is to heavily rely on no-code tools.
I'd avise caution here, as it seems you have some deep technical needs nonetheless (extracting data from visuals, handling uploads, generating analytics, ...) and you're manipulating user medical information (which is regulated in many countries).
I feel you should definitely look into hiring or contracting with an engineer able to solve
the technical issues you will face, but in any case, let's try to at least clear your MVP.
Based on the MVP features above, here would be my take π
Website (Standard) => Webflow
Medical Library of Health Articles => Webflow CMS (if only articles) + Disqus (if willing to add interactions from users)
Login/backend for users to login, upload their health data (Often an excel file), scans (scaled down X-rays/etc) => either build a custom app or use integrations for webflow if you wish to stay no-code
Webflow is a powerful no/low-code tool that can solve pretty much everything you need at the stage of your MVP, so I'd go with this if you really need to go no-code.
Otherwise, I'd definitely build something custom for the backend part as it feels too sensitive IMO π
Anyway, if you need further help, I run a "one-man" agency focused on helping non-tech founders and/or tech founders willing to focus on the product side.
Hope this helps π
Hey Axel- thank you so much for the useful insight. Your one-man agency is premium and as it should be- looks awesome.
(Note: (managemyhealth.co.nz - we want this but for a different health niche))
The problem with Webflow is the learning curve - we are strapped for time.
Hence I was looking at making a membership tier site on Strikingly or a Worpdress Membership site
(Checkout managemyhealth.co.nz - we literally want to do that exact but for a different sector- so the use cases are clear there in relation to the MVP).
I'm trying to find a useful way of validating the concept prior to any bespoke development or any fancy MVP development even and to avoid the now highlighted (thanks to you and awesome people above) data regulation/same country server issue. Tbh- that is a much later issue to deal with as we have to validate the concept first.
That's why the Data part I think would be best kept with the Patient as a PDF and we don't store it anywhere online to avoid the legal issues while still validating the concept and if we receive a PDF copy, we simply have a signature document noting the patients approval for this. Even within the world of data, there are low fidelity- MVP conceptual methods of making it work without servers I believe.
i.e a Concierge within legal boundaries to validate the idea.
Ive got an account- the UI is meh and basic but 1m+ users- so its a reddit sort of success.
Sorry if I'm going in circles.
