A top healthcare startup based in New York, USA with a mission to make clinical research accessible to all by improving transparency and diversity in clinical trials. approached Metric Tree Labs for its MVP development in 2018. At that point in time, the startup was an idea-stage company and the founders were trying to launch a prototype to test their hypothesis in the market.
The consultants at Metric Tree Labs sat down with the founders and got involved from day one starting from the User Experience Design Phase to the launch of a Minimum Viable Product in under 3 months.

The system now handles and processes millions of healthcare data records every day, deployed across thousands of hospitals and clinics across the US. The system now handles a lot of advanced use cases and also involves a data engineering and data science team working on large amounts of data volume.
