The brief

Why it matters

Alive Inc. develops custom healthcare software solutions for hospitals, clinics, diagnostic businesses, healthcare startups, wellness organizations and healthcare service providers. From patient engagement and appointment management to provider workflows, portals, telemedicine, reporting and integrations, we create software around the operational requirements of healthcare businesses.

Healthcare systems handle sensitive information and may be subject to sector-specific laws, regulations and contractual requirements. Platform architecture and workflows should therefore be designed with the applicable privacy, security and regulatory requirements of the operating market in mind.

  • Patients
  • Staff
  • Reports
  • Location-specific configurations

Centralized administration can provide organization-wide visibility while maintaining appropriate access boundaries.

Custom Healthcare Software vs Off-the-Shelf Software

  • Workflows — Custom: built around your operations; Off-the-shelf: predefined workflows
  • Integrations — Custom: custom integration possible; Off-the-shelf: depends on vendor support
  • User experience — Custom: custom-designed; Off-the-shelf: standardized
  • Data model — Custom: designed for project requirements; Off-the-shelf: vendor-defined
  • Automation — Custom: business-specific; Off-the-shelf: available features only
  • Scalability — Custom: planned for expected usage; Off-the-shelf: depends on vendor
  • Future expansion — Custom: flexible; Off-the-shelf: depends on product roadmap

Custom development can be valuable when healthcare organizations have specialized workflows or need to connect multiple existing systems.
