Innovative UI and Application Design for SaaS and Mobile in Health Care & Biotech

Catalyst Resources combines over 15 years of mission-critical software application and user interface design expertise with specialized knowledge in biotech and health care. We design innovative and intuitive application and instrument control user interfaces to support in-the-field clinical assessment, increased patient safety, and enhanced business efficiency. Applications include medical imaging and collaboration, electronic medical records, medical informatics, administrative management, patient portals, pharmaceuticals and biomedical instrument control.

Catalyst is highly experienced with the complete application design process, from a comprehensive and strategic evaluation of the organizations’ goals, requirements, and users, to putting a multi-disciplinary team in place, to setting up a series of on-going user validation sessions, to systematically defining and designing all aspects of the application in terms of everything that the user experiences - what they see, what they do, what information they can access.

Faster time-to-market and higher ROI with modular, reusable UI

We build all applications as libraries of modular, reusable panels, tools and components. These libraries can save health care IT development teams up to 85% in application front-end development cycles and make it easier to adapt to rapidly changing market and regulatory conditions. The added benefits include increased consistency of function across applications, a standardized look, easier adherence to regulatory compliance standards and reduced QA time.

On-premise and cloud-computing for desktop, web and mobile

Our innovative user interfaces and application designs can be stand alone or fit into existing workflows and systems. Designs are modular, scalable, reliable, and secure . They can be delivered using desktop or mobile applications, locally or over the internet as Software as a Service (SaaS). In addition to traditional mouse and keyboard systems, we also design applications optimized for touch screens and mobile devices. We have developed applications to facilitate collaboration as well as secure, rapid, anytime, anywhere access to personal data, images, documents and reports.

High-performance UI to speed efficiency and communication

The increasing trend in health care towards continuous monitoring and real-time data access, reporting and sharing, necessitates clear and high-performance user interfaces. Catalyst Resources is a leader in the design and development of modular, high-performance, rich interfaces using Adobe Flex, Java, Microsoft Silverlight and WPF as well as AJAX/HTML 5, iPhone, Android and Adobe AIR

Workflow automation and instrument control

A key area of our practice in biotech is the design of instrument control interfaces such as diagnostic systems for analyzing tissue sample pathologies and drug discovery. The user interface acts as the link between the operator and decisions that affect critical infrastructure or services. When designed effectively, these interfaces reduce risk and increase workflow efficiency and automation.
