Four projects, four industries, real numbers from the case study itself.

HIPAA-compliant nurse-assisted telehealth platform with diagnostic peripheral integration

50+ clinics expand access to remote care after building a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform with FDA-approved diagnostic peripherals

A US healthcare client needed more than video calls. We built Galen, a nurse-assisted HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform where a clinic nurse operates diagnostic peripherals while a remote doctor directs via body diagram and issues e-signed prescriptions. In-person visits dropped 60%. Patient engagement increased 30%. 50+ clinics onboarded in 12 weeks.

What we build

Custom software and AI, organized by what you need.

One team covers the build, the AI, the modernization, and the growth after launch. Every link goes straight to the detail.

How we work

From problem to shipped product, four steps.

Scope agreed before we build. Milestones you see before the next payment.

  1. Week 1
    01

    Understand the problem

    We map the problem, the users, and what's already built, prototype, MVP, or nothing yet, so scope reflects reality, not a guess.

  2. Weeks 1-2
    02

    Scope the solution

    Fixed price and a milestone plan agreed before any code changes. You know the cost and the timeline going in.

  3. Weeks 3-12
    03

    Build and ship

    Production-grade software, apps, and AI, built and tested in milestones you see before the next payment.

  4. Ongoing
    04

    Improve after launch

    We stay on for growth marketing, new features, and the fixes real users surface after launch.

Fit check

Most RaftLabs engagements start around $10,000. Here's who that fits.

Everything on the left should be true for you. Even one thing on the right, and we're probably not the fit you need.

A fit
01

You've got a real problem, one that's already costing you time or money.

02

You've got at least $10,000 set aside, committed to spending it on the fix.

03

You want to start within the next six months.

Not a fit
  • You're after a $100 template or a weekend script, not real engineering.
  • You haven't set aside a budget for this yet.
  • You're not planning to start anytime soon.

Straight answers

Common questions

Custom software development starts at around $10,000 for an MVP with 1–2 core features and scales to $20,000–$40,000 for full-featured products. Enterprise platforms and complex AI systems are quoted based on scope. We agree on scope and cost before development starts. No surprises.
Most clients start within a week. If you arrive with a prototype or MVP, we begin with a technical audit, then a production-grade MVP typically ships in about 10 to 14 weeks. Complex platforms can run longer. You see progress at every milestone before the next payment.
We've worked across healthcare, hospitality, fintech, logistics, retail, loyalty programs, and media. Each has different rules and user expectations. We adapt to those rather than applying a generic template.
We build in milestones. If a direction isn't working, we raise it before the next phase starts, not after months of work. You're never locked in past the current milestone. We'd rather lose a project than waste your budget on the wrong thing.
Most agencies take a brief and write code. RaftLabs takes what you've already built, a prototype or an MVP, keeps what's validated, rebuilds what won't scale, ships it production-grade, then runs the growth marketing to take it to market. One accountable team, from what you built to a growing customer base. We're not a code shop.
Both. RaftLabs is one partner from prototype to production to growth. Alongside custom software and AI, our in-house growth team handles positioning, SEO, AI search visibility, content, and paid campaigns, so your product reaches launch with momentum instead of a blank slate. Most agencies stop at launch. We stay on until you have real customers, not just a live product.
Yes. Most clients are non-technical. We explain tradeoffs in business terms, not engineering jargon, and handle all technical decisions. You focus on outcomes.
Yes. It's one of the most common ways clients arrive. We audit what's there, keep the UX and scope you already validated, and rebuild the backend, auth, data model, and tests it needs to survive real users. A production-grade version typically ships in 10 to 14 weeks.
Yes. We embed alongside an in-house team as a dedicated unit, or hand off a completed build with full code ownership and documentation, no vendor lock-in. Which model fits depends on whether you're short on hands or short on a specific skill set.
