User-experience and software experts for the health, fitness & wellness industries specializing in tailor-made wearable, mobile and web applications.
For the past 6 years, December Labs has been at the forefront of health tech design and development. We have partnered with Silicon Valley startups, growth-stage and Fortune 500 companies to build solutions that respond to today’s - and tomorrow’s - needs.
To ensure HIPAA-compliance in digital health & fitness, especially for Electronic Health Records (EHRs), we apply the corresponding processes and resources to any projects involving the storage or transmission of protected health information (PHI), including HIPAA-compliance training for our developers.
Due to many years of working for healthcare clients, we excel at the rigorous documentation and process standards needed for software involved in medical devices seeking the Federal Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) approval. We have found that the key is oftentimes an exhaustive QA documentation process to help ensure meeting applicable requirements and specifications.
Apple HealthKit and Google Fit are the mobile platforms that are helping to standardize biometric data and storage mechanisms throughout the health & fitness ecosystem. We were among the first developers to leverage Apple’s open-source SDK’s Research Kit and Health Kit in combination with digital surveys for Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs).
When addressing tech solutions involving health & fitness issues, there’s a higher probability that users might have special needs for accessibility when it comes to reading and processing information or using an app or platform. Positioning the design thinking process at the core of what we do, our designers and developers anticipate and solve for different needs and users groups.
Now more than ever, wearable devices are at the frontline of product innovation in health tech due to the valuable data they provide. Our team has developed cutting-edge mobile apps with BLE and NFC connectivity for wearables and smart next-generation products to address specific consumer needs and shared our experience at events such as CES 2020 in Las Vegas.
Beyond providing specialized expertise in health, fitness & wellness for the past six years and our deep understanding of the factors and trends impacting your industry now and in the future, we are a scalable ad-hoc team that responds to the unique needs associated with current events and remote experts following best practices long before it became the norm.
For the past 4 years, we have been driving the Biostrap platform, featuring dual-device wearable technology (BLE wristband and shoe pod), oxygen saturation, heart rate variability measurements and machine-learning integrations.
