Enhancing the Core Product and Prototyping Early-stage Concepts
Rightpoint’s work with Sanofi is concentrated with the company’s internal client, MedTech, who’s digital strategy has focused on Class I and Class II medical apps for diabetes therapies. To help this internal team achieve objectives related to product stability, predictable sprints, and innovation, the Rightpoint team functions as a fully integrated extension of Sanofi’s in-house tech team. While Rightpoint’s ISO 13485 certification enables Sanofi to deliver quality medical grade software meeting the FDA’s and EU’s regulatory guidelines, Sanofi’s preference was for the Rightpoint team to integrate with the existing Sanofi team and work directly in their own QMS with Sanofi project managers.
Rightpoint’s contribution to Sanofi’s mission fall into two categories: core development work and innovative proof-of-concept projects.
Core Development Work
To support ongoing development projects, Rightpoint provides a flexible resource solution that allows Sanofi to engage exactly the resources they need when they need them. Rightpoint provides iOS engineers, bluetooth integrators, mobile specialists, and others, saving Sanofi the effort and expense of identifying, recruiting, onboarding, and managing additional in-house staff while ensuring the organization has all the technical expertise it needs at its fingertips.
Innovative Proof-of-Concept Work
In addition to the on-site staff augmentation, Rightpoint also works under their own QMS on a number of proof-of-concept efforts to uncover the potential applications of enabling various voice, software, and device integrations. Rightpoint’s deep expertise across a broad array of technology specialties enables them to handle complex projects and produce a wide range of early-stage prototypes that embody the forward-thinking strategies Sanofi needs to push their product roadmap forwar
Many of the concepts from this early stage design exploration are being incorporated in the next version of the product. For example, working closely with Sanofi’s internal resources, Rightpoint took on the responsibility of redesigning the user experience and UI of a diabetes log book and adherence platform that works with connected devices (including BLE injectors, BG meters, and BTLE devices) and that will also incorporate a basal insulin titration algorithm from an earlier version of the platform. Sanofi decided to productize this design, so the project has transitioned to the Rightpoint engineers on the staff augmentation team for development.
Whether working on core product design and development or proof-of-concept innovations, Rightpoint is continuously in lockstep with Sanofi on their ultimate mission to actively improve patient health. Each member of the integrated team is acutely aware that their work has the potential to actually impact people’s lives in very real and dramatic ways. A consistent commitment to seeing this through fuels everything the team does.
