Our Customers Say It for Us
In addition to the solid technical expertise shown by ScienceSoft, its developers demonstrated a profound understanding of laboratory software specifics and integrations. I am particularly impressed by the cooperative nature of ScienceSoft’s team. Our project required coordination with multiple companies and individuals. ScienceSoft worked well with everyone.
During our cooperation, ScienceSoft proved to have vast expertise in the Healthcare and Life Science industries related to the development of desktop software connected to laboratory equipment, a mobile application, and a data analytics platform.
They bring top-quality talents and deep knowledge of IT technologies and approaches in accordance with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 standards.
To develop a mobile application that would enhance a line of Bluetooth-enabled devices for newborn and baby care, we opened an app development tender. ScienceSoft's proof-of-concept was impressive and convincing enough for us to further the cooperation. During the project flow, we were very pleased by the work of ScienceSoft's business analysts and developers, who demonstrated a high level of skills and competence.

Questions You May Have About Healthcare IT Outsourcing
Is it safe to outsource healthcare IT operations and projects to third-party vendors like you?
ScienceSoft has decades of experience in healthcare IT, a well-rounded approach to security backed by ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications, and an uncompromised reputation. We are proficient in the data privacy regulations applicable to healthcare (HIPAA, GDPR, UAE PDLP, and more), and we abide by them religiously.
Do we need to sign a Business Associate Agreement?
If you operate in the US market, we must sign this contract to follow HIPAA requirements. It legally guarantees we will protect ePHI during our collaboration.
What if we want to terminate the project early?
At all project stages, we document our processes and actions and create a shareable and compliant knowledge base that is ultimately owned by you, not ScienceSoft. We treat knowledge transfer as an integral part of every IT outsourcing agreement to ensure you never lose essential information about your apps and infrastructure. As for the contract termination obligations, there are no exit fees — we only require you to give a one month’s notice.
