Client
A dedicated team of researchers and health professionals drives the PADA project, united by a commitment to enhance shared decision-making in clinical settings. Their core objective is to democratize access to health decision support tools (DSTs) through the development of an intuitive, IPDAS-compliant platform. By partnering with Toumoro, they aim to create a scalable technological solution enabling experts to design, test, and widely disseminate DSTs across Quebec and internationally, ensuring optimal end-user accessibility.
Project
Toumoro was mandated to develop PADA, a collaborative platform designed to streamline the creation of health decision support tools (DSTs). The project's goals include providing an interactive interface for generating DSTs in web and PDF formats, enabling real-time monitoring of their evolution, and integrating partner feedback seamlessly. Following an initial phase encompassing architecture, UX design, and a partial MVP, current development efforts are focused on optimizing and scaling the platform to democratize access to DSTs both within Quebec and internationally.
Challenges
Toumoro tackled several key challenges in developing PADA: designing an intuitive interface for diverse users, ensuring adherence to IPDAS standards, and optimizing performance for collaborative DST management. Their user-centered approach addressed these issues through rigorous UX testing, a flexible architecture enabling seamless updates, and the integration of partner feedback. Furthermore, leveraging modern technologies allowed for efficient DST generation in both web formats and PDF, while maintaining accessible costs to encourage widespread adoption.
Approach
Toumoro employs an innovative software development approach, fusing user-centered design, agility, and modern technologies. The team prioritizes short iterative cycles, incorporating UX testing and continuous stakeholder collaboration to ensure the platform meets real-world needs. PADA's modular architecture enables flexible evolution and seamless integration of new features. By leveraging advanced development tools and automated deployment, Toumoro delivers a robust, scalable, and accessible product, thereby facilitating the international adoption and scaling of DSTs.
