The founders of CoPatient, amazing thinkers and entrepreneurs, approached us with a tight deadline, transitional branding, and the need to deliver a demo app at a major investor conference. The app needed to get people excited about their service as CoPatient worked to secure Series A funding. CoPatient’s service addresses a problem most of us are unaware of and saves users money at the same time. They review medical bills, find errors and overcharges, and pass the savings on to you minus a nominal fee for their effort. There are essentially piles of money being left on the table every time you’re billed for medical services. CoPatient helps you find these errors and assigns an advocate to get the errors resolved on your behalf.

We went on to define and build a minimum viable product (MVP) focused on the task of submitting bills. It includes a custom interface that uses iPhone’s built-in camera to quickly capture multiple bill pages and convert them to a single PDF. Focusing on this core functionality allowed us to move quickly and refine the app into a carefully designed usable tool.

This app was a collaboration between myself and my frequent partner on all things digital, Jack Bransfield.
