Numa Biosciences operates in the emerging organ-on-a-chip technology field and has accumulated an abundance of clinical studies describing experiments with human cells and how they react to different compounds. But these studies don't have a standardized format. Some of them aren’t even digitized. So, the client wanted to build a structured database that would encompass all these organ-on-chip studies in a unified digital format, enabling users to search, add, analyze, and compare studies, datasets, and experimental designs, and perform analyses, including reproducibility and power analysis. This platform would be accessible for a subscription fee and cater to both academic researchers and pharma innovators. Initially, Numa Biosciences adopted a platform built by a US-based university. And even though this system worked for the academic world, it was ill-suited for commercial purposes. Its outdated appearance and cumbersome navigation frustrated users. The system was so tedious that the university kept a dedicated person responsible for training newcomers. The university’s platform had two parts: a software-as-a-service cloud-based solution that was accessible online to the public and a desktop solution installed on a local server for internal usage. The client was searching for a competent software vendor who could overhaul the cloud platform, rebuild the front end from scratch, and work in tandem with the client’s back-end team to deliver a commercially viable, user-friendly version.
