Do you have experience writing web apps?
If you remember the URLs for these tools, just sign up for trial accounts or something and try to reverse engineer how they work. I find flowcharts useful in nailing down the exact user flow, and then just use your CS/SWE knowledge to build a suitable backend that satisfies the constraints.
You don't want to turn away your friend by bombarding her with endless questions, but you definitely have a place to start with what you've already described
- greenyoda 8y agoThere's a lot of stuff in the software that you can't see from the UI. For example, if the app is going to deal with patient information, it has to be HIPAA compliant and possibly conform to state laws governing healthcare providers. It may also need to interface with systems from dozens of insurers. I think that the odds of someone unfamiliar with the industry creating a usable application (let alone one that's better than the widely used one) are very small. The best bet might be to find a co-founder who has had significant experience in this industry.
