HealthContext.AI started with an AI First Proof of Concept leveraging OpenAI and other AI services prior to full development.

What is an AI-first proof of concept (PoC)?

With the rapid advancement of Generative AI, an AI Proof of Concept (PoC) focuses on developing a coded, functional prototype to validate AI’s role in your solution. Its goal is to demonstrate the viability and functionality of your product vision while leveraging the latest AI advancements in modern software development.

How We Approach an AI-First PoC

A PoC provides fast, data-driven validation before full-scale development. Instead of waiting months for an MVP launch, you gain actionable insights from a working prototype in days, aligning your team with real-world learnings. It accelerates the traditional timeline from concept validation to product testing, condensing months of work into mere weeks.

Assess AI’s Value – Identify where AI can enhance your development process.
Rapid Prototyping – Build and test AI-powered features and workflows quickly.
Define a Scalable Strategy – Establish an AI-enhanced development approach for long-term success.

Our approach

AI-First Proof of Concept (PoC): Move Fast, Learn Faster

Our AI-First PoC is designed to help you rapidly assess technical feasibility, AI’s role in your product, and solution architecture. With our hybrid team approach, we blend US-based AI leadership with nearshore development for cost-efficient execution—ensuring speed, expertise, and real insights before full-scale development.

* Speed: Move Quickly, Learn Faster – We deliver functional AI prototypes in days, not weeks. Our streamlined approach accelerates learning, so you can make informed decisions about AI adoption.
* Demonstrated Expertise: Proven Across Industries – With successful AI MVPs, healthcare tech solutions, and platform modernizations, we understand how to integrate AI meaningfully into products.
* Proven Methodologies: Industry-Standard Frameworks – Our US-based PoC team leverages frameworks like Google Venture Design Sprint to efficiently validate AI-driven solutions.
* Hybrid Team Value: Cost-Plus Pricing & Shared Accountability – Our structured hybrid model ensures US-based AI leadership for strategy and solution design, while our nearshore team in the Dominican Republic handles data engineering and implementation. No hidden markups—just transparent pricing with a fixed 25% cost-plus model.

We know that technical teams, stakeholders, and leadership alike need something functional, data-driven, and realistic to make meaningful decisions. Our AI PoC gives you the clarity and alignment needed before moving forward with full development.

Our process and deliverables

We kick things off with an alignment workshop, either in person or remotely, where we bring our teams together to talk about your goals, assumptions, culture, and where you want to go. This helps us understand what your product’s objectives are and the challenges you’re facing. Before ending the workshop we determine the best final deliverable to align your team – whether a visually designed concept or a coded functional prototype.

What’s Included:

1/3

Prioritized PoC roadmap

Considering the market problem, product vision and your organization tangle next steps, the Digital Scientists team will work with you to set a prioritized roadmap that will guide the proof of concept phase of your product.

2/3

Concept prototype

After gathering insights and recommendations from stakeholders and users, a simple prototype will be built based on agreed upon requirements and priorities for the various user experiences. Product walk-thru videos may be produced to consistently display your proof of concept and help align your internal organization.

3/3

User validation results

To prove the concept and align your team, you need to quickly see how users are reacting to your new product concept. We can help you interview schedule and interview users, compile insights and provide validation results.

Deliverables may include:

PoC feature prioritization roadmap
UX Designs
Functional prototype (coded) or clickable prototype (designed)
User validation testing

* The deliverables of each proof of concept will vary based on the needs of each client PoC.
