How we help our clients succeed
Alexander Ebinger - Hart Biologicals
"Firefinch has been a critical partner in the development of our new Medical Device. The team integrated seamlessly with our Technical and Design teams to develop a user-friendly, modern looking software that is safe and accessible for the modern Point-of-Care market. Regulations for Medical Devices and software vary widely from country to country and Firefinch was a great help in making sure we are compliant in all our target markets. We really appreciated their communication and openness with our team members that led to friendly and robust cooperation between our teams which ultimately helped to deliver a great product."
