Digital therapeutics and SaMD, without building the backend

When the software is the medical device, the backend is part of it. Prescription apps, digital therapeutics, mental-health programs and dosing calculators all need secure accounts, patient data, clinical logic and a software lifecycle an auditor will accept. Extra Horizon provides that certified backend, so your team can focus on the therapy.

Software as the device

The app is the product. So is everything behind it.

With no hardware to set it apart, a digital therapeutic depends on its clinical evidence, its user experience and the trust of clinicians and payers — all of which rely on a backend most teams would rather not build.

The whole product falls under IEC 62304

When the software is the medical device, its backend is in scope too: lifecycle documentation, SOUP management and cybersecurity evidence for infrastructure you would otherwise have to run yourself.

Prescriptions decide who gets in

Patients get access through a prescription or activation code, often for a limited period, while physicians and payers need their own, narrower view of the same data.

Clinical logic has to be traceable

Dosing calculations, risk scores and therapy steps must behave the same every time, and every version you release must be documented and reproducible.

Proven in software

From smartphone app to certified medical device

FibriCheck

FibriCheck lets people check their heart rhythm with nothing more than their smartphone and get an immediate result. Built on Extra Horizon, the medically certified app has grown to more than 700,000 users in 40 countries, with over 6 million recordings made.

Built for regulated software

Evidence for the software behind your therapy

Notified bodies, FDA reviewers and payers examine the backend of a software medical device as closely as the app. Build it on a platform that arrives with the evidence already in place.

IEC 62304 and the MDR

Software as a Medical Device needs a documented lifecycle. A qualified supplier certified to IEC 62304 and ISO 13485 covers the backend part of that file.

Reimbursement requirements

Reimbursement schemes such as Germany's DiGA add data-protection and security requirements of their own. A dedicated, certified deployment gives you a head start.

Health data protection

Therapy and mental-health data are special-category data under GDPR. A dedicated deployment in the region you choose, with scoped access, keeps them where they belong.
