Stella offers unparalleled healthcare technology and domain expertise to provide organizations with cost-effective, end-to-end software development services to build tailored solutions from the ground up.
Our approach to social determinants really benefits from the pedigree that Stella has, and it's a differentiator because some of our competitors just come from social services and don't come from the hardcore HIT and HIE background.

They earn your trust, and when you have that foundation of trust, you know that whatever challenges the project runs into, you're going be able to work through them. That's important.

Stella Development Services Overview
From just a product idea to ready-to-deploy enterprise-grade applications and platforms, Stella has a vast track record of designing, developing and delivering software for providers, payers and patients.
Product Discovery, Validation and Competitive Analysis
In this initial phase of software product development, we work with customers to understand their problem statement - the pain points/issues they are trying to resolve with the software product - and analyze the market to see how and where the idea fits in. We also look for competitors and similar products and envision how this product can be different/better than some of the available options.

- Stakeholder Interviews
- Empathy Mapping
- User Journey Mapping
- Product Strategy and Market Analysis
- Technology Evaluation and Vendor Selection (Build vs. Buy)
- User Surveys

Product Ideation
Stella Technology uses a structured, user-centered design methodology to transform clients' raw ideas into solutions that not only address their needs and drives business growth, but also bring proven value to their users. We carry out the following activities to map out their vision.
- User flows
- Sketching
- Wireframing
- Prototyping
UI/UX Design

Product Management

Software Design and Development
Stella finalizes the solution's technical architecture that will be used to build the software based on the outputs of the Product Discovery and Ideation phases. We also take into account a number of elements such as the type of architecture necessary to support future growth and scalability, and then develop the software using the technologies finalized in the design phase.
- Monolithic Application Development
- Serverless Application Development
- Amazon Lambda
- Firebase Functions
- Web Applications
- Mobile Application (iOS and Android)
- Microservices Application Development
- ETL
- Web Services (SOAP, RESTful)
- Cloud Services
- Amazon Web Services
- Google Cloud Platform
Quality Assurance and Testing
Stella conducts extensive quality assurance on our software builds and executes two types of testing: functional testing, making sure clients' requirements are met; and non-functional testing, to test those elements that are not included by the customer but that are crucial to a successful build; e.g. the stability and security of the software, load and stress testing, scalability and reliability. Much of the testing is automated, using different frameworks and scripting techniques, complemented by manual testing for scenarios that cannot be automated.
- Test Cases Definition, Maintenance and Execution
- Unit Testing
- Integration Testing
- Performance Testing
- Security Testing
- Test Planning
- Test Automation
- End-to-end Testing
Development Operations
Stella's DevOps unites the skill of a software engineer and those of a system engineer to build and deploy the software being developed. Using automated tools, the DevOps resource builds pipelines to ensure developers' code is deployed on the cloud and is accessible for testing and an eventual release to end users.
- CI/CD Configuration
- Server Configuration, Management and Maintenance
Support, Maintenance and Operations
Post-deployment, Stella provides support, maintenance and operations services to clients. We respond to client issues with our standard three-level support processes, and conduct software and system maintenance as required on a regular basis. If scheduled maintenance takes place, such as upgrading or downgrading servers, this department handles client queries and performs the upgrades/downgrades on client applications.
