Features that set the Chorus no code platform apart in app development for health and research

A visual, no-code app platform for quick, simple creation and deployment

Chorus reduces the time and complexity of making apps, providing a visual app building platform that requires zero coding. Rapid development translates into rapid iteration and increased capacity, equipping you to respond more nimbly to shifting needs, goals, and priorities as they arise.

‍
Start with out-of-the box solutions, but retain the ability to create new modules to support additional and evolving needs. Do it yourself using our simple to use visual platform, or work with our team of designers and developers to build exactly what you need.

A participatory approach to app development

Chorus is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), which means that it provides an expertly-engineered foundation for your application, that brings down the technical barriers to who can create. We’ve mastered key core functions, security, and compliance, so you can freely build within the platform. This makes building more inclusive, and enables non-technical folks to take part in the development process.

‍
Tailor the functionality of your application, cater to local and time-based needs, and hone in on an inclusive, partnership-centric process. To further this process, our team of experts can assist in community and stakeholder engagement, user interface design, and building on digital health best practices.

Centralized security and compliance

Our HIPAA-compliant app builder centralizes management of security, risk assessment policies, and compliance operations. Rather than securing a multitude of apps, you can ensure that all of your apps inherit pre-determined controls. This makes development, management, and review markedly more efficient, simultaneously reducing security vulnerabilities.

Common app types built using the Chorus no code platform:

• Apps to support research and clinical trials
• Research surveys and assessments
• Apps to support clinical care, including interactive chat and patient engagement
• Digital therapeutics and apps to support behavior change including supporting multi-media, wearable integrations, and AI and Machine Learning
• Community and public health apps to support care connection and coordination, as well as organization and navigation of community based resources
• Applications across mobile, desktop, and interactive voice

A HIPAA-compliant app building platform that will never share or sell your data

Did you know that many health app developers and platforms utilize user data for their own purposes? Chorus is different. We believe that your user data should never be used for monetary gain, which is why we do not share or sell it in any way.

‍
When you build an app using the Chorus platform, you’ll benefit from our centralized security and compliance management that’s already baked into every app built on our platform. We use industry standard protocols to ensure your data is always secure.

‍
The security features in our no code platform include HIPAA-compliance and SOC2 audit completion, to safeguard all sensitive data, providing the peace of mind you want and need.
