Cadabra Studio

Diagnosing a product before rebuilding it

Since 2015, Cadabra Studio has focused on healthcare and insurance software, working as a product design and development shop. It describes itself as a trauma center for digital products, a metaphor it explains as diagnosing why an existing product is failing before it treats the problem. Its first step is a deep diagnosis of the product, because a patch will not help when the product needs more fundamental work. The studio also creates new products from scratch, and it works with founders and product teams in regulated sectors where the rules are strict.

Redesign for products losing users

Redesign is a major part of the work. The studio reworks the user experience and interface of existing web and mobile products, and it also offers audits and consultations for products that are losing users or failing to scale. The problems it describes include users who drop off halfway through and features that produce no clear results.

Building web and mobile products from scratch

For new projects, Cadabra builds web and mobile applications, including native iOS and Android apps and cross-platform versions. The studio says it brings advanced technology experts into a client's team, and that it aims to deliver scalable web development together with strong design.

Healthcare and insurance case studies

The studio's published case studies include an online portal for the clients of an insurance company, and redesign work on the software used with neurosurgical tools for a company called Alpha Omega. Earlier projects include an event management app, a parking app and a mental health support app. Its case studies show how it approaches complex systems in regulated settings.

AI features and integrations

Cadabra adds artificial intelligence features to existing products and connects products with other systems. It also provides team augmentation, supplying extra designers and developers for client teams. Its website notes that it will sign a non-disclosure agreement before discussing project details, and that it prepares an estimate once requirements and timeframes are clear.
