Building digital tools for health equity

Co-creating MVP apps for communities the system overlooks.

We specialize in

Helios Quantum Clinical Global Group builds and pilots MVP-stage digital health tools with patients, caregivers, and frontline clinicians — so technology reflects the lived realities of communities most impacted by inequity.

Co-design with patients, caregivers, and clinicians MVP builds, pilots, and learning cycles — not shiny vaporware

Platform

From idea to MVP that lives in the real world.

We partner with community organizations, clinics, and advocacy groups to translate lived experience into digital tools — testing quickly, learning with users, and iterating toward impact, not just downloads.

01 — Listen

Community discovery

We begin with listening sessions, story-gathering, and workflow mapping to understand what gets in the way of care — and where a lightweight tool can actually help.

02 — Design

Co-created MVPs

We prototype lightweight apps with the people who will use them: patients, community health workers, and clinicians. Every screen is shaped by real context, not assumptions.

03 — Pilot

Real-world pilots

We launch small, focused pilots in clinics or community programs, track what actually changes, and learn fast before scaling or handing off to long-term partners.

Engagements

Ways to work with our team.

Whether you’re a community organization, clinic, or funder, we plug in where you are: clarifying the problem, shaping the MVP, or helping run a pilot with the people you serve.

Sprint

Problem framing lab

A fast, 2–4 week engagement to map the challenge, define user groups, and identify where a lightweight app or tool could meaningfully shift access, experience, or outcomes.

Embedded

MVP build & test

Our product, design, and clinical collaborators work alongside your team to co-design, build, and launch an MVP — from first sketches to a live pilot with real users.

Network

Scale & handoff

For MVPs that show promise, we help you refine the model, document the learnings, and connect with partners who can sustain or scale the tool beyond the pilot phase.


Podcast

QCR’s TITAN Thought Leader Podcast

A thought-leadership series featuring AI and life science experts in conversation — moving from real science to speculative storytelling to ethical reflection.

Helios x QCR Global
The Health Equity Signal in AI & Life Sciences

Hosted by QCR Global, the TITAN Thought Leader Podcast brings together scientists, founders, clinicians, and policy voices to ask what responsible innovation looks like in practice — especially for communities most impacted by inequity.

Each episode follows a three-part arc: real science on where the field is today, speculative storytelling on near-future possibilities, and ethical reflection on what should (and shouldn’t) be built.
