    Someone can say, 'Why do you oppose this?' So I'd like to prevent such attacks and tell that this article is dedicated mainly to the issue if it's worth to look for the cheapest solution.

    Software and web
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    development market is overwhelmed nowadays. Hence, as soon as there is a possibility to get something for nothing the usual approach in search for developers is a choice of the lowest price. The logic is
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    understandable enough, 'Why should I pay $1000 for this bit of software if I can find somebody that will develop the same for as much as $200?' Is it true? I bet it is.

    Anyhow, think once again about the
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    phrase 'something for nothing'. Do you really believe it's possible? If you really think so, I'd suggest you should consider several issues while picking up a developer.



    1. You are paying for wha
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    t you are getting.
    Normally, any developer will charge you on a basis of the total man-hour they need to complete the project. Talking about offshore development will let us take the price of $8-$15

    time to develop the application. However, as soon as you won't fall lower than $8 at any Indian company (not prestigious enough to charge extra money for quality insurance etc.), let's look for somebody wh
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

    2. People can do as much work per hour as they can.
    It's obvious, different people have different efficiency. So if it will take just 2 weeks to develop a simple applicati
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    on for some programmer, it can take several months to do the same for another one. It's logical, professionals charge more for their services. In return they can develop things other programmers can't make
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    for you even for the less money. But keep you brain cool. Even the best programmer is not a speedy typist. Typing of code, in addition to its design and development, also takes some time. So don't demand
    ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
    programmers to develop something in a day just because you believe the task is simple.

    3. Someone's told you he can develop it two times sooner? Ask him what exactly he'll do?
    As I've already t
    ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

    Following aspects would a
    old, definitely, there is a great lag in programmer's capacities. However, the speedier the programmer is, the more expensive his services are. Surely, there are some ways to shorten the development time
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    . They are:
    • Usage of existing open source software.
      Although, some products are just great, don't expect continuous support and the developer's awareness of how everything works within his produ

    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin

  • Denial of the code's optimization necessity.
    There are situations when e.g. web based software refuses to work properly on servers just because it consumes too much server resources. Why? It

    What would be the developing cost?

    s mainly because the code is clumsy and under-optimized. The more quality code takes more time.
  • Absence of any single line of comments in the source code.
    Commenting of the source code takes tim

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    So consider all advantages and disadvantages once more. You have a choice of paying
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    e.g. $1000 to a reliable company that can't afford to provide you with a poor quality product; hence, it does everything to make it properly. Or you can spare about $800 and get running, however unstable s
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    oftware without comments and under-optimized enough for its best performance. Surely, it's up to you what you should choose.

    And again, there is no equivalence between "cheap" and "bad quality", as well
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
