TL;DR: Replay leverages video analysis and AI to reconstruct compliant and functional healthcare UIs, accelerating development while minimizing errors.
Revolutionizing Healthcare UI Development with AI Compliance#
Healthcare UI development is notoriously complex. Beyond the standard challenges of usability and performance, developers face stringent regulatory requirements like HIPAA and accessibility standards like WCAG. Traditional methods, relying on static mockups and extensive manual testing, often lead to delays, errors, and compliance risks. What if you could bypass these hurdles, creating functional and compliant UIs directly from observed user behavior?
Replay, a video-to-code engine powered by Gemini, offers a revolutionary approach. Instead of relying on static images or hand-coded prototypes, Replay analyzes video recordings of user interactions to reconstruct functional UIs. This behavior-driven reconstruction ensures the generated code reflects real-world usage patterns, leading to more intuitive and compliant applications.
The Problem: Compliance, Speed, and Accuracy#
Healthcare UI development suffers from three key pain points:
- •Compliance: Strict regulations demand meticulous attention to detail, often requiring specialized expertise and extensive auditing.
- •Speed: The need for thorough testing and documentation slows down the development process, delaying time to market.
- •Accuracy: Static mockups and prototypes may not accurately reflect user behavior, leading to usability issues and potential compliance violations.
Traditional UI development tools often fall short in addressing these challenges, requiring developers to spend countless hours on manual coding, testing, and remediation.
Replay: A Behavior-Driven Solution#
Replay addresses these challenges by leveraging video analysis and AI to automate the UI reconstruction process. By analyzing video recordings of user interactions, Replay understands user intent and generates code that accurately reflects real-world usage patterns.
Here's how Replay transforms healthcare UI development:
- •Video as Source of Truth: Replay treats video recordings as the primary source of truth, ensuring that the generated code reflects real user behavior.
- •Behavior-Driven Reconstruction: Replay analyzes user interactions within the video to understand the underlying intent, generating code that accurately reflects the desired functionality.
- •Automated Compliance Checks: Replay integrates with accessibility testing tools and compliance libraries to automatically identify and remediate potential issues.
- •Supabase Integration: Seamlessly integrate your UI with a robust backend using Replay's Supabase integration, simplifying data management and authentication.
How Replay Works: A Step-by-Step Guide#
Let's walk through a practical example of using Replay to reconstruct a patient registration form from a video recording.
Step 1: Record User Interaction
Record a video of a user interacting with an existing (or prototype) patient registration form. Ensure the video clearly captures all user actions, including data entry, button clicks, and form submissions. This video serves as the blueprint for Replay's reconstruction.
Step 2: Upload and Analyze
Upload the video to Replay. Replay's AI engine will analyze the video, identifying UI elements, user interactions, and underlying intent. This process involves:
- •Object Detection: Identifying and classifying UI elements like text fields, buttons, and labels.
- •Action Recognition: Understanding user actions like typing, clicking, and scrolling.
- •Intent Inference: Determining the user's overall goal, such as registering a new patient or updating existing information.
Step 3: Generate Code
Once the analysis is complete, Replay generates clean, functional code for the patient registration form. The generated code includes:
- •HTML Structure: The basic layout and structure of the form.
- •CSS Styling: The visual appearance of the form elements.
- •JavaScript Logic: The functionality for handling user input, validating data, and submitting the form.
Here's a simplified example of the generated code:
typescript// Generated by Replay import React, { useState } from 'react'; const PatientRegistrationForm = () => { const [firstName, setFirstName] = useState(''); const [lastName, setLastName] = useState(''); const [dob, setDob] = useState(''); const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => { e.preventDefault(); // Simulate form submission console.log('Submitting:', { firstName, lastName, dob }); // In a real application, you would send this data to your backend }; return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <div> <label htmlFor="firstName">First Name:</label> <input type="text" id="firstName" value={firstName} onChange={(e) => setFirstName(e.target.value)} /> </div> <div> <label htmlFor="lastName">Last Name:</label> <input type="text" id="lastName" value={lastName} onChange={(e) => setLastName(e.target.value)} /> </div> <div> <label htmlFor="dob">Date of Birth:</label> <input type="date" id="dob" value={dob} onChange={(e) => setDob(e.target.value)} /> </div> <button type="submit">Register</button> </form> ); }; export default PatientRegistrationForm;
Step 4: Customize and Integrate
The generated code can be easily customized and integrated into your existing healthcare application. You can modify the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to meet your specific requirements. Replay also supports integration with popular frameworks and libraries, making it easy to incorporate the generated code into your existing workflow.
💡 Pro Tip: Use Replay's style injection feature to easily apply your existing design system to the generated code, ensuring visual consistency across your application.

📝 Note: While screenshot-to-code tools can be useful for generating basic UI elements, they lack the ability to understand user behavior and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations. Replay's video analysis capabilities provide a more comprehensive and accurate solution.
Ensuring HIPAA Compliance with Replay#
While Replay automates UI generation, developers still bear the ultimate responsibility for HIPAA compliance. Replay facilitates this by:
- •Data Minimization: Replay's analysis focuses on UI interactions, minimizing the need to process sensitive patient data.
- •Secure Data Handling: All video recordings are stored and processed securely, adhering to industry best practices for data protection.
- •Audit Trails: Replay provides detailed audit trails of all code generation activities, facilitating compliance audits.
⚠️ Warning: Always review and validate the generated code to ensure it meets your specific compliance requirements. Consult with legal and compliance experts to ensure your application adheres to all applicable regulations.
Code Example: Integrating with Accessibility Libraries#
Replay can be integrated with accessibility libraries like
react-axetypescript// Example using react-axe for accessibility testing import React, { useEffect } from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'; import App from './App'; import axe from '@axe-core'; if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { axe.configure({ rules: [ { id: 'color-contrast', enabled: false } ] }) axe.default.run().then(console.log) } const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!); root.render( <React.StrictMode> <App /> </React.StrictMode> );
This code snippet automatically runs accessibility tests on your UI components, providing detailed reports of any issues that need to be addressed. Replay can be configured to automatically incorporate these tests into the code generation process, ensuring that the generated code is accessible from the start.
