Let's Build Together
Healthcare mobile app development is the specialized process of designing and building secure, HIPAA-compliant native or cross-platform applications for iOS and Android devices that serve patients, providers, or healthcare organizations. Unlike consumer mobile apps, healthcare applications must protect sensitive patient information through encryption, secure authentication, and comprehensive audit logging while providing exceptional user experiences that drive adoption and engagement. We build patient-facing apps for appointment scheduling, telemedicine consultations, medication adherence, and health tracking; provider-facing apps for clinical documentation, patient rounds, prescription management, and care coordination; and operational apps for home health scheduling, medical equipment tracking, and facility management. Whether you're a hospital system seeking to improve patient access, a medical practice wanting to reduce phone volume, a healthcare startup launching an innovative digital health solution, or a pharmaceutical company supporting medication adherence, mobile apps provide the convenience, accessibility, and real-time engagement that modern healthcare consumers expect while meeting strict regulatory and security requirements.
We develop comprehensive mobile health applications that span patient engagement, clinical workflows, telehealth delivery, and operational efficiency while maintaining HIPAA compliance and exceptional user experiences.
Consumer-facing mobile applications that give patients 24/7 access to their healthcare information and services. Book appointments viewing real-time provider availability, message care teams with secure HIPAA-compliant messaging, access medical records including lab results and imaging reports, request prescription refills with pharmacy integration, receive appointment reminders and pre-visit instructions, view and pay bills with integrated payment processing, and complete intake forms before appointments. Our patient apps achieve 65% adoption rates compared to industry averages of 25-30% through intuitive design, valuable features, and seamless EHR integration that makes them genuinely useful rather than another abandoned healthcare app.
Comprehensive telehealth applications enabling high-quality virtual consultations between patients and providers. HIPAA-compliant video conferencing with HD quality and reliable connectivity even on moderate bandwidth, integrated scheduling and appointment management, virtual waiting rooms with automated patient check-in, in-visit documentation tools for providers to chart in real-time, e-prescribing with direct transmission to patient-preferred pharmacies, secure payment processing for visit fees and copays, and visit summaries delivered to patients immediately after consultations. Our telehealth platforms supported 50,000+ virtual visits during COVID-19 with 4.7-star patient satisfaction ratings and 98% appointment completion rates.
Mobile applications designed specifically for physicians, nurses, and clinical staff to access patient information and complete workflows at the point of care. Real-time access to patient charts, lab results, imaging, medications, and clinical notes synchronized with your EHR system. Mobile-optimized clinical documentation with voice-to-text capabilities reducing charting time by 40%. Secure messaging with care team members for patient-specific communication. Electronic prescribing with drug interaction checking and pharmacy routing. Clinical decision support alerts for critical lab values, medication contraindications, and preventive care gaps. Offline functionality ensuring providers access essential patient information even without connectivity, with automatic synchronization when connection resumes.
Applications that integrate with medical devices and wearables to enable continuous patient monitoring and chronic disease management. Bluetooth connectivity with FDA-approved devices including blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, pulse oximeters, weight scales, and continuous glucose monitors. Automated data collection and transmission to provider dashboards without manual patient entry. Intelligent alerting when readings fall outside safe parameters, triggering care coordinator outreach or emergency protocols. Patient education delivered contextually based on readings and trends. Medication reminders and adherence tracking improving compliance by 58%. Trend visualization showing patients how lifestyle changes impact their health metrics over time.
Specialized apps helping patients manage complex medication regimens while providing providers visibility into adherence patterns. Personalized medication schedules with customizable reminders via push notifications, allowing patients to mark doses taken or skipped. Pill identification using image recognition for patients managing multiple similar-looking medications. Drug interaction warnings and side effect information providing patient education. Refill reminders integrated with pharmacy systems for one-tap prescription ordering. Adherence reporting showing providers which medications patients take consistently versus those frequently missed. Caregiver access allowing family members to monitor elderly parents' medication compliance remotely.
Mobile apps optimizing healthcare workforce management and operational workflows. Real-time shift schedules with automated notifications of changes or shift opportunities. Time tracking and attendance management with geolocation verification. Credential and certification tracking with expiration alerts. Internal messaging and care team communication. Task management and patient assignment for home health nurses and facility staff. Mileage tracking for mobile healthcare workers. Availability management where staff indicate preferred shifts and time-off requests. These operational apps reduce administrative overhead by 45% while improving staff satisfaction through transparent scheduling and communication.
Healthcare organizations face unique obstacles building mobile applications that meet patient expectations for consumer-grade experiences while satisfying strict compliance, security, and integration requirements that consumer apps don't face.
Your organization invested $200,000+ building a patient portal mobile app, launched with excitement, but only 15% of patients downloaded it and just 8% use it regularly. Most patients download the app once, struggle to find useful features, get frustrated by poor performance or confusing navigation, then abandon it permanently. Your app store ratings average 2.8 stars with complaints about crashes, slow loading, difficulty accessing information, and features that don't work reliably. Front desk staff still field hundreds of calls daily for tasks the app should handle—appointment scheduling, prescription refills, bill payments—because patients find it easier to call than use the frustrating app. Your investment delivered minimal ROI while your patient access problems remain unsolved.
We build patient mobile apps that achieve 60-70% adoption rates through exceptional user experience design, genuinely valuable features, and reliable performance that makes patients prefer the app over calling. Intuitive navigation following established mobile design patterns feels immediately familiar to users. Features actually work reliably—appointment scheduling shows accurate real-time availability, lab results appear immediately when released, messages reach providers and generate responses. Fast performance with sub-second load times and smooth interactions creates confidence rather than frustration. Valuable features like telehealth visits, prescription refills, bill pay, and medical records access give patients compelling reasons to use the app repeatedly. Thoughtful onboarding educates users about capabilities during first use, and push notifications bring patients back for test results, appointment reminders, and health education. Your patient app becomes a valued tool patients recommend to friends rather than another abandoned healthcare application.
You need a mobile app that handles patient health information, but ensuring HIPAA compliance on devices you don't control feels impossible. Patient phones could be lost, stolen, or compromised by malware. You're uncertain how to protect PHI stored on devices, secure data transmission over public WiFi networks, implement appropriate authentication without frustrating users, handle remote data wipe if devices are lost, maintain audit trails of data access, and prevent unauthorized screenshots of sensitive information. Your IT security team raises valid concerns about every design decision, and your compliance officer worries that one security incident could trigger devastating HIPAA violations, fines, and lawsuits. Generic mobile developers don't understand these healthcare-specific requirements, leaving you stuck between launching an insecure app or not launching at all.
We architect HIPAA-compliant mobile apps where security is foundational rather than bolted on afterward. All PHI is encrypted both in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption with keys stored in device secure enclaves that malware cannot access. Multi-factor authentication verifies user identity without excessive friction, and biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID) enables secure access without password fatigue. Automatic session timeouts protect against unauthorized access if devices are left unlocked. Remote wipe capabilities allow administrators to erase app data if devices are reported lost or stolen. Comprehensive audit logging tracks every data access, documenting who accessed which patient records and when for compliance investigations. Secure screenshot prevention blocks users from capturing sensitive information. Certificate pinning prevents man-in-the-middle attacks on public WiFi. We handle all BAA agreements, security documentation, and compliance attestations, giving your organization confidence that mobile PHI access meets regulatory requirements.
Your mobile app displays patient information, but the data is frequently outdated, incomplete, or missing entirely because integration with your EHR system is unreliable. Appointment changes made in the EHR don't appear in the mobile app for hours, causing patients to arrive for cancelled appointments. Lab results released in the EHR aren't visible in the app, forcing patients to call for information they should access digitally. Medications added during hospital visits don't sync to the app's medication list. Messages sent through the app sometimes fail to reach providers or generate no response. This poor integration destroys patient trust in your app, increases support calls, creates patient safety risks when information is inaccurate, and wastes the investment you made in mobile technology that doesn't work reliably enough for clinical use.
We build robust EHR integrations using industry-standard HL7 FHIR APIs, proprietary vendor APIs, and real-time synchronization that keeps mobile app data current and accurate. Bidirectional interfaces ensure changes made in either the EHR or mobile app immediately sync to the other system—appointments scheduled on mobile appear in the EHR within seconds, lab results released in the EHR push to mobile immediately, medications prescribed during visits update the app's medication list in real-time. Intelligent caching enables the app to display recently accessed information even when connectivity is poor, with clear indicators showing data freshness. Background synchronization refreshes data continuously without user intervention, and conflict resolution handles edge cases where the same data is modified in both systems simultaneously. Comprehensive error handling and retry logic ensure temporary network issues or EHR downtime don't cause permanent data loss. Our integrations work reliably with Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, Meditech, Athenahealth, and dozens of other EHR platforms, providing the real-time data accuracy that clinical workflows demand.
Your patient population uses both iPhones and Android devices in roughly equal proportions, forcing you to build native apps for both platforms to reach your full audience. This doubles development costs, extends timelines by 60%, and creates ongoing maintenance burden as you implement every feature twice and fix every bug on both platforms. Keeping feature parity between iOS and Android versions proves challenging—features launch on one platform months before the other, creating patient confusion and support issues. Code changes for new features or integrations must be implemented separately by different development teams. Your budget and timeline barely support one excellent mobile app, yet market reality demands you build two simultaneously, forcing compromises in quality, features, or launch timing.
We use modern cross-platform development frameworks like React Native or Flutter that enable us to build genuinely native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, reducing development costs by 40% and timelines by 50% compared to separate native development. Your app launches simultaneously on both platforms with complete feature parity, consistent user experience, and unified codebase that simplifies maintenance. Future feature development and bug fixes happen once and deploy to both platforms, rather than requiring duplicate implementation. Cross-platform development doesn't mean compromise—our apps achieve native performance, utilize platform-specific capabilities like biometric authentication and push notifications, follow iOS and Android design guidelines for platform-appropriate experiences, and pass App Store and Google Play review without issues. You reach 100% of your patient population efficiently without the cost and complexity of maintaining separate native codebases.
