Healthcare app development solution - A closer look
Convenient access to healthcare services
Healthcare app development services are rising to meet the demanding requirements of our digital world. The first and foremost driving factor is the need for convenient and quick usage of healthcare services. Our health mobile app development experts design apps that facilitate and save patients' time to help them manage their health effectively. These applications have a virtual consultation facility, appointment booking feature, and access to all medical and lab tests within a click. Patients can benefit from these health apps anywhere, anytime, and everywhere.
Monitoring health metrics to send real-time data
We develop apps for patients that monitor health metrics such as blood sugar and blood pressure and can send data in real-time to healthcare providers. More patients than ever are battling chronic diseases, and aging populations need continual monitoring and ongoing management, something healthcare apps can deliver easily and straightforwardly. This allows patients to continue life as usual without visiting a clinical site too often, and automated health alerts provide early warning signs and reduce the chance of emergencies.
Adapting to a new era by developing telemedicine apps
Lastly, the coronavirus pandemic has propelled the proliferation of digital healthcare solutions while highlighting the need for agile health tech apps that are resilient to changing market and consumer needs and, more importantly, to changing epidemiological and medical priorities throughout the pandemic. Our team develops secure and scalable telemedicine apps that allow video consultations and remote patient care to facilitate continuity of care.
Building user-friendly patient portals
We aim to bring solutions to the software through fully developed patient portals that offer a single place for patient medical records, test results, and planned treatments. We design these portals with friendly interfaces that are easy for patients to navigate and find what they want. We build them to be secure, gaining the compliance needed to pass the industry standards. We implement patient portals in a transparent and friendly way to protect the privacy of the individuals while providing the required information.
Designing mHealth apps for remote patient monitoring
Mobile health (mHealth) apps are another rising market where our expertise can benefit significantly - we build mHealth apps for smartphones, which may be paired with wearable devices and other home monitoring equipment. These apps remind patients of their medication regimens and help them keep track of their physical activity levels and diet plans to help them achieve their fitness goals. mHealth apps can also monitor vital signs in patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension and transmit relevant health data to a physician. Our designers ensure that such apps are engaging and intuitive enough to use regularly, leading patients to better self-manage their health.
Adding educational resources to empower patients
In addition to the technical development of the app, creating educational content directly in the app and delivering it to patients in a way that empowers them when it comes to knowledge about their diagnosis and treatment is very important to what we do. This includes combining text with interactive elements such as videos, quizzes, or infographics to give the patient a better experience when learning about health-related topics. Our comprehensive and person-centered approach to healthcare app development ensures that your app is technically compliant with the applicable regulations and offers a superior patient engagement experience.
EHR integration to promote real-time communication
One of the most important ways we do this is by integrating the app with existing EHRs. Seamlessly integrating an app into these records is essential for creating a centralized source of information for individual patients. The provider updates the information in real-time, and the patient or a carer can access this data on demand. With EHR integration, a health app can source information directly from the EHR, and the provider can rely on having the latest patient information at their fingertips. This results in better clinical workflows and more accurate and timely information for the provider to make better-informed decisions when administering care.
Integrating with lab systems
This extends to integrating healthcare apps with lab systems to facilitate quick and reliable patient diagnosis. We develop interfaces that enable lab results to be automatically uploaded and available in the healthcare app, thereby removing the need for manual data entry in the lab and acting as a deterrent to data entry errors. In addition, lab results are immediately available to the healthcare provider once they are ready.
Ensuring interoperability
Seamless integration ensures interoperability between new applications and existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, lab systems, and other healthcare infrastructure. Our expertise lies in carefully engineering new applications that facilitate smooth and efficient data exchange. We focus on providing a unified digital environment by creating a mobile health application that integrates seamlessly with existing systems.
Putting security procedures in place
We help our clients comply with regulations by ensuring that their apps are built with effective security. We follow best practice security procedures to protect PII sent to the servers and displayed to the user. We safeguard private health information using myriad techniques, from encryption to secure user authentication to data anonymization. Our development team regularly conducts security audit information-gathering (IA) activities and penetration testing/vulnerability assessments.
Audit trails, access controls, and consent management controls
Moreover, we bundle in adherence functionality – such as audit trails, access controls, and consent management controls – to ensure regulatory compliance. For example, audit trails track all interactions with diagnostic and user profile data, ensuring accountability. Track these interactions to identify if sensitive data is viewed by unauthorized personnel. Access controls ensure visibility and control to ensure that only authorized personnel can view or modify your sensitive data. Consent management controls allow patients to manage their own consent to share data with third parties.
Ongoing support
Compliance monitoring and support are critical to maintaining regulatory adherence in healthcare app development. We provide continuous updates and maintenance to ensure your app stays compliant with evolving regulations. We keep abreast of changes in the regulatory landscape and update the app's features and security measures accordingly.
Intuitive, clear, and visually pleasing design
The interface of a healthcare app plays a key role in deciding whether it will succeed or fail to engage its users. An app is only as good as its interface, so we focus on creating healthcare provider-facing interfaces (the back office of any user-facing app) and patient-facing interfaces. Our team understands healthcare providers’ workflows and needs and ensures the app is designed to augment their efficiency and productivity. At the same time, we ensure that our patient-facing interfaces are intuitive and have a clear visual design, making it easy for users to navigate the app, retrieve information, and perform common tasks such as making appointments or checking test results. This dual focus keeps the app’s target users engaged and avoids designing an app that only works for half the audience.
Conducting user research and testing
Also, we follow user-centered design principles, which are applied in developing a functional and well-designed product with the involvement of the intended beneficiaries. This means the development team conducts extensive user research and usability testing with actual users before the app release and makes changes to the design based on their feedback. This includes paying attention to their pain points, needs, and expectations when it comes to the design of an app and refining the look and feel of the app based on what we’re learning from our potential users.
Collaboration among healthcare stakeholders
The development team, healthcare professionals, and patients must collaborate after the app is developed to provide a superior user experience. We build a close working relationship with healthcare professionals and patients by involving them in the design and development. We take their feedback seriously and incorporate their views to align with the needs and changes of the healthcare industry and users.
Clinical features
For applications that relate to health, clinical validation ensures that all important ‘clinical’ features are accurate and safe. It is these features that are the building blocks of healthcare apps: an app that monitoring vital signs, or helping to plan or manage a chronic condition or assisting with diagnosis are only as good as these tools. Clinical validation is necessary for us to validate that the tools operate under real world conditions, and that outcomes are what is expected.
Validation by healthcare professionals
Seeking the approval of medical professionals is another important step to granted clinical validation.We work closely alongside doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners on how the features might be deployed in practice. Practically speaking, their involvement improves interoperability with existing medical systems.
Conducting thorough testing
Another crucial step in clinical validation is conducting thorough testing, which involves rigorous testing protocols to test an app’s performance, reliability, and safety when used in real-world conditions. We include useability testing, clinical trials, and stress testing of the app to determine its ability to deliver accurate results across different usage scenarios. This way, we can detect and rectify issues before an app is launched, reducing the likelihood of errors and ensuring that the delivered app is of a high quality and safety.
