FemTech App Development Company

Custom software for women's health startups, fertility clinics, maternal health platforms, and menopause wellness brands whose product requirements (clinical data accuracy, wearable integration, HIPAA compliance, or EHR connectivity) have outgrown what general health app templates and off-the-shelf wellness tools can deliver.

  • Cycle tracking and fertility monitoring apps with ML-driven ovulation prediction, basal body temperature analysis, and hormone data integration

  • Maternal health platforms with prenatal and postpartum care workflows, telehealth consults, and remote patient monitoring via wearables

  • Menopause management software with symptom logging, HRT tracking, clinician review dashboards, and longitudinal health analytics

  • Clinical data collection tools built for HIPAA compliance, FHIR interoperability, and EHR integration with Epic and NextGen

The problem

Sound familiar?

  • Building a fertility or cycle tracking app on a generic health platform that can't handle the clinical data model your medical advisor or FDA pathway requires?

  • Losing prospective users because your menopause or maternal health platform has no wearable sync, no clinician dashboard, and no way to share data with an OB-GYN or specialist?

  • Spending weeks manually aggregating cycle, lab, and symptom data from separate tools because nothing connects to your EHR or FHIR-compliant clinical system?

Short answer

RaftLabs builds custom femtech software for women's health startups, fertility clinics, maternal health platforms, and menopause wellness brands. We ship cycle tracking apps, fertility monitoring platforms, clinical data collection tools, and menopause management software with wearable and EHR integrations, built with HIPAA-grade access controls. Most femtech builds launch a validated v1 in 12 to 16 weeks at a fixed, agreed cost, then grow from there.

01 Diagnosis

Where femtech platforms usually break

  1. 01
    Problem

    A general EMR models one patient rather than a couple

    Solution

    IVF clinics report three structural failures in legacy EMRs: a general EMR models one patient rather than a couple, so the second partner has no proper clinical identity. It models episodic visits rather than a continuous cycle. And it treats the laboratory as a results feed rather than an operational engine. Embryo data lives on standalone drives or scattered folders.Fertility clinic patients arrive at appointments with data spread across a period tracking app, a wearable export CSV, a lab portal PDF, and a paper symptom diary. A unified fertility data platform pulls cycle logs, basal body temperature from wearables, hormone panel results from lab integrations, and symptom annotations into a single timeline the clinician sees before the appointment starts. The outcome is the right data at the right moment, not reconstructed after it.

  2. 02
    Problem

    Your menopause platform collects symptom logs but has no clinician review layer

    Solution

    Symptom tracking without a clinical review pathway is a consumer wellness feature, not a health platform. Women logging hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, and HRT side effects need those logs to reach a clinician who can adjust their treatment plan. When the app has no clinician dashboard, no alert rules for symptom severity thresholds, and no way to share a structured summary with a GP or menopause specialist, the data accumulates and helps no one.A menopause management platform with a clinician-facing dashboard, configurable alert thresholds, and a structured summary export converts symptom logs into clinical evidence. Women get faster treatment adjustments. Clinicians get the longitudinal picture without asking patients to describe six months of symptoms from memory. The outcome is symptom data that changes treatment.

  3. 03
    Problem

    Your maternal health app has no way to flag risk signals between appointments

    Solution

    Pregnancy complications often show early signals in blood pressure readings, weight changes, fetal movement counts, and glucose logs taken between clinical appointments. When those readings go into a consumer tracking app with no alert logic and no connection to the care team, the window to intervene closes before anyone acts on the signal.A maternal health platform with remote patient monitoring, configurable clinical alert rules, and a two-way messaging layer between the patient and the care team converts between-appointment data into between-appointment care. Risk signals reach a midwife or OB-GYN when the reading is taken, not when the next appointment happens to fall. The outcome is care that doesn't wait for the appointment.

  4. 04
    Problem

    Privacy by architecture, not by policy

    Solution

    A privacy policy is a promise, and a promise from a company that holds your data is only as good as the company. Menstrual data isn't protected by HIPAA in most consumer apps. Embedded analytics SDKs are the leak. Users delete the product itself when trust breaks, and the survival of femtech comes down to whether users trust the application with their sensitive health data.We build privacy by architecture: data minimisation, no third-party analytics SDKs in the data path, encryption at rest and in transit, granular consent for every data use category, and full data export and deletion. HIPAA-grade architecture with strict access controls is built from the start, not retrofitted after a hospital system or investor runs due diligence. The outcome is a platform a compliance review confirms rather than condemns.

02 What we ship

FemTech software we build

  1. Cycle tracking and period apps

    We build cycle tracking platforms with ML-driven ovulation and fertile window prediction that factors in cycle length history, basal body temperature trends, LH surge data, and lifestyle variables including sleep, stress, and activity. Symptom logging captures mood, energy, cramping, flow, and custom user-defined observations across the full cycle. Notifications fire at cycle phase transitions, predicted fertile days, and late period alerts.

    Wearable integration via Apple HealthKit, Google Health Connect, and Oura API pulls temperature and heart rate variability data into the prediction model automatically. Users do not need to manually export from their wearable and import into the app. The outcome is predictions accurate enough for clinical trust, not just engagement.

  2. Fertility monitoring and clinic platforms

    Fertility clinic platforms require a data model that handles IUI and IVF treatment cycles, triggered monitoring protocols, lab result intake from LIMS integrations, and medication tracking with dose logging. The clinician dashboard surfaces the right patient signals at the right time. We build each component to your clinic's specific protocols rather than forcing your clinical workflow into a generic EMR template.

    Patient-facing apps connect to the clinic platform via FHIR R4 APIs so patients log symptoms, take temperature readings, and receive triggered instructions without a phone call to the front desk. Clinic coordinators see a real-time dashboard of active cycles with alert flags for readings outside protocol thresholds. The outcome is a clinic platform that models couples and cycles, not single patients and visits.

  3. Maternal health and pregnancy platforms

    Prenatal care platforms connect expectant mothers to their care team between appointments through structured check-ins, remote patient monitoring for blood pressure and glucose, fetal movement logging, and a two-way messaging layer with midwives and OB-GYNs. Configurable alert rules flag readings outside safe thresholds so the care team acts before the next appointment rather than after the next crisis.

    Postpartum care modules extend the platform through the fourth trimester: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale assessments, feeding and sleep logging, lactation support workflows, and care team escalation paths for mental health concerns. The platform connects to Epic or Cerner via SMART on FHIR so data moves between the app and the clinical record without manual re-entry. The outcome is continuous care from conception to the postpartum period.

  4. Menopause management software

    Menopause platforms need more than a hot flush counter. We build symptom logging across the full menopause symptom spectrum (vasomotor, psychological, and musculoskeletal) with severity scoring that produces a structured clinical summary rather than a raw log. HRT tracking records type, dose, and administration route with side effect logging linked to medication changes so clinicians can see cause and effect in one timeline.

    Clinician dashboards surface symptom trends, HRT adherence, and severity threshold alerts. Integration with the NHS App or private GP booking systems lets women start a clinical review directly from within the platform when symptom patterns warrant it. Telehealth consult modules connect for in-app video appointments without sending the user to a separate tool. The outcome is menopause care with a clinical layer.

  5. Women's clinical data collection tools

    Clinical trial recruitment and data collection for women's health research (endometriosis, PCOS, premature ovarian insufficiency, and menstrual disorder studies) requires a participant-facing data entry experience that improves adherence and a backend that produces trial-ready structured data. We build eCOA (electronic clinical outcome assessment) tools with validated questionnaire modules, PRO (patient-reported outcome) capture, and an audit trail that meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records requirements.

    FHIR R4 data models confirm structured clinical data is exportable to research databases, CTMS platforms, and regulatory submissions without manual re-formatting. Consent management captures granular, timestamped consent for each data use category so the consent record is audit-ready at every stage of the trial. The outcome is trial data that satisfies the regulator.

  6. Telehealth and care coordination platforms

    Women's health telehealth platforms need asynchronous and synchronous care pathways. In-app video consults. Secure message threads with read receipts. Prescription management with integration to pharmacy dispensing APIs. And a care coordinator layer that routes patients to the right clinician based on presenting concern and availability. Messaging with HIPAA-grade access controls logs every communication event in a full audit trail.

    Specialist referral pathways (from a GP to a gynaecologist, from a menopause nurse to a menopause specialist) work through the same platform rather than requiring the patient to register in a separate system. Care continuity data travels with the referral: the symptom history and treatment record the next clinician needs is ready before the appointment, not requested from scratch. The outcome is referrals that carry the patient's history.

03 Buy, build, or wait

The femtech software decision is usually about trust: who holds the data, what the model assumes, and whether the architecture survives scrutiny.

Stay on the platform

  • Flo, Clue, Natural Cycles

    When a consumer template covers your use case and your data practices are standard.

Build custom

  • When privacy must be by architecture

    A policy is only as good as the company. Build data minimisation, no ad SDKs, and export from day one.

  • When the EMR models the wrong thing

    One patient instead of a couple, visits instead of cycles. Build the data model your clinic runs on.

  • When clinical partners run due diligence

    Gaps in consent, logging, and audit trails stop partnerships. Build compliance from the start.

Bottom line

Stay on the platform while the template fits and the data practices hold. Build when trust, the clinical model, or the compliance architecture demand more.

04 How we work

How we build femtech software

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map your clinical workflow, your user population, and the regulatory path your product sits on. For femtech, this means understanding which data types you collect (reproductive health, clinical measurements, or both), whether HIPAA applies to your specific product model, and which wearable or EHR integrations are on the critical path for launch. Fixed-price scope is agreed before development begins. The risk this retires: the regulatory path discovered after the build.
  2. 02

    Design

    We build the data model around the specific femtech product: the cycle and clinical data schema, the FHIR resource mapping for EHR connectivity, the consent management architecture, and the clinician dashboard data flows. Compliance requirements (HIPAA encryption standards, audit logging, role-based access) are factored into the system design before any code is written. You review a working prototype before the production build starts. The risk this retires: the consent model the audit rejects.
  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints with working software at each checkpoint. Core tracking and user-facing features ship first. Wearable integrations, clinician dashboards, and EHR connectivity follow in subsequent sprints. HIPAA technical safeguards (encryption, access controls, and audit logging) are in place from the first sprint, not added at the end. The risk this retires: the safeguard retrofitted after go-live.
  4. 04

    Launch

    Phased go-live starting with a defined user cohort before full release. Monitoring and alerting cover app performance, data pipeline integrity, and wearable sync failure rates. Post-launch support handles regulatory changes, product iterations, and the clinical workflow adjustments that surface once real patients and clinicians are using the platform daily. The risk this retires: the full release before the trust model is proven.

09 Questions

Common questions

Yes. HIPAA compliance architecture (BAAs with cloud providers, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs, access controls, and minimum necessary data principles) is designed into every femtech build from the discovery phase. We do not retrofit compliance after go-live. For apps that collect reproductive or clinical health data, we treat HIPAA as a hard constraint on the architecture, not an optional feature.

Yes. We connect femtech platforms to wearable data sources via Apple HealthKit, Google Health Connect, Oura API, Garmin Connect API, and Fitbit Web API. Basal body temperature, heart rate variability, sleep stages, and activity data feed directly into cycle and fertility tracking logic. We also build the data normalisation layer so readings from different wearable brands are comparable within your platform.

Yes. We build FHIR R4-compliant data layers and connect femtech platforms to Epic, NextGen, Cerner, and other EHR systems via SMART on FHIR authentication. This lets clinicians pull verified patient data (hormone levels, past lab results, cycle history) directly into your platform and push structured clinical observations back to the EHR without manual re-entry.

A focused v1 (cycle tracking with predictive analytics, user profiles, and a basic clinician view) launches in 12 to 16 weeks. It grows from there: telehealth, wearable sync, and clinical data collection built with HIPAA-grade access controls. A full femtech platform with EHR integration, fertility clinic workflows, and regulatory documentation for FDA SaMD submission is scoped separately. Fixed cost is agreed before development begins.

Yes. We build fertility clinic software covering patient intake and onboarding, cycle monitoring dashboards with triggered alert rules, lab result integration, IVF and IUI treatment tracking, clinician scheduling, and patient communication. The platform connects to your existing LIMS or EHR via FHIR APIs so cycle data and treatment outcomes sit in one place rather than across spreadsheets and separate systems.

We build femtech software to the technical standards that SaMD FDA submissions require: risk classification documentation, software development lifecycle records, clinical validation evidence support, and audit-ready architecture. We are not a regulatory consultancy, but we structure the build so your regulatory advisor has the technical artefacts they need for a 510(k) or De Novo submission. We work alongside your FDA regulatory partner, not instead of them.

The survival of femtech comes down to whether users trust the application with their sensitive health data. We build privacy by architecture, not by policy. Data minimisation so we never hold what we don't need. No third-party analytics SDKs in the data path. Encryption at rest and in transit. Granular consent for every data use category. Full data export and deletion so users can take their years of health data with them. If we can't see it, we can't sell it: and we can't sell what we don't have.
