Healthcare mobile app development company

A focused HIPAA-compliant patient app — core workflow, EHR data display, secure messaging, and App Store delivery — typically runs $30,000–$60,000. A full-featured telehealth platform with video sessions, scheduling, and EHR integration runs $60,000–$100,000. RPM apps with device integrations (CGM, BPM, pulse oximeter) start around $50,000 and scale with the number of device types connected. The fixed total is agreed before development starts, not an estimate with an open ceiling. Book a 30-min call to get a number for your specific project. These ranges reflect our portfolio: 15+ HIPAA-compliant products shipped across telehealth, RPM, patient portals, and clinical field tools.

Most healthcare mobile apps ship in 10–14 weeks. A patient portal with appointment management and EHR data view typically delivers in 10–12 weeks. A telehealth platform with video, scheduling, and EHR integration takes 12–16 weeks. RPM apps with multiple device integrations run 14–18 weeks. The timeline starts with one week of clinical workflow mapping before any code is written. That week produces a written scope document, a HIPAA compliance architecture outline, an EHR integration assessment, and a fixed-price quote. Development does not start until your clinical leads and IT team have reviewed and formally signed off on all four documents.

HIPAA controls are designed into the architecture before the first line of code, not retrofitted as a checklist at the end. Every healthcare app we ship includes: PHI encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3); multi-factor authentication for all users with session timeout enforcement; no PHI stored in device logs, crash reports, or local analytics libraries; role-based access so patients see only their own data; Business Associate Agreements with every infrastructure provider (AWS, Twilio, Stripe) before PHI flows to them; and a HIPAA compliance review before production deployment. We provide a documented data flow diagram and compliance summary for your legal and compliance team.

Yes. We connect via HL7 FHIR R4 for Epic App Orchard, Cerner FHIR Millennium, and Athenahealth API — patient demographics, appointments, clinical notes, results, and medication lists. Older systems that don't expose FHIR APIs are handled via HL7 v2 messaging or direct database integration where the EHR vendor allows it. The integration approach is assessed during week-one discovery so we know the exact connectivity method, authentication flow, and data scope before development starts. We test against a sandbox instance of your EHR before any production cutover. EHR integration is always two-way where the use case requires it: the app reads from the EHR and writes back (appointments, encounter notes, device readings) in the same session.

Both. Patient-facing apps: appointment booking and reminders, secure messaging with the care team, symptom and medication logging, telehealth sessions, lab results and care plan access. Clinician-facing apps: patient lists and encounter documentation, RPM dashboards with alert thresholds, clinical decision support, field visit tools for home health and district nursing, and e-prescribing. We build both from the same team in the same project where the use case requires a matched pair, so the patient experience and the clinician experience are designed to work together rather than handed off to separate vendors. This avoids the API disagreement that commonly surfaces in week 8 when two agencies are building toward each other's interface.

Flutter and React Native for iOS and Android from a single codebase — our default for healthcare apps because it halves the testing and compliance surface area. Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) when the product needs HealthKit depth, platform-exclusive APIs, or hardware integrations that cross-platform cannot handle. Backend: Node.js or Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL with row-level security for PHI, AWS for infrastructure (ECS, RDS, S3 with server-side encryption). Integration stack: HL7 FHIR R4 for EHR connectivity; Twilio Video or Daily.co for HIPAA-eligible video sessions; Dexcom, Omron, Apple HealthKit, and Google Health Connect for device data. The stack is confirmed in the project brief so your security review and compliance team can assess it before development starts.
