Healthcare app development, from the patient app to the EHR.
We build patient mobile apps, telehealth platforms and provider dashboards, integrated with the EHRs you run and designed HIPAA-aware from the first commit. One published build cost $124,000, launched a week early and enrolled 1,200 patients in its first 90 days.
What a healthcare app has to get right that other apps do not.
A healthcare app is judged by people who are often older, often unwell and always short of time, and by clinicians who will only use it if it saves them work. In the telehealth platform we built for a chronic-care company, logging daily vitals takes under a minute on a large-type, high-contrast app, and coordinators see risk-coloured panels and alerts they set per patient. Daily vitals adherence rose from 34% to 78%, and each coordinator went from managing 50 patients to 180.
The other half is the plumbing. That platform reads and writes Epic, Cerner and athenahealth over SMART on FHIR through one normalization layer, and the HIPAA-aware infrastructure (private network, encrypted database and storage, audit logging, MFA for providers) went up before any application code. It cost $124,000 over five months and launched a week ahead of a health-system deadline.
What we build for care providers and healthtech companies.
Apps patients finish, dashboards clinicians trust, and the integrations that keep both in step with the chart.
Patient mobile apps
React Native apps for vitals, medication reminders and messages, designed for older users: large type, large touch targets, entry in under a minute.
Telehealth and secure messaging
Video visits and secure messaging between patients and care teams, with every access logged.
Provider dashboards
Risk-stratified panels, vitals trends over 30, 90 and 180 days, and alert thresholds set per patient with audited acknowledgment.
EHR integration
SMART on FHIR authorization, patient matching and two-way sync with Epic, Cerner and athenahealth, normalized into one data model.
Booking and intake
Self-serve booking with two-way reminders, and intake on web, tablet or kiosk with eligibility checks before the visit.
HIPAA-aware infrastructure
Private networking, encrypted storage, field-level PHI encryption, role-based access, session timeouts and audit logging, set up before the app.
How a healthcare app build runs.
Map the clinical workflow
We watch the people who will use it. On the telehealth build, two weeks with coordinators surfaced requirements nobody had written down.
Infrastructure first
The HIPAA-aware environment, access controls and audit logging go up before application code.
Build in phases
Patient app, provider dashboard, then the EHR integration, each demoed on staging with synthetic data.
Test and launch
Alert thresholds checked against synthetic patient datasets, then a staged launch with the clinical team.
Published prices, mapped to the job.
Every price here is the same one on the pricing page. Work with no published price gets a fixed price in writing before it starts.
Figures in the notes are what past clients paid, from the published case studies; they show the range, not a rate card. Work with no natural end, such as ongoing development, is priced per engineer per month with no lock-in.
When to hire us for this, and when not to.
- You run a healthtech company, a care program or a multi-location medical group.
- Patients or clinicians need an app, not another form.
- It has to read from and write to the EHR you already run.
- The software diagnoses or treats, which makes it a regulated medical device. That needs a regulatory pathway we do not run.
- You want an off-the-shelf EHR or practice-management system. Buy one; we can integrate it.
- You run a single dental practice or med spa. Our flat monthly plans for those fit better.
Three healthcare builds in production.
A telehealth platform, a 14-location intake rebuild and a dental booking system, each with the numbers.
HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform with 3 EHR integrations enrolled 1,200 patients in 90 days and backed a $4.5M Series A.
Unified HIPAA-aware intake with EHR integration cut intake/admin time 41% and lifted clinician throughput 16% across 14 locations.
HIPAA-aware self-serve booking with two-way reminders lifted kept appointments 27% and cut no-shows 29% across 6 dental locations.
These are past engagements at the prices those clients paid. For build price, monthly cost and payback side by side, see what ten client projects cost.
Healthcare app development, answered
How much does healthcare app development cost?
Our published telehealth platform, with a patient app, a provider dashboard and two-way integration with three EHRs, cost $124,000 over five months, with maintenance and support at $5,500 a month after launch. Smaller builds such as booking or intake have taken 9 to 12 weeks. You get a fixed price in writing after scoping.
How long does it take to build a telehealth app?
The published platform took five months: one month of workflow mapping and infrastructure, two months on the patient app and provider dashboard, one month of EHR integration and one of testing. It launched a week ahead of its deadline.
Which EHRs can the app integrate with?
Our published work integrates Epic, Cerner and athenahealth over SMART on FHIR, and other systems through an HL7/FHIR bridge using vendor APIs and Redox. Each EHR implements FHIR differently, so we map them into one internal data model.
Is the app HIPAA compliant?
Compliance comes from how a system is built and run, not from a label. We design HIPAA-aware architecture, sign a BAA for engagements that touch PHI, encrypt data in transit and at rest, log every access and use synthetic data in development. We do not claim a certification we do not hold.
Do you build software that makes clinical decisions?
No. Software that diagnoses or treats is a regulated medical device. Our apps collect, show and route clinical information; clinicians make the decisions.
Who owns the app and the code?
You do. The code lives in your repositories with documentation and a hand-over, and you can keep us on for support or run it yourself.
