Developing a healthcare application is no simple task. Most applications in the healthcare space need to be HIPAA-compliant, ADA-compliant, and user-friendly for every type of patient that comes to you seeking help.
Crowdbotics provides managed app development to help healthcare providers build patient-facing, vendor-specific, or administrative tools. Our custom software solutions for hospitals and independent physicians can improve operations, simplify billing, and deliver better patient outcomes.
One of the first steps you need to take before embarking on a healthcare app development project is to define the purpose of your app. You need to know from the first day of work who your application is intended to serve and how it will help.
The features of a healthcare app will differ depending on whether you’re trying to help healthcare professionals or patients.
Healthcare app solutions for professionals and providers usually include features that increase efficiencies, enable better team collaboration, enhance communication, and create stronger relationships between doctors and nurses and the patients they encounter while on the job.
Healthcare apps for patients usually include features that make medical records more accessible, facilitate appointment scheduling, improve patient experience, enable communication with care providers, and provide helpful resources and guidance to people when they need help.
The following use cases are often the most beneficial for your industry. Click to learn more:

Read the full success storyOur process leverages a simple truth about software development: most new applications look like applications that have been built before.
No matter how unique your idea is, there are fundamental best practices and code packages that are used by developers across the globe to build leading applications.
Rather than reinvent the wheel for each new app, our platform offers a growing catalog of prebuilt app features and product specs for you to pull right off of the shelf.
This enables us to assemble the basic structure of your application instantaneously, leaving more time for customization and fine-tuning.

Building a healthcare app can be a lot of work, but there are clear benefits that can come as a result of going through the process:
Improve Patient Experience
Developing healthcare apps can help you provide a better experience to patients coming to you to receive care.
Differentiate From Local Competitors
Developing healthcare apps can help you provide more services and value to patients, which makes it easier to differentiate from other local competitors.
Improve Hospital Efficiencies
Developing healthcare apps can help you improve efficiencies throughout your organization, such as scheduling staff, managing patient appointments, keeping records up-to-date, or managing billing.
Accelerate Patient Throughput
Developing healthcare apps can help you accelerate the time it takes to move patients through the process of receiving care and services from your hospital.
Create More Revenue Through Innovation
Developing healthcare apps can bring new innovation to your organization, which in turn could help you create more revenue opportunities.
Crowdbotics enables you to easily build the following healthcare API integrations in to your app:
Based on our internal data, an average health care app usually costs $30,156 to build. However, the total cost can be as low as $9,000 or as high as $76,000. A health care app with a low number of features (also known as a "minimum viable product", or MVP) will be more affordable than an app that includes all intended functionality.
Consumer-focused health care apps, such as medication trackers, will be more affordable than business applications, such as an ERP system for a large hospital network.
A health care app usually takes a little over 300 hours of development time to build. However, a health care app can be built in as few as 70 hours, or in as many as 500 hours. The exact timeline mostly depends on how complicated your app is. As a general rule, it will take longer if you require highly custom designs, niche features, or non-standard release platforms.
As with any type of innovation, there are risks and challenges associated with developing a healthcare application.
