HealthTech Software Development

Software development for the healthcare industry is a process of building reliable solutions to serve different purposes, for example: patient engagement, analytics, automation and SI (System Integration), patient data management, video conferencing, telehealth and telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, symptom tracking, and more.

Software development services allow healthcare organizations to improve patient engagement and overall care, streamline work processes and even reduce costs. How do you make it possible? HealthTech apps can analyze different kinds of clinical information, support lab research, provide diagnoses, monitor patients remotely, analyze treatments, manage medical data, protect information privacy, reduce errors and automate routine activities.

There are several limitations that make medical software less convenient to use. The main risk is cybersecurity issues. They may cause exposure or loss of patient data and other Protected Health Information such as blood test results, prescriptions, billing information, etc. This is why cybersecurity solution development is so important in the healthcare industry. One more challenge is miscommunication between patients and doctors caused by the use of telemedicine apps. Whether it is bad Internet connection or the lack of interpersonal communication, an advanced technology solution may be not enough for correct diagnosis.

Services of creating any HeathTech solution will have multiple steps, starting with interviews, discussions, and analysis of the market, similar solutions, and target users. This information helps to create a comprehensive project architecture and UX/UI design, developing a reliable and easy-to-use solution.

There are different kinds of HealthTech solutions, for example, AI-based software for data analytics, EMR and EHR management systems, IoT-based patient monitoring systems, medical reference mobile apps, and more. We are a development company that works with all popular types of applications for this industry.

Connected healthtech solutions may be different in form and purpose, for example:

• Telemedicine software;
• Solutions for RPM (remote patient monitoring);
• Applications for electronic prescriptions;
• Diagnosis applications;
• Solutions for digital transformation and system integration;
• CRM systems for the healthcare industry;
• Hospital Management Systems or HMS.

A healthcare software developer is a specialist that engineers software solutions for doctors, hospitals, medical labs, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers. This professional knows the right programming languages and frameworks to make a robust, secure and scalable solution. An experienced HealthTech developer also understands the industry challenges and easily works with modern technologies such as Machine Learning, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, etc.

When you build a HealthTech solution, a SDLC model describes the stages and project management of the whole process. Agile is a great model for creating small and medium-sized projects. Healthcare software developers often use this model working on innovative solutions that have zero analogues on the market. In other cases, when you know the exact feature set and scope of work, the traditional Waterfall model is very effective.

Yes, we do. IoT apps is one of our specializations, which includes software for remote monitoring, wearable devices, medical equipment, and other solutions that can register the patient’s health signs and the room conditions in real time.

Yes, we do. We work with popular browsers and offer our clients the development of a Chrome extension, Safari extension, and Microsoft Edge extension expansion that all enable you to bring more features and strengthen the safety of web browsing. If you are not ready to create a full-fledged application, browser extensions may be a good alternative giving you certain functionality.

HIPAA compliance is highly important in development, because HIPAA requirements cover all aspects of cybersecurity, health record storage, and medical data privacy. HIPAA-compliant software includes encrypted messaging apps, secure cloud storage solutions, etc. Any type of HealthTech application must be compliant with HIPAA because there is patient data and other sensitive information involved.

HIPAA is a type of legislation that has important purposes:

1. Enforcing unified rules and standards for keeping, sending and editing health information.
2. Reducing fraud in the industries like health insurance and healthcare.
3. Creating clear rules for data breach notification and dealing with the issue.
4. Building the foundation to guarantee security and privacy.

We check the quality and security of our tech health solutions throughout the whole development process. Our development team is aware of the importance of saving medical data and other sensitive information from the risk of being exposed, intentionally or unintentionally. We also provide additional security solutions, such as access management tools, browser extension development services, and more.

There are many popular technologies in this industry today. Machine Learning enables comprehensive data analysis and detection of patterns, which is vital for diagnosis. Artificial Intelligence emulates certain human activities such as asking and answering questions, and also helps find better ways of treatment. The Internet of Things provides advanced capabilities for health monitoring. Other emerging technologies in healthcare are Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, boosting medical research to the next level.

Yes, we can. Cloud computing is very popular in custom healthcare software development, because making a cloud app means more flexibility and an unlimited potential to evolve.

This type of software solutions cover daily tasks of doctors, nurses, hospital managers, pharmacists, lab technicians, and other healthcare providers. Medical practice management software makes operational activity easier and more efficient, reduces redundant paperwork and decreases the risk of human error. As a result such solutions help you focus on patient care, improve work productivity, and often reduce unnecessary spending.

Here is a brief list of the tasks that such healthcare software solutions can help you handle:

• Appointment scheduling;
• Patient data management;
• Billing process management;
• Insurance payers list management;
• Keeping all necessary records for doctors or nurses;
• Providing data analytics and generating reports.

There are many significant IT challenges in this industry, and an experienced healthcare software developer should be able to overcome these challenges. Most of them are related to security and compliance in medical data management. Fraud detection in healthcare and insurance becomes highly important, just like in the Fintech industry. Some other IT challenges appear when it comes to telehealth infrastructure and system integration. One more challenge in app development for healthcare is a billing process that should always be secure and seamless.
