A checklist for Healthcare Mobile App Development

Mobile Application is not limited to patients only. Healthcare practitioners also benefits from

healthcare mobile apps with easy access to information, streamlined workflow management

and effective remote patient monitoring.

Here are few pointers that you should keep in mind before healthcare mobile
app development.

#1. UNDERSTAND YOUR  AUDIENCE

This is the first step in the mobile app development process. Always understand who your

audience is and there needs. Undoubtedly, this process will let you determine the core

functionality of your  mobile health app. You do not want to bombard your users with

complex feature that will make little sense.

#2. SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

The rapid proliferation of mobile devices and increasing awareness about reduced healthcare
costs due to remote monitoring of certain chronic diseases has resulted in rapid growth of
healthcare apps. In particular, the rise of healthcare mobile apps has been phenomenal in
regions like Latin America and Asia Pacific. It is important to consider creating apps in
different languages to leverage international market.

#3. SECURITY & PRIVACY

Never underestimate the importance of privacy and confidentiality in health care applications.
Remember, extremely sensitive user information is at stake. Keep in mind that privacy laws
vary based on states or countries. This makes it very important you are aware of various
security and privacy laws related to the location you are working.

#4. THINK DISCRETE

Despite technological progress, people suffering from certain medical and health conditions
still face stigma by fellow workers, healthcare professionals, insurance companies and
employers (existing & prospective). This mindset makes it imperative to consider how your  
target audience can use your app discreetly in public places without attractive eyeballs. your
app branding should clarify the purpose of logo to someone seeking help and at the same
time should indiscernible to others who check the phone. It calls for being conservative with
your  design.

#5. MAKE IT ENGAGING

Try to focus on creating a community of users, by allowing people to share information such
as share workout data and photos on Facebook and twitter. App can also let users brows
friends’ profiles and comments on their workouts and photos.

Who says healthcare apps need to be boring? Successful apps need to engage users and
persuade users to come back. your application needs to showcase compelling features,
robust performance and intuitive designs.
