Telemedicine App Development In Brief

At our telemedicine app development company, a telehealth app development starts with the Discovery Phase.

Once the project is greenlit, our skilled business analysts research the market and collect the latest user expectations for a telemedicine app. We work on the project roadmap, which includes settling on a timeline, a budget, and clear project goals. These guidelines will provide our development teams with the project deliverables they must observe.

While we develop your app, our best software developers will work in highly collaborative teams where your requirements are front of mind. Our telemedicine app development company has hand-picked and groomed top quality business analysts, regulatory experts, UI and UX designers, DevOps engineers, front and back end telemedicine app developers, and project managers to bring your app to life.

During the prototype stage, we present you with a working model of how the app will look. We take your feedback and recommendations throughout the process. Our methods are fluid, flexible, and responsive. We operate with speed and accuracy because we know that you want to take part in the new wave of telemedicine as soon as possible.

Once the telemedicine app development solution is ready, we put it through real-life testing. Our quality assurance teams check for speed and performance in market conditions. After launching your app on the big day, we will still be there to provide after-launch support in case there are any bugs or if you need upgrades based on user feedback.

Telemedicine App Features

Core Telemedicine App Features

Patient portal – This is where basic processes like patient registration happen. Upfront details such as patient questionnaires and details of any symptoms are loaded. Medical history and clinical details can also be loaded. Some apps have a payment gateway that allows patients to settle their accounts easily.

Provider portal – Here, medical practitioners can manage patient appointments and scheduling details. They can perform virtual consultations, chat with patients, analyze their clinical data, and arrive at a diagnosis.

Video conference – With the advent of reliable high quality video and audio with low latency, patients and doctors can now discuss the patient’s case virtually. Safety is paramount, and this feature must contain the best encryption to avoid unwanted third parties entering the call.

Chat feature – Patients are now accustomed to using text services in other areas of their lives. Direct messaging using social media is an accepted norm, so it is a welcome addition to the telemedicine world where patients and doctors can send short-form texts to each other.

Cloud database – Telemedicine apps must be cloud-enabled. This secure method is the modern standard for storing high volumes of confidential files. Therefore, integration with cloud infrastructure is non-negotiable for a telemedicine app.

User access control – In keeping with safety measures, apps must now be able to verify user identification for both doctors and patients.

Advanced Telemedicine App Features

These features may not be found in all telemedicine apps, but as telehealth matures and patients come to expect more from telemedicine apps, the feature list is growing.

Many apps now have detailed profiles of doctors and practitioners so patients can read their resumes before making a booking. Group chats are important and are becoming more popular as patients might need to be in the same virtual room with more than one medical professional. Prescription services are getting more advanced as prescriptions can now be linked directly to the patient’s pharmacy of choice.

Some apps now integrate geo-locations for vulnerable patients who might need to be tracked during emergencies. Other advanced features include video recording functionality so patients can send recorded messages to doctors. Some apps contain advanced features like medication trackers, lab integrations, and insurance company integrations.

Benefits of Telemedicine Software Development

Improved Patient Outcomes

Patients are able to get access to their records and speak to doctors from the convenience of their own homes. However, it is not simply about convenience, the power of the system comes when doctors can analyze patient data and spot trends that allow them to make more informed diagnoses.

Decreased Transportation Costs For Patients

Gone are the days when patients need to travel to a medical facility. In rural communities, distances can be vast. Even in urban settings, the disruption of an unwell patient traveling on crowded public transport is highly uncomfortable.

Reduced Hospital Staffing Costs

Efficient telemedicine apps remove a lot of manual work that has been part of traditional practices for decades. Therefore, there is more to it than simply reducing staff numbers. It is more about optimizing staff so that there are no resource shortages and the staff who are there do not get burnt out.

Increased Patient Access To Specialists

It is a common challenge for patients to access in-demand specialists. Long waiting times frustrate patients and expose them to pain and suffering. Telemedicine apps allow busy specialists to attend to many more patients than before.

Improved Efficiency For Practices

Overall efficiency goes through the roof with a properly installed and managed telemedicine system. With more control over their workflow, doctors can book optimally, leading to the best use of their time. This has downstream effects on the whole operation as support structures such as diagnostics and administration are never too busy or not busy enough. Hire our telemedicine app development company to ensure that all these benefits are delivered to your application.

S-PRO Telemedicine App Development Plan

The first step in telehealth app development is product discovery. This is where we spend time helping you understand how your healthcare app can fit into your organization’s workflow. Together we establish your app requirements and specifications so we can create deliverables around them.

The next step of our telemedicine application development services is roadmapping, where you sign off on the project and formulate a project plan indicating the key milestones of the process.

After that, you enter the quality assurance and testing phase where we test your platform on all major devices and operating systems. We conduct unit testing and beta testing to check for performance issues.

Finally, it is time to launch. This is where you deploy the product to market and start to use it as part of your new workflow.

Sourcing Models of Telemedicine App Development

You can choose from a few different types of sourcing models to get to where you need to go. These include:

In-house Telemedicine App Development Solutions

In this model, the app development is in your control, which can give you a sense of comfort that you have visibility of the costs and the timelines. However, in our experience, there is always the chance of delays and budget overruns as this is not your core business and you may not have the correct resources and specialists in your team.

Semi Outsourced Model

With this method, you outsource only a part of the requirement. Typically, you would partner with an experienced telemedicine app development company that has experience in this field. In this instance, the biggest challenge is to get on the same page with regards to cooperation and mutually agreed on timelines and reporting structures, especially when projects go over time. In this model, you can partner with an experienced software development company like S-PRO.

Fully Outsourced Model

The best part of this model is that resource usage is optimized as your telemedicine app development company is an expert in this area and can use prior project experience to correctly estimate resources, budgets, and timelines.

There are fewer shortfalls as you are engaging with a telemedicine app developer that you vet beforehand. At the time of project consultation, you can agree on firm deadlines for your partner to work towards.

There is a risk that you outsource your whole project to a company that could let you down. This has been known to happen, which is why it is best to perform thorough due diligence before appointing the right partner.
