Consumer health apps have been incorporated into consumer health informatics as tools that support a patient-centered healthcare model by allowing consumers to monitor their health-related problems, understand specific medical conditions, and achieve personal fitness goals. With the help of healthcare mobile app development, doctors and pharmacists can provide safer and more effective care with the help of a patient self-monitor. Patients can also self-monitor their treatment and increase adherence to therapy.

What is Healthcare App Development?

Healthcare app development is the process of creating a mobile app that allows users to submit and track their health issues in real time.

Groove Technology - Healthcare App Development Services - Intro

Healthcare mobile app development serves a variety of functions.

  • For medical professionals. A doctor’s application will aid in patient tracking and monitoring, appointment scheduling, and staff management.
  • For Patients’ Sake. Patients require digital health solutions to book appointments, communicate with their doctors, and even receive recommendations.

Trends in healthcare mobile apps

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, big data, and chatbots are not the future but the trendy present for pharmaceutical companies. With several advantages over clinical decision-making and traditional analytics, AI opens up many opportunities for the healthcare sector.

When learning algorithms interact with training data, they can become more accurate and precise, allowing medical practitioners to gain unprecedented insights into treatment variability, patient outcomes, and diagnostics. Keeping up with digital transformation in healthcare requires adapting to the digital era and avoiding obsolete business processes.

Groove Technology - Healthcare App Development Services - Trends

Consumer Focus In Healthcare

In 2021, we will see a shift in healthcare technology development. Previously, doctors, scientists, and insurance companies guided technological development to gather the necessary information. We are now witnessing the emergence of a patient-centered approach that recognizes the value of the patient experience. How can you make a patient’s life easier? How can we add value to the user’s experience?

These questions must be addressed. As a result, the focus of healthcare in 2021 will be on improving patient experience and medicine’s effectiveness. We anticipate a shift toward what we refer to as consumer orientation. Healthcare app developers and providers will use healthcare mobile app development to provide value-added services and attract more patients, increasing their value.

Interoperability

Interoperability in healthcare enables data from multiple health information networks to be shared and accessed by a clinician, lab, or hospital — regardless of the system or application being used — to provide the best care possible. It occurs when hardware and software from disparate systems freely communicate and exchange data. There are three levels of interoperability: functional, structural, and semantic.

Telemedicine

Previously, people were hesitant to use telemedicine. Many people have realized that it is quick, convenient, and high quality. The full potential of this technology was revealed with the outbreak of the pandemic. It is beneficial to both patients and medical professionals. Every major scientific conference has gone online. Face-to-face measures used to be the only option, but there has been a forced shift.

Integration with medical equipment

Integration of telemedicine platforms with equipment is beneficial in a variety of situations. The application will assist you in connecting multiple medical devices to collect real-time patient readings and correlate and interpret the results, or you can develop an API for remote access to devices that will assist in tracking patients’ vital signs.

Remote Monitoring Of Elderly Patients

Remote patient monitoring will continue to improve in 2021. This type of healthcare mobile app development will skyrocket, as will the development of even more tools to aid in the provision of care. Apps can assist with medication management and appointment reminders, and chatbots and other digital devices can promote healthy aging.

Supplemented Intelligence to Support Clinical Decision Making

Pharmaceutical companies use artificial intelligence to discover and develop new drugs and vaccines. There are numerous opportunities for AI in healthcare, particularly in clinical decision-making, to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases. It will likely be one of the most extensive areas in which AI will evolve in 2021.

While artificial intelligence will help calculate the likelihood of certain conditions, a doctor will make the final decision. Diagnostic systems based on machine learning are becoming more popular. Future AI/ML tools will aid in the support or protection of patients who may require assistance before an emergency arises.

Patients who forget to take their medications, take them at the wrong time, or take them in unfavorable combinations could, for example, be prioritized for nurse visits, phone calls, or counseling and education.

Types of Healthcare Apps?

The type of application impacts the entire process of developing a mobile healthcare app. Specifically, the product’s functionality, integrations, and level of data security required vary widely. Mobile health apps are classified into two types based on their intended use: apps for consumers (the general public) and apps for health professionals and medical facilities. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular mHealth apps.

Fitness apps

Many fitness centers worldwide have temporarily closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Home workout apps’ popularity skyrocketed, according to experts. These apps are popular because they help people keep track of their health and fitness by providing various training programs at a low cost. In addition, we developed nine recommendations for developing a fitness app.

Applications for Tele-pharmacy or Drug Dispensing

It is critical to stay healthy and take your medications exactly when your body requires them, but sometimes you forget. Physicians use it to calculate individual drug doses based on the patient’s current condition, age, weight, and other personal information, avoiding time-consuming manual calculations, spreadsheets, and complex tools.

Healthcare application development can assist users in managing their medications, tracking their diseases, developing healthy habits, and sharing data with doctors and caregivers. Advanced AI and machine learning can facilitate personalization and proactive, preventative interventions.

Mobile health apps for patient-doctor communication.

One of the most in-demand types of healthcare mobile app development is this. Such apps can assist users in locating a medical specialist, scheduling an appointment, scheduling a video call, and paying for a consultation using an integrated payment gateway. Such services can increase patients’ involvement in the treatment process and increase their loyalty to the healthcare provider while increasing clinician-patient transparency.

Applications in Diet and Nutrition

Obesity-related diseases have been identified as one of the top three killers in most countries in recent years. Overweight and obesity are widespread concerns that may be treatable or preventable through the Healthcare app. There are a plethora of such applications available on the market. Nutritional (diet) recommendations, an extensive library of recipes and food descriptions, a calorie counter, a diary, and a progress chart are all included in the standard diet app suite.

Disease control and monitoring applications

These kinds of apps are in high demand these days. Disease tracking apps are being used to reduce the number of people infected with COVID-19. There are also apps for patients with memory impairments that can help users with epilepsy, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergies, and even depression monitor and predict their diet and medication.

Lifestyle apps

Some may question whether lifestyle apps are even relevant to healthcare app development. However, they are indeed a part of the healthcare industry, providing a combination of daily advice with exercises, training, or courses to improve overall mental and physical well-being.

Benefits of Healthcare Apps

As you may already realize, mobile healthcare app development has become instrumental for healthcare providers to meet the ever-changing needs of their patients and stay ahead of competitors. Those providers that team up with digital experts to strategically design and build quality mobile experiences will enhance patient loyalty, positively impacting their current and future revenue.

There are some benefits of mobile health technology:

Groove Technology - Healthcare App Development Services - Benefit

Gives patients faster access to providers and care.

Unlike traditional and inefficient telephone access to physicians and healthcare organizations, mobile health technologies allow patients to send secure messages, schedule appointments quickly, and connect to providers for telemedicine visits 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Telemedicine is one of the most popular ways for patients to use mHealth apps on their mobile devices. They appreciate the ease of conducting a provider visit on their phone or tablet and the fact that they don’t have to travel to the doctor’s office or take time off work. To meet the increased demand, most health systems are offering telemedicine visits delivered by network physicians and contracted telehealth physicians after hours and on weekends.

Medication adherence is improved.

It’s difficult to control whether or not patients take their medication after being discharged from the hospital or leaving the clinic. Or, to be honest, if they pick it up from the pharmacy. Poor medication adherence is a significant cause of poor chronic condition management in patients. It can also lead to hospital readmissions and adverse outcomes.

Health apps and mobile technology solutions help by providing patients with features such as automated medication and refill reminders and educational information, which increases the likelihood that they will take their medications correctly.

Allows for and simplifies remote patient monitoring.

Remote patient monitoring is a subcategory of home care and telehealth. Patients use mobile devices and mobile health technology to collect, enter, or automatically collect health data and transmit it to healthcare providers.

A significant step forward in care management is the ability to track patient conditions between visits and notify a clinician or care manager when the patient’s biological data puts the patient at risk. Continuous tracking and monitoring of such data would be inconvenient or impossible without mobile devices and mobile health technology, particularly wearable devices such as watches, fitness trackers, and wristbands.

Improves patient safety by increasing medication reconciliation accuracy.

Many patients do not remember the names or dosages of their medications, which is common knowledge. This is especially problematic for polypharmacy patients (those who take more than five prescription medications per day), the elderly, and other high-risk patients.

Many patients (or their caregivers or family members) are at risk because they cannot accurately recall their medication list to a physician, ED intake or hospital admission nurse, or another provider. When clinicians are unsure which medications a patient is taking, drug-to-drug interactions can occur. Adverse drug reactions can also occur when a patient is admitted to a hospital and is not prescribed a medication that they should be taking but fail to report.

Improves communication and coordination among providers.

Connecting with colleagues, coworkers, and patients is difficult, given most providers’ full appointment schedules, long days, and multiple facility coverage requirements. Using secure messaging and texting, mobile health record access, and cellular phone calls, mobile health technology improves the ability to connect across the health system and with referring physicians and office staff.

Groove manages the entire development process, including team organization and management, quality of results, and associated risks. We have expanded our horizons from native app development to cross-platform app development.
