Posted By : Abhinav Srivastava | 03-Dec-2020

The coronavirus pandemic has provided the impetus to healthcare applications in the market.

 

Healthcare Mobile App Development

 

Since health is always the priority, and the virus has stressed upon it, startups are in search of solutions. Building an all-around healthcare application is the need of the hour because people are willing to stay at home. As a mobile application development company, we keep exploring the latest trends and technologies to integrate into an app for the best output.

 

In this article, we have outlined some of the key features to include in a healthcare app to make it popular among the users.

 

Wearable Device Integration

 

Enabling users to monitor health on-the-go is one of the indispensable features to have in your healthcare app. Hence, wearable device integration capabilities in the app is a must. Using the device, users can monitor their heart rate, sugar levels, blood oxygen level, blood pressure, among others. The wearable device integration also allows users to save their data for future reference.

AI and ML Integration

 

Data mining and data analytics are vital for an app to provide the best service. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are the best technologies available to make the most of users’ data. Integrating AI and ML in the application can assist users in identifying any patterns and make them aware of any issues in advance. AI and ML can provide important insights about a person’s fitness and can raise the alarm for timely attention.

 

Cloud Integration

 

If you are building a healthcare app, you would want to provide seamless access to data to your users. Cloud integration can make this happen, as it allows users to save their critical medical information such as prescriptions, test reports, images, etc., on the cloud. With cloud integration, users can quickly access their information anywhere, anytime, on any device by simply logging into accounts.

 

Blockchain

 

The new-age blockchain technology can make your healthcare app immune to cyber-attacks. Blockchain is gradually becoming one of the fundamental aspects of the mobile app development world. If you want to increase the security of your applications and keep everything in sync, you can rely on blockchain. As it works on a cryptographic network, it makes online transactions highly secure so that your users can freely consult with their doctors and make payments.

 

Multi-device Support

 

Probably the most basic yet crucial feature of a healthcare app, this feature enables users to access their data from any device, be it Android or iOS. If you are solely focusing on any one platform, you must ensure that it supports every version of that platform. Also, you can always hire a professional mobile app development company to make your app a one-stop solution for your users by integrating several features.

  • On-demand Doctor App: The pandemic has significantly upsurge the demand for consulting doctors from home and on-demand. For trivial reasons, people are booking online consultations and seek advice.
