Mobile App Design and Development

Consider your patients. Do they:

• Have busy lifestyles and are always on the go?
• Prefer using mobile devices over desktops for accessing information?
• Regularly use apps for banking, booking travel, and ordering food?
• Increasingly seek virtual healthcare experiences?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, your patients are likely already using EHR platform apps like Epic MyChart, Athena, or Cerner HealtheLife. However, hospitals and healthcare practices can offer much more with a custom mobile app, and studies show that this is increasingly necessary.

Imagine providing your patients with a mobile app experience unique to your health system, featuring a telemedicine portal, wayfinding information, provider and location search, bill pay, appointment scheduling, and more.

To build a mobile app that integrates with EHR systems, we start by understanding your patients’ needs and examining what your competitors are doing. This information helps us set clear objectives for the app.

We know what healthcare mobile apps require:

• Sleek, simplified design: featuring a strong hierarchy of user needs.
• Clear calls-to-action: ensuring key functions are easily accessible.
• Brand integration: clearly representing your healthcare brand throughout the app.

We use the latest tools for cross-platform development on iOS and Android, such as Xamarin, Ionic, and Swift, to save time and money. Additionally, we leverage Epic integration and Cerner HealtheLife functionalities, as well as tools like Phynd data for a comprehensive find-a-doctor experience.
