Our Medical App Development Process
01
Discovery and Planning
Before design and development, we first interview you to understand your product vision and business needs. To polish your ideas, we conduct product discovery to uncover pain points, compare existing apps, and outline your project scope. With these insights, we develop a comprehensive development plan for your healthcare app tailored to your budget and timeline.
02
Design and Prototyping
We design wireframes to structure your content and plan a smooth customer journey. Once validated, we create clickable prototypes showcasing key features like appointment scheduling, medical record access, or others specified in the development plan. These prototypes are tested with patients or healthcare professionals to gather feedback and refine the app.
03
Development
At this stage, our engineering team begins coding your healthcare app. We set up the app’s database, cloud capabilities, and business logic. If applicable, we also develop systems to integrate IoT devices and ensure real-time data processing. For compliance purposes, we implement measures such as firewalls, MFA, and advanced encryption to safeguard your data.
04
Testing and QA
If you also work with us for QA testing, our team can conduct functional tests, including unit and integration tests, to ensure that all parts of your app work effectively both individually and as a whole. To address potential security breaches, we simulate attacks on the app. We can also collaborate with security and compliance experts to review your app’s documentation if needed.
05
Deployment
Once all requirements are met, we deploy your healthcare platform and complete its integration with your software stack. For example, in the case of an electronic health records system, we ensure secure connections to your database and that all new PHI records are handled safely. The Uptech team also provides prompt issue resolution during the support phase.
06
Maintenance and Support
As part of our custom healthcare app development services, help and maintenance during the support phase. Our maintenance services cover bug fixes, security optimization, and performance monitoring. We continue to partner with you for future feature rollouts and feedback-based improvements and ensure ongoing compliance with your app.
