How-to-develop-a-Telemedicine-App

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digital health. Telemedicine application development is the essential objective of medical care industries that provides patients with medical care services from a distance.

 

Telemedicine mobile applications have changed the lives of both patients and doctors while patients receive medical services at their homes, doctors can provide medical treatment more easily, and get paid for a consultation immediately.

 

Using the telemedicine app, you can fix an appointment with a doctor, go for a consultation, get a prescription, and pay for the consultation. The telemedicine app reduces the gap between patients and doctors.

 

Benefits of developing a telemedicine app

Like Uber, Airbnb, Lyft, and other service applications, telemedicine applications permit giving better healthcare services at lower costs.

 

Flexibility

Using telemedicine mobile apps, doctors receive more control over their working hours as well as quickly respond to emergencies more effectively. 

 

Extra revenue

Telemedicine apps allow doctors to get more revenue for after-hour care, as well as the ability to see more patients, compared to face-to-face appointments. 

 

Increased productivity

Telemedicine mobile apps are easily accessible for patients and minimize the travel time to hospitals or clinics and other issues, thus improving the treatment outcome.

 How does a telemedicine mobile app work?

Each telemedicine app has its working logic. Still, the average flow of  the apps goes like this: 

  • To receive a consultation from a doctor, a patient creates an account in the app and describes their health problems. 
  • Then, depending upon the user’s health issue, the application looks for the most appropriate doctors nearby. 
  • A patient and a doctor can have a video call through the application by scheduling an appointment. 
  • During the video call, a doctor speaks with the patient, gets some information about a health condition, suggests treatment, assigns lab tests, and so on. 
  • When the video call is over, the patient pays for the consultation using a quick payment method and gets receipts with prescribed medicines and the doctor’s suggestions. 

 

Telemedicine Apps can be of different types including: 

 

Real-time Interaction App

Medical care suppliers and patients can collaborate in real-time with the help of video conferencing. The telemedicine app allows both patients and doctors to see and interact with each other.

 

Remote Monitoring App

Telemedicine applications can also be used for managing the patients at high risk and allow doctors to monitor the patient’s activities and symptoms remotely through wearable devices and IoT-enabled health sensors.

 

Store-and-forward App

Store-and-forward telemedicine applications permit medical services suppliers to share patient’s clinical data, including blood tests, lab reports, recordings, and imaging examines with a radiologist, doctor, or some other trained professional.

 

How to develop a telemedicine app?

We have mentioned the step-by-step process of developing a telemedicine mobile app below. 

 

Step 1: Quote will be given by the mobile app developers

For this step, you need to fill out the contact form and tell us however many details about your telemedicine application could be allowed.

 

Step 2: Project scope for a telemedicine platform’s MVP will be created

We will reach out to you to sign an NDA, explain project details, and make a project brief. Then, we will show you a list with application features for the project’s MVP, generate the project mock-ups, and prototypes.

 

Step 3: Enter the development stage

When the user agrees upon the project scope, our team will break the application features that are simpler to execute. Then, we start developing the code, test the code, and direct bug-fixing step by step. 

 

Step 4. Approve the app’s demo

After the preparation of the application’s features, our team will show you the outcome. In case you are happy with the outcomes, we transfer the task to the marketplace and start carrying out more features.

 

Step 5: Launch your app on app marketplaces

When all the application features from the project scope are implemented, we run the final product demo and give your application the project-related information, including databases, access to app stores, mock-ups, and designs. Finally, your telemedicine mobile application is ready to serve your users.

 

Conclusion

Telemedicine App Development requires great attention. You need to consider that the application complies with the enactment in your designated country or region apart from identifying the features to be included in the application and technologies to be used,  You need to add detailed information to each specialist and license patients to rate and review specialists to make the telemedicine application valid for your users.
