Telehealth app development is the design and engineering of mobile applications that let clinicians run remote consultations, write e-prescriptions, and monitor patients over encrypted, HIPAA-compliant channels. These apps connect to EHR systems through FHIR or HL7 standards, sit on BAA-covered cloud infrastructure, and meet FDA and HHS requirements for handling protected health information.

자주 묻는 질문
How long does it take to build a HIPAA-compliant telehealth app?
A production-ready telehealth app with video consultations, EHR integration, and e-prescriptions typically takes 14-16 weeks. Simpler MVPs with core video and scheduling can ship in 8-10 weeks. Timeline depends on the number of EHR integrations and whether you need EPCS certification for controlled substance prescribing.
What does HIPAA compliance cost for a telehealth app?
HIPAA compliance isn't a line item — it's baked into every architectural decision we make. The infrastructure overhead (encrypted databases, BAA-covered hosting, audit logging) typically adds 15-20% to base development costs. We include BAA execution with AWS or Azure, security documentation, and third-party penetration testing in every telehealth engagement.
Can you integrate with Epic, Cerner, or other EHR systems?
Yes. We build integrations via FHIR R4 and HL7v2 interfaces for Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, AllScripts, and most major EHR platforms. Bidirectional data sync means patient demographics, clinical notes, prescriptions, and lab results flow between your app and the provider's existing system — no manual entry required.
Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement?
Absolutely. We execute BAAs with every healthcare client before development begins. Our cloud infrastructure partners — AWS and Azure — provide their own BAAs as well. This three-party BAA chain means every entity touching PHI is contractually and legally accountable under HIPAA's Security and Privacy Rules.
Should I build a native app or use React Native for telehealth?
We typically recommend React Native for telehealth apps. It delivers near-native performance for video, scheduling, and messaging while sharing 85-90% of the codebase between iOS and Android — cutting development time and cost significantly. For apps that need deep device-level integration like Bluetooth medical devices, we'll evaluate native Swift or Kotlin where it actually makes sense.
How do you handle App Store approval for medical apps?
Medical apps face stricter App Store review — there's no getting around it. Apple requires documentation of your app's clinical purpose, data handling practices, and regulatory compliance. We prepare the full submission package: privacy nutrition labels, HIPAA compliance documentation, and clinical use descriptions. We've navigated this process many times and handle resubmissions if Apple comes back with questions.
