Health & Wellness

The demand for health and wellness mobile app development continues its rapid increase with COVID-19 driving an accelerated transformation - from smartwatch heart monitors to internet doctor-patient visits. 

Digital Health has been gaining momentum because it's been envisioned to:

Improve access to healthcare
Reduce inefficiencies in the healthcare system
Improve the quality of care 
Lower the cost of healthcare
Provide more personalized health care for patients

In general, mobile health apps can be classified into four categories:

1. Clinical and diagnostic apps which assist doctors/specialists with their  practice, medical exams, consults, planning & patient communications
2. Patient health management apps support patients in monitoring their health conditions 
3. Hospital management & facility apps which can include insurance management to patient care management facility maintenance, and supply chain management 
4. Healthy Living & Wellness apps that are preventative in nature (e.g. nutrition-tracking, sleep) and help users live healthier lives.

Healthcare providers such as hospitals, pharmacies, and drug stores can improve their operating costs, streamline processes and improve the patient’s experience. The biggest cost savings from medical Health apps will be in reducing hospital costs by decreasing re-admission rates and length of stay and assisting patients with compliance to medication plans.

Did you know - 66% of the largest US hospitals offer mobile health apps - but patient engagement is failing because the apps offer poor user experience and functionality. (Accenture) 

While healthcare apps focus on current healthcare issues, fitness and wellbeing applications focus on preventative care that fosters lifestyle changes for a healthier life. Users of wellness devices and apps become more motivated in self-regulating their health, more engaged and consistent in their lifestyle and wellness behavior, which leads to improved health outcomes.

The development of new healthcare and wellbeing mobile applications do not show any sign of slowing down.
