Part of our custom software development series.
Software we build for healthcare
- Patient portals and telehealth platforms
- EHR/EMR integrations (HL7/FHIR)
- Appointment scheduling and reminders
- Remote patient monitoring dashboards
- Practice management and billing tools
- Secure messaging between patients and providers
What matters most in healthcare software
- HIPAA compliance — PHI must be encrypted, access-controlled and audit-logged; hosting must support a BAA.
- Interoperability — HL7/FHIR standards to exchange data with EHR/EMR systems.
- Privacy & consent — clear data handling, consent flows and minimal data collection.
- Accessibility — patients of all abilities must be able to use it (WCAG 2.1 AA).
Cost and timeline
Most healthcare software projects follow the same ranges as any custom build — roughly $25,000–$150,000+ over 6–20 weeks, driven by complexity, features and integrations. Get a specific range with the Software Development Cost Calculator and a delivery estimate with the Timeline Estimator.
How we build it
Discovery and scoping, UX and architecture, then build in 2–3 week sprints with QA, security and post-launch support — and you own the code and IP. See our software development service and the complete guide to custom software.
FAQ
Does healthcare software need to be HIPAA compliant?
If it touches protected health information (PHI), yes – with encryption, access controls, audit logging and a hosting provider that signs a BAA.
What is HL7/FHIR?
Interoperability standards for exchanging healthcare data. FHIR is the modern API-based standard used to integrate with EHR/EMR systems.
How much does healthcare software cost?
Usually $50,000-$150,000+, with compliance and integrations pushing it higher. The cost calculator gives a project-specific range.
Can you integrate with our EHR?
Yes – via HL7/FHIR APIs where the EHR supports them.
