Overview

Healthcare App Development Company in Ahmedabad

Raqbash is a healthcare mobile app development company in Ahmedabad that builds iOS, Android and cross-platform apps for hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies and healthtech founders, designing patient, clinician and admin apps as one product.

The brief is hard. Patients range from a 22-year-old on a new iPhone to a 70-year-old on a shared, low-end Android, doctors have seconds between patients, and every screen touches protected health data. We design for all three.

What we build

Healthcare Apps We Build

We build six kinds of healthcare apps, from a clinic's booking app to a multi-hospital platform.

  • Patient engagement apps

    Booking, reminders, reports and bills in one app, so patients stop phoning the front desk.

  • Telemedicine apps

    Video, audio and chat consults with e-prescriptions, built around India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines.

  • Doctor and staff apps

    Schedules, patient history and rounds for clinicians working from a phone.

  • Pharmacy and medicine delivery apps

    Prescription upload, pharmacist checks, refills and tracked doorstep delivery.

  • Remote patient monitoring apps

    Readings from monitors and wearables reach a care team, with alerts.

  • Fitness and wellness apps

    Memberships, class booking and progress for gyms and yoga studios.

Must-have features

Must-Have Features in a Healthcare App

Six features decide whether patients keep a healthcare app after the first visit.

  1. Booking that matches how OPDs really run

    Slots for clinics, tokens for walk-in OPDs, both for hospitals, with real availability rather than a request form.

  2. Video consults that work on 4G

    Adaptive video with an audio fallback and an e-prescription at the end. Tested on mid-range Androids over real mobile networks.

  3. Records and reports in one place

    Reports and discharge summaries by visit, shareable with another doctor, plus ABHA-linked records.

  4. Reminders patients act on

    Medicine, follow-up and test reminders by push, SMS or WhatsApp, with no diagnosis or drug name on the lock screen.

  5. Device and wearable readings

    Bluetooth monitors, Apple Health and Health Connect, with thresholds that trigger alerts.

  6. Payments, bills and insurance

    UPI and cards through your gateway, itemised bills, and cashless insurance status where your HMS shares it.

Native vs cross-platform vs PWA

Native vs Cross-Platform vs PWA for Healthcare Apps

For most healthcare apps, cross-platform is right; native earns its cost for Bluetooth devices and sensors.

Native, cross-platform and PWA compared for healthcare apps.
FactorNative (Swift, Kotlin)Cross-platform (Flutter, React Native)PWA (web app)
PerformanceFastest; best for sensor streams.Near-native for booking, records, video.Fine for content; weak for live video.
Device accessFull: HealthKit, Health Connect, Bluetooth.Most, via plugins and small native modules.Limited; no HealthKit, restricted iOS push.
CostHighest: two codebases.Lower: one codebase.Lowest, but no store listing.
Time to marketSlowest.Faster; one release train.Fastest.
Offline useStrong, with background sync.Strong, with encrypted caching.Basic; unreliable for records.
Best forMedical-device monitoring.Patient, doctor and telemedicine apps.One-time booking and health content.

Our recommendation: Go cross-platform for patient and doctor apps, with native modules only for devices such as a Bluetooth glucometer. Add a PWA booking page for patients who will visit once.

What drives the cost of a healthcare app

  • How many apps

    A patient app alone costs far less than four connected apps.

  • Integrations

    Each HMS, lab or insurer link adds work; older systems add most.

  • Video and devices

    Video consults and Bluetooth devices need extra testing.

  • Compliance depth

    ABDM certification, audit logs and security tests take real time.

FAQ

Healthcare Mobile App Development Services in Ahmedabad: FAQs

Straight answers for healthcare app buyers.

How much does a healthcare app cost to build in India?

Typically ₹9–20 lakh for a first version, such as a patient app with booking, reminders, records and payments. Platforms with doctor apps, video consults and HMS integration usually cost ₹20–45 lakh, and multi-hospital systems with ABDM work start around ₹45 lakh. You get a fixed quote after a free consultation.

How long does healthcare app development take?

Usually 12–18 weeks for a first version and 5–9 months for a multi-app platform. Store review and Google Play's closed testing for new accounts add a few weeks, which we plan in. The biggest variable is integration access: a vendor slow to share HMS API keys delays everything that depends on it.

Should our healthcare app be native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform suits most healthcare apps. Flutter or React Native gives one codebase for iOS and Android, cutting cost and keeping both apps in step. Native code makes sense where the app depends on Bluetooth medical devices or continuous sensor data, usually as a small module inside an otherwise cross-platform app.

Will our app comply with the DPDP Act and HIPAA?

We build to DPDP Act 2023 practices: clear consent, minimal data, encryption, and in-app access and deletion. For US-facing apps we follow HIPAA-conscious practices such as access controls and audit logs. Compliance also depends on your policies and contracts, so we work alongside your compliance lead rather than certifying the app ourselves.

Can you integrate our app with ABDM and ABHA?

Yes. We build ABHA creation and linking, consent-based record sharing and FHIR R4 data exchange. Going live on ABDM also needs sandbox, testing and approval steps your organisation completes with the National Health Authority. We prepare the app and the documentation for those steps and support your team through each one.

Can the app connect to our existing HMS, EMR or lab system?

Usually, yes. If your system has an API or supports HL7 or FHIR, we connect directly. Older systems can often share data through a database view or scheduled export. We test this during scoping, because it decides both the cost and what the app can show patients and doctors in real time.

Will Apple and Google approve a healthcare app?

Most well-prepared health apps are approved, but reviewers look closely. Apple restricts how health data is used and expects sources for medical claims. Google Play requires a health apps declaration and an accurate Data safety form. We prepare all of this, write the review notes and handle any follow-up or resubmission.

Do we own the source code and patient data?

Yes. You own the source code, designs, documentation and all patient data. The apps are published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, and servers run in your cloud account. We sign an NDA before you share details and hand everything over at the end of the project, including access credentials.

What does maintenance cost after the app goes live?

Plan for a monthly maintenance plan plus cloud, messaging and store fees. Maintenance covers yearly iOS and Android updates, Google Play's target API changes, SDK upgrades, monitoring and small fixes. We quote it alongside the build, so the running cost is clear from day one and nothing comes as a surprise.
