Overview

Hospital App Development Company in Ahmedabad

A hospital app is a set of connected apps that move routine OPD and IPD work off the front desk: booking, queues, reports and bills for patients, and schedules and patient lists for doctors. Raqbash builds them for multi-specialty hospitals and groups that already run an HMS.

In Ahmedabad, the morning OPD rush is where hospitals lose goodwill. Patients wait at registration, then again outside the consulting room, with no idea for how long. A good app fixes the waiting first, then gives patients a reason to keep it: reports, bills and follow-ups in one place.

The app ecosystem

The Hospital App Ecosystem We Build

A hospital needs four connected pieces, one per role, all reading from your HMS so there is one patient record.

  • Patient app

    For patients and the families who manage their care.

    • Book OPD slots or tokens
    • Track the queue live
    • Download reports and bills
    • Pay deposits and bills by UPI
    • Manage family profiles

  • Doctor app

    For consultants moving between OPD and wards.

    • See today's OPD list
    • Open patient history and reports
    • Review IPD patients on rounds
    • Block leave and change slots

  • Front-desk & admin panel

    For registration and billing staff.

    • Issue and call tokens
    • Register via ABHA Scan & Share
    • Publish doctor schedules
    • Answer app messages

  • Management dashboard

    For the medical director and branch heads.

    • OPD footfall by department
    • Bed occupancy by ward
    • Collections and pending bills
    • Compare branches

Key features

Key Features of a Hospital App

These five features remove the most calls and queues from a busy hospital.

  1. Live OPD token and queue status

    Patients book a token, then watch the number being served from the café or car park. An alert at two patients away keeps the corridor calm.

  2. ABHA Scan & Share at registration

    Patients scan your ABDM QR code to share their ABHA profile, so registration takes seconds instead of a form.

  3. Doctor directory across branches

    Search by specialty, doctor or branch, with real OPD timings. Nearby branches show first.

  4. Reports and discharge summaries

    Lab, radiology and discharge papers appear when the HMS releases them, grouped by visit.

  5. IPD bills, deposits and insurance status

    Families see the running bill, pay deposits by UPI and follow cashless approval. Fewer trips to billing, fewer discharge-day surprises.

How it works

How a Patient Uses Your Hospital App

An OPD visit takes five steps, and the patient never stands in a registration queue.

  1. Step 1

    Find the right doctor

    Search by specialty or branch and see real OPD timings.

  2. Step 2

    Book a token and pay

    Pick a session, pay by UPI, get a token.

  3. Step 3

    Track the queue

    Arrive when the live number is close.

  4. Step 4

    Scan in and consult

    Scan & Share at the desk, then straight to the consulting room.

  5. Step 5

    Reports and follow-up

    Reports land in the app, with a follow-up reminder.

Security & compliance

Security & Compliance for Hospital Apps

Hospital apps carry very sensitive data, so access is limited by role, views are logged and data stays in India.

  • One record, read from your HMS

    The app reads patient data from your HMS through secure APIs instead of copying it.

  • Role-based access

    Doctors see their own patients, front desk sees registration data, and every view is logged.

  • DPDP consent and family access

    Consent at sign-up and clear rules for who can manage a child's or an elderly parent's profile.
  • Hosting in an Indian cloud region
  • Signed, expiring links for shared reports
  • No diagnoses in lock-screen notifications
  • Penetration test before go-live

Cost & timeline

Hospital App Development Cost

A hospital patient app with OPD booking and reports typically costs ₹12–20 lakh; adding a doctor app and IPD billing takes it to ₹25–45 lakh.

What moves the cost of a hospital app

  • Your HMS

    Clean APIs are quick to connect; no APIs means middleware first.

  • Number of branches

    Each branch adds doctors, schedules and queue rules.

  • IPD and insurance

    Running bills and TPA status need billing data the HMS may not expose.

  • ABDM go-live

    Sandbox testing and certification add a few weeks.

FAQ

Hospital Mobile App Development Services in Ahmedabad: FAQs

Practical answers for teams planning a hospital app.

Can patients see live OPD token status in the app?

Yes. If your HMS or queue system exposes the current token, the app shows it in near real time. If not, the front desk gets a simple 'call next' screen that updates the app. Patients get an alert when two people are ahead, and any delay is shown openly, not hidden.

Will the app work with our existing HMS?

In most cases, yes. We connect through REST APIs, HL7 v2 feeds or database views, and test your HMS vendor's API with real calls before we quote. If something is missing, we agree with you and the vendor whether to add a small middleware layer or wait for their next release.

Can we use ABHA Scan & Share for registration?

Yes, if your hospital is registered as a health facility on ABDM. Patients scan the counter QR code and their ABHA profile reaches the front desk, which registers them in your HMS in seconds. We build the app and desk screens and support the sandbox and approval steps your hospital completes.

How do you handle hospitals with several branches?

Branches are built in from the start. Each has its own departments, doctors, OPD timings and queues, and visiting consultants appear at every branch they cover. Patients see the nearest branch first, and management can compare all branches side by side or open one at a time on the dashboard.

Can families pay IPD bills and deposits through the app?

Yes. Families see the running bill, pay deposits and final bills by UPI or card, and download GST receipts whenever they need them. Where your TPA desk records approvals in the HMS, the app shows them. Final settlement stays with your billing team; the app removes the queues and phone calls around it.

How much does a hospital app cost and how long does it take?

Typically ₹12–20 lakh over 14–18 weeks for a patient app with OPD booking, queue status and reports. Patient and doctor apps with IPD billing and dashboards usually cost ₹25–45 lakh over 6–9 months. Groups with ABDM integration cost more because of the certification work. You get a fixed quote after scoping.

Can the app be in Gujarati and Hindi?

Yes. We design every screen for English, Gujarati and Hindi from the start, so longer words do not break layouts. Patients choose their language once in settings, and push, SMS and WhatsApp messages follow it. Medical terms can stay in English where patients recognise them that way, which most doctors prefer.
