Posted by kavya on February 6th, 2019

There is a steady increase in the growth of mobile apps dealing with healthcare facilities. This industry exploding beyond expectations, with more than 195000 such apps currently dominating the market, says Ginna Baik, who is a senior care business strategist at CDW Healthcare. Baik along with Veera Anantha, the president, founder and CTO of Constant Therapy  and Caroline Arenz, an associate at Healthbox, has talked about the designs that these app builders can use to attract clinical customers in the recently held Louisville Innovation Summit. They further remarked that these workflow act as game changers helping to increase production and maximize care.

Many of such mobile healthcare apps have become successful at achieving the healthcare goal, providing care and supply both at the same time. For example, the Constant Therapy, a service accomplished by Boston University Healthcare App Developers tells such a startup success story. It aids patients suffering from neurological disorders to keep a check on their treatment through personalized therapy, all using a device. Healthbox too supports and shares this idea and invests in giving such companies a chance to do so.

When on evaluating this type of a mobile app, the healthcare app developers suggest some tips for the comfort and convenience of both the patients and the providers. These useful recommendations are enlisted below here:

✓ Importance of clinical results

There should be a strong reason that could be stated as well as shown the results before the app providers so that they become totally interested in this and willingly buy it from the healthcare app developers. There exists a need to show them a thriving ROI (Return on Investment).

✓ Use and adoption by rehabilitant

This industry really needs to be extra tight. It wants superb vigilance over the total number of patients visiting the apps everyday and how many times they return on the same everyday. It should have the ability to make people stick around it only.

✓ Incorporating personalized feed and gamification

Inclusion of some kind of games into the app holds the users for a longer time and often keeps them interested. More over, that which involves some kind of Facebook or Instagram feeds into the app insists in a special way for the visitors to come back again and again.

✓ Understanding the value of stakeholders

The biggest thing that needs assurance when investing in a solution is that it definitely is able to make possible traction. What this makes easy for the stakeholders is nothing but presenting the ability to make data from an app valuable. They then utilize it to drive something which is actionable and poses interventions.

Such apps on the one hand look for solutions that leave a positive effect on the clinician's workflow and on the other hand give a helping hand to care for more sufferers. These developers take the best out of the work the patients do. Some solutions regarding aging and care manager collect a huge amount of data on them and notify a care manager if there arises an issue. Also, introducing the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) at the beginning warns one to become cautious while synthesizing any integration to systematize and make it a standard of care. However, this is extremely essential for a caregiver.

Most developers emphasize that their product is HIPAA or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant, which was constructed to modernize the flow of information related to healthcare, stipulate the maintenance of these personal information and that insurances should be protected against any kind of fraud having set some limitations in the coverage. It serves as a security system because not all doctors ask about this and presume its compliance.

Finding ways to make profit

o It is a matter of concern and at times a choice to the developers that how the app can make good money out of it. It often turns into a dead end where the developer finds it extremely difficult to choose between two freakish and unwanted options: either they have to open up on the ROI matter demonstrating it so that the provider absorbs the cost, or they fall prey to the claws of monetizing the app. The experts have agreed on the idea that providing a ROI works most effectively in order to sell a product. A solution referring ROI impels the provider to happily opt for it.

All the more, providers are always inclined towards per-member-per-month (PMPM) models where fees are initiated only if a patient shows willing indulgence to enroll. They can get on board for free except paying in accordance with usage. Enhancers can also boost the thought of providing subscriptions to them and the doctors.

Demographically these apps must determinately focus on people over 65 years of age, as they are ones actively accepting this only because it enlivens them.
