Challenges of telemedicine app implementation
Implementing a telemedicine app can pose a variety of challenges, which our team helps address by relying on robust tech skills and solid expertise in the healthcare industry.
Challenge
Solution
Regulatory compliance
Challenge
Solution
All healthcare software that involves health information exchange, storage, and processing should comply with location-specific regulatory standards.
Our experts ensure that your telehealth app’s architecture adheres to the regulations set in its intended use region (HIPPA in the USA, PIPEDA in Canada, and GDPR in Europe).
Data security
Challenge
Solution
The healthcare industry suffers from numerous data breaches that cost providers millions annually. Telehealth apps, especially those integrated with electronic health records, are among the most common targets for criminals.
We develop telemedicine apps strictly following up-to-date security standards and relying on secure frameworks, libraries, and data storage. We consistently carry out security testing and quality assurance throughout the development process. In addition, we provide onboarding training to app users, helping them learn to avoid compromising protected information by mistake.
User-friendliness
Challenge
Solution
The app should provide an intuitive user experience and convenient access to data for doctors, patients, admins, and other users.
While developing telemedicine platforms or mobile apps, our team creates UI/UX designs for each separate group of users - patients, their representatives, doctors, or nurses. Additionally, our experts ensure the app’s compatibility with various platforms so that users can run the application on any device and get a consistent user experience.
Scalability
Challenge
Solution
Telemedicine software should smoothly handle the user base expansion and be ready to serve a growing number of patients and doctors to ensure its future-proof nature.
We supply telehealth apps with an auto-scale feature that automatically handles the increased user demand or notifies the admins in case some major upgrade is needed.

FAQs about telemedicine app development
How to create a telemedicine app?
Decide on your telemedicine app's desired functions and monetization model and set the approximate budget. Then, request quotes from several app development companies and choose the one that fits your budget. If you want to go with the hands-on approach, you can work closely with the app development services provider to outline the project plan, choose the hosting platform for your cloud-based app, create the app’s architecture, build a custom solution, and then test and approve the final product. However, you can fully rely on the software vendor to deliver the desired product in the set timeframe.
How to choose a telehealth platform?
To choose the best telemedicine software, consider which functions you want it to cover, your telemedicine services’ specialty, the size of your practice, the demographics of patients it serves, and your budget.
Does Medicare cover telehealth?
Medicare and other major insurance programs generally cover virtual appointments and follow-ups. However, it's best to discuss each particular case with the insurance provider.
Is a telemedicine app secure?
If you prioritize data security in your telehealth app, its architecture must be developed according to the health industry’s security and regulatory standards and be HIPAA-compliant (e.g., using encryption for data storage and transfer, etc.). Additionally, the app’s users must still receive training to avoid human-factor security breaches.
Can telehealth services be provided via any general-use video conferencing platform (e.g., Skype)?
General-use live video tools (Skype, Google Meet, etc.) are unsuitable for providing medical consulting, diagnostics, or treatment because they do not adhere to the security and privacy regulations set for the healthcare industry and can compromise patient data security.
