What is medical software development?

Medical software development is a process of building and launching a special app that: is an accessory to a regulated medical device transforms a mobile platform into a regulated medical device contains algorithms for analysis and interpretation of data retrieved from a medical device

What are examples of medical software?

Custom medical solutions vary greatly. For example: CareAware Connect – supports and maintains teamwork. Patient information is available from one central device for clinic staff. mClinic – helps manage appointments. Provides tools for scheduling, prescription management, payments, etc. IsabelPro – facilitates matching symptoms and test results to diseases. Medisafe – a ‘virtual’ pillbox alerting users each time they must take medicine. Aetna Health app – lets users manage their healthcare plans on the go, find doctors, compare costs, etc. Do you want an app like one of the above? Contact us.

What software is used in hospitals?

Hospitals benefit from multiple software. The most common types of custom medical solutions include: Appointment management software Health records and patient data management software Telehealth apps AI-based analytical tools IoT devices for remote monitoring Data administration and management systems AR/VR apps for learning and education

What is medical software engineering?

Medical software engineering develops and launches medical apps for user groups like patients, doctors, clinics administrators, and insurance companies. It includes various types of software for remote patient monitoring, remote consultation, secure release and exchange of sensitive information, and more. Medical software engineering is challenging in terms of security. Another challenge is integration with specific (and often legacy) systems used in hospitals.

Do you sign an NDA for healthcare projects?

Yes. We can sign an agreement prior to negotiation stage to ensure your idea of a medical app remains secret.

How secure is IT Craft’s network?

We are completely aware that security is crucial for medical software development. Our system administrators apply best practices to protect it from unauthorized access and continuously monitor its state. Only assigned developers have access to a project through protected permission.

Do you introduce any additional security measures in healthcare development?

We apply HIPAA and GDPR rules to our medical software development processes. If your company has already implemented best practices for your healthcare projects, we also incorporate them. The same restrictions and policies you use internally extend to your dedicated IT Craft team.

What technologies do you use?

IT Craft has teams with different focuses available for you. You can choose based on scope of work and desired platform. Here is a short list: .NET Kotlin Node.js JavaScript Swift LAMP Docker Amazon Web Services If you do not see your target platform on the list, please contact us to find out if we can help you.

Can you help me with my digital healthcare project?

Yes. To get an estimate for your digital project, our business analyst studies your requirements then consults the relevant development team regarding scope of work. A timeline, the required team size, and possible technological stack (if none provided) are determined.

Will you work with the codebase I already have for a medical app?

It depends. Before we start, we conduct a code review. When the code quality is high, we are happy to proceed with it. However, if the code doesn’t meet our exact standards to deliver a high-quality product, we advise starting over. With medical software development, it is mandatory to avoid critical bugs, ensure software consistency, and guarantee data security to meet HIPAA and GDPR compliance.

How do you communicate with your clients?

We have daily or weekly Zoom/Skype calls between the client and PM/lead developers. Frequency depends on the scope, timeline, complexity, and client preference. We use different management software (Jira, Redmine, Asana) to track project progress and time expenditure. We use Slack for internal messaging. If there is any software you prefer to use in your healthcare project, we can apply it to our workflow.
