We work with your Data Protection Officer, Clinical Safety Officer or compliance adviser and build the controls and evidence they need. ## How much does healthcare software development cost? | Product | Typical scope | Budget (USD) | Budget (INR) | |---|---|---|---| | Clinic management software | Scheduling, records, billing, reminders, one or a few locations | 15,000–40,000 | 12–32 lakh | | Telemedicine app MVP | Patient and doctor apps, video, booking, e-prescriptions, payments, admin | 30,000–70,000 | 25–55 lakh | | Hospital management system | OPD, IPD, billing, pharmacy, lab, inventory, insurance | 40,000–120,000 | 32 lakh–1 crore | | EHR / EMR platform | Clinical documentation, orders, results, FHIR exchange | 50,000–150,000 | 40 lakh–1.25 crore | These are planning ranges, not quotes. Integrations with labs, imaging, insurance and national health exchanges are the biggest cost variables. Try the [custom software cost calculator](https://infikeytechnologies.com/tools/custom-software-cost-calculator) for a quick estimate. ## Interoperability and security Healthcare software is only useful if it can exchange data safely with labs, hospitals, insurers and national systems. - **Standards**: HL7 FHIR R4 (with US Core, UK Core or ABDM profiles), HL7 v2 for legacy lab and hospital systems, DICOM for imaging, ICD-10 / ICD-11, SNOMED CT and LOINC for coding. - **Access control**: role-based and patient-consent-based access, break-glass emergency access with full logging. - **Encryption**: PHI encrypted at rest and in transit, keys in a cloud KMS, encrypted backups. - **Hosting**: HIPAA-eligible services on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud with a signed BAA; UK, India or UAE regions where data must stay local. - **Audit**: every view, change and export of a patient record is logged and reviewable. - **Testing**: penetration testing and a security review before go-live, plus regular dependency patching through our [cybersecurity](https://infikeytechnologies.com/services/cybersecurity) team. ## Our delivery process 1. **Discovery**: clinical workflows, users, integrations, compliance requirements and a fixed estimate for the first release. 2. **Clinical workflow design**: we design with doctors, nurses and front-desk staff, because software that slows clinicians down does not get used. 3. **Build in sprints** with regular demos to clinical stakeholders. 4. **Safety and security**: clinical risk review (DCB0129 hazard log in the UK), penetration test and data protection review. 5. **Pilot, train, roll out**: start with one department or location, then expand, with ongoing support from our [managed engineering](https://infikeytechnologies.com/services/managed-engineering) team. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you build HIPAA-compliant software? We build software with the technical safeguards HIPAA requires: encryption, access controls, audit logs, backups and breach detection, hosted on HIPAA-eligible cloud services with a BAA. HIPAA compliance also depends on your policies and staff training, which your compliance lead owns. We sign a BAA when we handle PHI. ### Do you integrate with ABDM in India? Yes. We integrate ABHA ID creation and verification, Health Facility and Health Professional Registry lookups, and consent-based health record sharing, and take the integration through the ABDM sandbox and certification steps. ### Is our health app a medical device? Some are. Software that diagnoses, treats or monitors a condition can be regulated as a medical device (for example by MHRA in the UK, FDA in the US or CDSCO in India). Appointment, billing and record-keeping software usually is not. Get regulatory advice early; we can design the product so its intended purpose is clear. ### Can you integrate with our existing hospital or lab system? Yes. We integrate through FHIR or HL7 v2 interfaces, vendor APIs or database integrations, and can build an integration layer that connects several systems. ### Where will patient data be stored? In a cloud region that matches your legal requirements: for example, India for ABDM and DPDP needs, the UAE for UAE health data, the UK for NHS work, and HIPAA-eligible US regions for American patients. ## Related guides - [Telemedicine app development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/healthcare/telemedicine-app-development): A telemedicine app connects patients and clinicians for video, audio or chat consultations, with booking, payments, e-prescriptions and medi... - [Hospital management system development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/healthcare/hospital-management-system): A hospital management system (HMS or HIS) digitises hospital operations: patient registration, OPD and IPD, billing, pharmacy, lab, radiolog... - [EHR and EMR software development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/healthcare/ehr-emr-software): EHR and EMR software stores and manages patient clinical records: history, notes, problems, medications, allergies, orders and results.
