The real value of healthcare apps
The UK’s digital health market is set to reach over 31 million users by 2029, highlighting the urgent need for reliable, secure, and patient-centric mobile solutions.
01
Reducing administrative workload
Since July 2024, the NHS app's expanded features have saved approximately 5.7 million hours of staff time, including 1.26 million clinical hours.
02
Enhancing medication adherence
Studies indicate that active users of health apps achieve adherence levels of 75 percent, significantly higher than the average of 40–50 per cent. This improvement is crucial for managing chronic conditions and reducing healthcare costs.
03
Preventing missed appointments
The NHS app has helped prevent around 1.5 million missed hospital appointments, leading to more efficient use of healthcare resources and better patient outcomes.
From telemedicine and wearable integration to clinical data management and AI-powered analytics, bespoke healthcare apps are no longer optional. They are essential for staying competitive in a rapidly digitalising healthcare landscape.

A glimpse inside our work from our healthtech expert
As a healthcare app development company, we’ve built hundreds of healthcare apps for clients. One example is a web app our engineers developed using React, .NET, and Azure Cloud, specifically optimised for tablets.
Picture this: you're a nurse on duty when an urgent patient arrives. This EMR/EHR system allows you to quickly input vital information (blood tests, blood pressure, temperature) and relay it efficiently to a therapist or specialist.
We even added a feature that measures hand tremors by having the patient draw a line on the tablet.
As a result, doctors, scribes, and nurses could collect comprehensive patient data in any scenario, from emergency admissions to routine check-ups.”

Turning advanced tech into everyday healthcare tools
Beyond core stacks like .NET, Node.js, and React Native, we integrate cutting-edge technologies that reshape care delivery, diagnostics, and patient engagement.
AI
Reduces diagnostic uncertainty and administrative overload. Supports clinicians with decision-making tools, treatment personalisation, and data-driven insights, leading to faster, more accurate, and cost-effective care.
ML
Enables smarter decision-making and more personalised care by learning from patterns in data. Ideal for predictive diagnostics, treatment recommendations, and automating repetitive tasks.
Computer vision
Helps tackle delays in diagnosis and clinician workload by automating visual assessments. Perfect for early detection, anomaly spotting, and monitoring physical symptoms remotely, which reduces in-person visits and supports proactive care.
Cloud technologies
Eliminates reliance on on-prem systems, improves collaboration between care teams, and ensures business continuity. Enables secure remote access, real-time updates, disaster recovery, and seamless integration with third-party platforms.
AR/VR
Bridges the gap between complex procedures and patient understanding. Empowers clinicians to visualise treatment plans, train staff, or guide patients through at-home procedures.
Internet of medical things (IoMT)
Addresses gaps in ongoing patient monitoring and manual data entry. Automatically gathers and syncs real-time health data from devices, enabling timely interventions and supporting chronic condition management, elderly care, and post-operative recovery.
Big data
Turns scattered, siloed information into actionable intelligence. Collects, processes, and analyses large volumes of healthcare data to reveal trends, optimise operations, and inform strategic decisions at the population and individual level.
