Hear from our healthtech domain expert
A successful telehealth solution should combine accessibility with intelligence, becoming the continuation of conventional in-person healthcare service delivery. The technology should feel seamless and supportive, not burdensome.
And our role, as a telehealth app development company, is to help companies make healthcare more human, even when it’s digital.”

UK-led healthcare app development with global engineering power
At Vention, a telemedicine app development company, we help you engineer telehealth apps with peace of mind baked in from the start. Because we care about outcomes, and we know how to get them right.
Healthcare expertise
With over two decades of experience in healthcare software development, we understand the sector's complexities: clinical, technical, and regulatory. That translates into fewer missteps, shorter timelines, and faster real-world impact.
UK-based CTO oversight
Our local CTO will lead the technical and strategic aspects of the project, ensuring it is delivered on time, on budget, and fully aligned with broader business goals. With an on-site presence in the UK, we’re always available to assist.
Guidance on tech selection
Choosing the right tech matters. We help you select the most relevant stack for your project: the one that keeps the project cost-efficient, is easy to maintain, and won’t become a bottleneck throughout the app’s evolution.
Focus on teamwork
Our engineers aren’t just technically strong; they’re also easy to work with. From the start, they’re collaborative, communicative, and culturally aligned with your team, helping your project move forward efficiently and with full visibility.
Apps, built for UK compliance
We engineer secure software solutions designed to withstand unauthorised access, data breaches, and evolving security threats.
Every telehealth project we deliver follows industry best practices, including ISO 27001, DevSecOps, OWASP, mobile and network security, and reverse engineering safeguards, to help you ensure full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, CQC standards, MHRA, and NHS DTAC requirements.
A note from our expert
We understand that healthcare compliance in the UK is complex, and it takes more than just writing code to get it right for a telehealth solution. For that reason, apart from tech specialists, we always set up a client partner team.
The team oversees the end-to-end development process, helping translate healthcare regulations into clear technical requirements, advising on best practices for data protection, consent, and accessibility, and supporting the preparation of technical software documentation from our side required for certifications.”

How we deliver telehealth applications
Requirements specification and architecture design
Unclear application requirements can result in scope creep, budget overruns, and even noncompliance with UK healthcare regulations. That’s why our telemedicine app development services begin with detailed requirements gathering and architectural planning. At this stage, we define:
-
App’s feature scope
-
User scenarios for patients, doctors, and admins
-
Compliance requirements needed for conformity with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, NHS Digital, CQC, and MHRA guidelines
-
Integrations design
-
High-level architecture of your telehealth app
Project planning
With a clear understanding of the app's requirements and architecture, we prepare a step-by-step plan to guide us during the project execution. The project scope defines:
-
Schedule and budget
-
Milestones and deliverables for each sprint
-
Team composition and resource allocation
-
Risk mitigation strategies to keep delivery on track
UI/UX design
We design telehealth apps that are intuitive for both patients and clinicians. Accessibility is built in by default since every product we deliver meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards to ensure usability for all.
Application development and integration
Feature by feature, our team delivers the backend logic and frontend of your application and integrates the solution with third-party systems like EHR, the NHS App, or diagnostic services, ensuring systems interoperability and seamless data exchange. We also make sure security is built in: encryption mechanisms and role-based access controls are embedded into the core.
Testing, trial, and launch
Testing runs in parallel with the development process. We conduct unit, integration, and system testing against the requirements, as well as security audits and penetration testing, to ensure your solution can safely handle sensitive patient data.
Then it’s time for:
-
Final acceptance testing with real patients and doctors
-
Secure data migration
-
User onboarding
-
Official rollout of your application
Support (upon request)
We don’t leave you on your own post-launch. From performance and security monitoring to updates and new features, we provide long-term support to keep your telehealth solution running smoothly and securely.
