Trusted by healthcare teams

Medico
BioGeek
My Therapy Assistant
Clearstep
Healthcare products including Medico, BioGeek, My Therapy Assistant, and Clearstep rely on workflows designed and built by Purrweb. Our work covers patient monitoring, lab-data management, virtual care, symptom assessment, insurance integrations, and clinician-facing dashboards.

Custom healthcare software we develop

Custom software tailored to healthcare fits the needs of healthcare organizations whose workflows, user roles, integrations, or data requirements do not match a standard software solution. We design each custom healthcare software solution around the people who use it and the systems it must exchange data with, which helps healthcare organizations avoid duplicate workflows.

EHR and EMR systems

We build electronic health record (EHR) and electronic medical record (EMR) software for patient histories, lab results, appointments, care plans, and provider dashboards. The architecture accounts for access levels, auditability, and future integrations. Our EHR and EMR software development work also creates a foundation for medical imaging and PACS/DICOM workflows.

Telemedicine and virtual care

We develop telemedicine software and telehealth platforms for video consultations, secure messaging, provider calendars, appointment booking, clinical notes, and payment flows. The product can serve patients, practitioners, administrators, and business clients without forcing every role into the same interface. See our telemedicine app development company service.

Remote patient monitoring

We build remote patient monitoring software that supports data collection from surveys, laboratory results, wearable data, and other health indicators. Clinician dashboards organize changes over time, while alerts help care teams find readings that need attention without manually checking every patient record.

Patient portals and healthcare apps

Custom patient portal software brings appointments, results, messages, treatment information, and progress tracking into one healthcare application. We connect these tools to provider workflows instead of treating the mobile interface as a separate product. Our healthcare app development experience covers web and mobile delivery.

Provider workflow and practice-management software

We scope practice management software for scheduling, staff roles, clinical notes, billing integrations, customer relationship management (CRM), patient communication, and administrative reporting. This is an adjacent capability based on delivered provider workflows, not a claim that every healthcare facility needs a full hospital-management suite. We also plan medical billing and RCM software around the payer and operational requirements of each project.

Healthcare data analytics and AI

We design healthcare data analytics that turns health data into trends, clinician dashboards, abnormal-result alerts, and structured information extracted from uploaded files. The healthcare analytics layer keeps source data and calculated outputs distinct. Artificial intelligence (AI) features such as a symptom-guided chatbot, diagnosis support, or triage support remain optional and require separate validation, clinical safeguards, and human oversight. We do not present an automated recommendation as a medical decision. We also plan speech recognition for healthcare software when products need dictation, structured notes, or voice-assisted workflows.

Integrations and interoperability we build in

Across the healthcare industry, healthcare interoperability depends on reliable data exchange between healthcare systems. We plan how records move between clinical, administrative, financial, and patient-facing software systems before development starts.
HL7 v2
FHIR APIs
EHR/EMR
Labs and pharmacies
Payments and insurance
Wearables and IoMT

EHR and EMR connections

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) APIs support structured data exchange with modern healthcare platforms. HL7 v2 interfaces connect products to systems used by healthcare facilities, laboratories, and clinics that still rely on legacy system message formats and communication protocols.

Lab and pharmacy systems

We map test results, prescriptions, patient identifiers, units, and status updates between systems. BioGeek uses ABBYY-powered extraction to turn uploaded laboratory reports into structured records.

Payments and insurance

Healthcare products may need eligibility checks, insurance billing, payment processing, or escrow flows. My Therapy Assistant connects to Healthcode for UK insurance payments.

Wearables and IoMT

For data from wearable technology, Internet of Things (IoT), and IoMT devices, the integration layer validates timestamps, units, patient identity, and missing or duplicate records.

Reliable data exchange

We define ownership, access levels, field mapping, validation rules, and audit logs for every connection. This keeps multiple healthcare systems from creating conflicting versions of the same patient information.

Visible failures

We design loading, error, and conflict states so clinicians do not mistake stale information for a current record.

Our EHR and EMR consulting work covers the integration plan, architecture, and delivery sequence. The exact standard and certification path depend on the health system, connected systems, and target market.

HIPAA and security by design

Secure healthcare software starts with data security, privacy regulation, and regulatory compliance before coding. We map Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, sensitive data, user roles, connected systems, and other regulatory requirements while the software architecture is still flexible enough to change.
HIPAA-ready delivery
GDPR where applicable
Role-based access
Audit trails

Requirements and risk mapping

We identify what health information the product stores, where it travels, how long it remains available, and which actions need additional control or approval.

Access control

Role-based controls enable healthcare professionals to access only the information required for their work and protect healthcare providers and patients from unnecessary data exposure. We design separate permissions for patients, clinicians, administrators, support teams, and connected services.

Data protection

Encryption protects data in transit and at rest. Backups, secrets, logs, test environments, and file storage follow the same security model as the main healthcare platform.

Testing and auditability

QA covers permissions, session handling, integrations, recovery scenarios, and attempts to reach restricted data. Audit logs record sensitive actions without exposing protected information inside the log itself.

Release and operations

Security checks continue through deployment and support. Monitoring, incident procedures, dependency updates, and access reviews become part of product operations rather than a one-time launch task.

HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, and ISO 13485 do not apply to every healthcare product in the same way. We map the requirements relevant to the product, target market, and operating model. For medical-device or SaMD projects, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements and other regulatory planning become a separate workstream. Final compliance also depends on hosting, internal policies, staff procedures, and how the client operates the software after release.

Why choose Purrweb for healthcare software development

Modern healthcare software development, including medical software development, needs more than developers. Choosing a healthcare software development services company also means checking whether its process supports reliable healthcare software development across product, security, and integration work. Our healthcare software development solutions combine healthcare software product development, design and development, QA, release support, and healthcare workflow experience in one delivery team.

Full-cycle product team

Our custom software development team combines software engineering with requirements, user flows, architecture, interface design, testing, and release. The client works with one coordinated software development team instead of several disconnected vendors.

Healthcare delivery experience

Medico, BioGeek, My Therapy Assistant, Clearstep, Talk to Me, and Breath Method give our team practical experience with patient, clinician, administrator, laboratory, virtual-care, and insurance workflows.

Security and integrations from the start

We map sensitive data, user roles, regulatory requirements, and connected systems before implementation. This prevents security controls and interoperability work from becoming expensive additions at the end of development.

3-day mini-planning

Before the main project starts, we spend three days clarifying requirements, outlining the initial scope, identifying technical risks, and preparing a budget and timeline estimate. This work is included when the project proceeds.

AI-assisted delivery

Our development team uses AI tools for routine code, test preparation, code review, and documentation. These tools improve productivity by up to 30% while senior specialists remain responsible for architecture, security decisions, and released code.

Engagement models and healthcare software development cost

Healthcare software development costs depend on how clearly the scope is defined, which specialists the client already has, and how much the product is expected to change during development.

Fixed scope

A fixed scope fits an MVP, module, or integration with stable requirements and acceptance criteria. We agree on the deliverables, timeline, and cost before development begins.

Dedicated team

A dedicated team works on a changing roadmap and delivers features in priority order. The team composition can include senior developers, QA, a project manager, an architect, and DevOps specialists.

Staff augmentation

Individual specialists join the client’s existing team and processes. Published staff augmentation rates depend on the role and engagement length.

FAQ

1. What is custom healthcare software development?

Custom healthcare software development creates a healthcare solution around an organization’s workflows, users, integrations, and data requirements. For software development in healthcare, custom healthcare software development companies adapt patient journeys, provider roles, clinical processes, reporting rules, and security controls instead of forcing them into a standard subscription product. The scope can cover a focused module, an MVP, or a full healthcare platform.

2. How much does custom healthcare software development cost?

A healthcare minimum viable product (MVP) generally costs $30,000–$80,000. A custom web platform starts from the broader $50,000–$70,000 benchmark, although healthcare integrations and compliance work can increase the estimate. The final cost depends on user roles, supported platforms, data migration, connected systems, infrastructure, security requirements, and the amount of custom product logic.

3. How long does it take to build custom healthcare software?

Purrweb plans four months for an MVP, five months for a mobile product, and six months for a web platform. More complex enterprise healthcare systems require a separate estimate. The timeline depends on integrations, migration, regulatory scope, number of user roles, and approval cycles. Mini-planning provides the initial delivery sequence in three days.

4. How do you approach HIPAA requirements?

We map HIPAA requirements while defining the architecture, data flows, user roles, and infrastructure. The product design can include role-based access, encryption, audit logs, secure backups, session controls, and incident procedures. Final compliance also depends on hosting, internal policies, staff training, vendor agreements, and how the healthcare organization operates the software after release.

5. What types of healthcare software do you develop?

We develop healthcare software, including application software for EHR and EMR workflows, telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, patient portals, healthcare apps, clinician dashboards, practice management software, and healthcare data analytics. Our custom medical software development services also scope medical-device, billing, imaging, insurance, mHealth, and laboratory workflows. Each project begins with evidence, integration, security, and regulatory requirements rather than a fixed feature template. This approach creates comprehensive healthcare software solutions instead of disconnected features.

6. How do you handle EHR and EMR integration with HL7 or FHIR?

We first identify the systems, record owners, patient identifiers, access rules, and data that must move between them. The integration design then defines FHIR resources, HL7 v2 messages, field mapping, validation, authentication, audit logs, and failure states. The exact approach depends on the EHR platform, available interfaces, target market, and certification requirements.

7. When is custom software better than an off-the-shelf healthcare product?

The benefits of custom healthcare software become clear when a custom healthcare solution must support distinct workflows, several user roles, complex integrations, regulated data, or reporting requirements that standard products do not support. Off-the-shelf software remains practical for common processes with limited customization. The decision should compare implementation cost, workflow changes, integration effort, ownership, and the expected product roadmap rather than features alone.

8. Do you provide support and maintenance after launch?

Yes. Post-release work can cover monitoring, incident response, dependency updates, infrastructure, security reviews, performance improvements, and further product development. Ongoing development and 24/7 technical support are separate services with their own scope and SLA. This keeps launch stabilization distinct from new features and long-term operational support.

9. Which engagement models do you offer?

Purrweb works with fixed scope, dedicated team, and staff augmentation models. Fixed scope fits a defined MVP, module, or integration. A dedicated development team follows a changing roadmap and delivers work in priority order. Staff augmentation adds individual developers, QA engineers, designers, project managers, or other specialists to the client’s existing team.

10. Do you work with digital-health startups and MVPs?

Yes. Our healthcare MVP development process takes an early concept through mini-planning, product flows, interface design, development, testing, and release. A typical MVP takes four months. The first version focuses on the core patient or provider workflow, while later releases add integrations, automation, analytics, and broader operational features.
