Despite U.S. consumers spending 5 hours per day on mobile devices and drop of mobile browser usage to 8%, business owners are still having doubts about investing time and money in mobile app development. Healthcare is another story though, isn’t it? Let’s have a look at some healthcare apps and features they offer to get you inspired.
Healthcare apps and problems they solve
iTriage Health Two ER doctors have managed to find an answer to the question, why create an app? They’ve brought to life an idea to give patients a quick access to the huge healthcare and medical database in 2010. The app’s medical content is constantly reviewed by Harvard Medical School. iTriage is available on Google Play and Apple App Store, and currently has over 12 million downloads. It uses freemium monetization strategy. The app is constantly updated with regard to users reviews. What features does it offer?
Virginia Mason Medical Center (WA) The app was launched in 2015 and allows its patients to easily manage their health in the Washington area. It is currently available both one Google Play and Apple App Store and uses freemium monetization strategy. The app has more than 1 thousand installs.

Doctors Medical Center of Modesto (CA)
The app is a rich repository of information on the medical center, including Emergency Room (ER) waiting time, maternity, finding physicians and baby’s first name, for instance (to have a look at solutions we offer, please visit r-stylelab.com). The app was launched in 2011 and has more than 1 thousand downloads. It uses freemium monetization strategy. However, it is quite rarely updated and has lately gathered a few low rating reviews [3]. What features does it offer?
St. Mary's Medical Center (FL)
The mobile app was launched in 2015 and positions itself as a “daily, interactive and one-stop source for the latest health and wellness tips” from their experts [4]. The app targets patients that live in Palm Beach County, Florida. Although the number of its downloads doesn’t exceed 5K and its revenue amounts to about $5 thousand as well, this app allows to establish with patients a better contact, show them that their time & convenience are valued, and that the medical center is in the loop, among other things. What features does it offer to the patients? St. Mary's Medical Center has mobile apps that are available on Google Play and Apple App Store, which allow it to:
Wrap up Are you engaged in healthcare and still have doubts, why create an app for your business? Building a decent mobile presence is a win-win solution if you care about your patients, their convenience and time. In R-Style Lab, we’ve successfully accomplished a great deal of challenging healthcare-related projects that have allowed our clients to meet certain objectives. For example, when a large R&D healthcare center from the U.S. had contacted us for development of an adaptive solution to provide mobile version of their back pain therapy program, we’ve built an easy-to-use app that supports SaaS to optimize it’s performance on various devices (for more information on the project, please have a look here). Or, for instance, in case of ECDgram project, a US-based healthcare IT company challenged our team to create a mobile data visualization app for a custom IoT device that uses smart EKG sensors. Our developers didn’t solely manage to timely and successfully meet the challenges (real-time visualization & rendering, processing the unexpectedly large amount of data received via bluetooth in real time, for instance), they’ve built a custom-created simulator software as an IoT device to capture the electrical signals of a human body and send the data to a mobile app was not provided by the customer. With most healthcare apps using freemium monetization strategy, owning an app with a possibility to reach your patients with a click or usage of multiple engagement strategies, will certainly boost interest in your business!
