Custom Healthcare
Software & App
Development

• Documentation eats clinical time

  Clinicians spend hours typing what they just said in the room. Off-the-shelf EHRs solve storage, not capture.

• Schedules built on phone tag

  Manual confirmations, missed reminders, and 25–40% no-show rates that quietly bleed revenue.

• Fragmented patient data

  Records scattered across the PMS, lab portals, telehealth apps, and PDFs in email. No single view, no audit trail.

• Compliance treated as paperwork

  HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 retro-fitted after the fact. Every release becomes a legal review.

• Legacy interoperability

  HL7 v2 feeds duct-taped to FHIR APIs. Each integration takes a quarter instead of a week.

• Patients drop off after onboarding

  Engagement apps that get installed once, opened twice, then forgotten — because nothing in them earns the second open.

• Discovery sprint

  2–4 week fixed-scope sprint that delivers a working prototype and a written estimate for the full build. Best for new ideas that need a real artefact before committing budget.

• Dedicated product team

  A senior in-house pod (PM, designers, full-stack, AI, QA) embedded with your team. Best for ongoing scope, multi-quarter roadmaps, or a vendor takeover.

• Code audit & takeover

  Inherit an existing healthcare codebase, stabilise the highest-risk areas in the first sprint, then extend on a foundation you trust. Best for rescues and second-version rebuilds.

• What is custom healthcare software development?+

  Custom healthcare software is built specifically for your clinical workflows, patient population, and compliance posture — rather than configuring an off-the-shelf EHR or SaaS product around your operations. IrenicTech designs and ships the application end to end: architecture, UX, frontend, backend, AI, integrations with EHRs and labs, HIPAA / GDPR / SOC 2 controls, and post-launch support. You own the code, the IP, and the data.

• How long does a HIPAA-compliant healthcare app take to ship?+

  A focused MVP — telehealth plus scheduling plus records — typically lands in 8–12 weeks. A full multi-role platform runs 4–6 months. Compliance audits happen in parallel with the build, so launch isn't gated on a separate review cycle.

• What does a custom healthcare software build cost?+

  Discovery sprints land between $15–30k. MVPs typically run $60–150k depending on scope. Larger multi-role platforms scope $200–500k+. You get a written estimate after the discovery sprint, not before — that's how we make scope honest.

• Can you integrate with existing EHRs like Epic, Cerner, or Allscripts?+

  Yes. We work natively in FHIR and HL7 v2, integrate via SMART-on-FHIR for Epic and Cerner, and have shipped connectors for Allscripts, Athenahealth, and Meditech. Custom EHR integrations are normal scope, not a separate engagement.

• Can you take over an existing healthcare codebase?+

  Yes — that's our 'code audit & takeover' engagement. We start with a security and architecture audit, stabilise the highest-risk areas in the first sprint, then add new scope on a foundation we trust. Most takeovers ship their first new feature within 6 weeks.

• What compliance frameworks do you support out of the box?+

  HIPAA, GDPR, HITECH, PHIPA, and SOC 2 as primary frameworks. We're SaMD-aware (IEC 62304 lifecycle) and ISO 27001 is in progress at the company level. Hosting runs on AWS, GCP, or Azure with executed BAAs.

• Do you build for mobile, web, or both?+

  Both. Mobile is usually React Native or Flutter for cross-platform, with native Swift or Kotlin when a feature genuinely needs it. Web is Next.js with TypeScript. We default to one codebase per surface, not three.

• Who owns the code, the IP, and the patient data?+

  You do. The code, the repo, the IP, and the data live in your cloud accounts. We document everything as we build it and hand over admin access from day one. No vendor lock-in, no dependencies on us continuing the work.

• What about post-launch — do you stay involved?+

  Yes. Most clients keep us on a steady-state retainer for new features, on-call, and SLA. The team that shipped your product stays accountable for it — you're never inheriting a codebase from people who've left the building.
