Chapter 3: Organizing different resources

A. The different resources required to develop a medical health care app are:
Financial resources: Funding is needed to pay for the development and maintenance of the app, as
well as any necessary hardware or infrastructure. Developing a healthcare app can be costly, and
funding is required to cover the costs of development, ongoing maintenance, and marketing.
A team of developers: The team should have experience in developing healthcare apps, as well as
knowledge of relevant programming languages and frameworks such as Java, Swift, React Native,
etc.
Data resource: The app should be able to integrate with electronic medical records (EMR) systems
and other healthcare data sources, such as lab results and prescription information. This may require
obtaining permission from hospitals or other healthcare providers to access their data.
Understanding of regulations and compliance: Healthcare apps are subject to a number of
regulations, such as CDSCO in India, to protect patient privacy and ensure data security. The app
developer should be aware of these regulations and design the app accordingly.
Design team: A good user interface is important for the app to be easy to use and navigate. A design
team should create a visually appealing design and user-friendly interface that meets the needs of the
target users.
Project manager: A project manager is responsible for coordinating the development process,
ensuring that deadlines are met and that the app is delivered on time and within budget.
Marketing and promotion: The app should be marketed and promoted to raise awareness among
potential users, such as healthcare providers and patients.
Plan for updating and incorporating user feedback: The app should be regularly updated to fix
any bugs and incorporate user feedback to improve the app's functionality and usability

C. Revenue model:
Although the main purpose of our app is to providing easy access to health care facilities to society
and not to earn money and make profits but it is at the same time difficult to run a business without
any capital. Thus here are few revenue models:
In-app purchases: Users can purchase additional features or services within the app. For example,
users may be able to purchase additional storage for their health records, or pay for extra telemedicine
consultations.
Advertising: The app can display ads to users and earn revenue through impressions or clicks. This
can include targeted ads for health-related products or services.
Referral and affiliate programs: The app can earn revenue by referring users to other products or
services. For example, the app can refer users to a pharmacy or a lab testing service, and earn a
commission for each referral.
Telemedicine: The app can offer virtual consultations with healthcare professionals and charge for
the service. This can include video consultations with doctors or other healthcare providers, and can
be a great way to generate revenue for the app.
Sponsorship: The app can partner with pharmaceutical companies or other businesses to display their
products or services to users. For example, the app can display sponsored content from a
pharmaceutical company, or include a sponsored section in the app that promotes a specific product or
service.
Billing and claims management: The app can help users submit claims and bill insurance providers,
earning a fee for the service. This can include helping users fill out forms, submit claims, and track
the status of their claims.
