There is a huge chance of not getting a proper response as you thought from the
healthcare app development or your mHealth app. So, you have to be more focused
and precise about the requirement.
Here, you can check out the major possible reasons why these kinds of apps failed to
get proper attention and success,
01. Unclear Structure or Improper UX
User always comes first and so their experience. If any application fails to improve
user experience, that will surely fail to get success. So, keep it easy with proper flow
and better engagement ratio.
14
02. Complex Solution for problems

Keep it in mind, that a user always comes to find a solution not to entertain
themselves. If the mHealth app can’t give a solution to the particular pain, then there
are high chances of failure. So, choose a particular segment, and provide detailed
solution to a particular disease or an ailment to assure success of the healthcare
application.
03. Not following the Privacy Regulations

To ensure the success in this segment, you need to follow the HIPPA Regulations and
country wide privacy statements.
15
04. Expertise and Knowledge constraints
Healthcare industry is based on satisfying advise and if the professional experts

associated with the Healthcare Solution, aren’t enough knowledgeable in the field, the
chances of failure will be high. Even, a human being always believes on the opinion of
an expert who holds relevant qualifications, people reviews, and years of experience
in the segment.
So, keep the expert panel qualified, renown and recommendable.

Healthcare industry is wider than we know and have a large number of sub-segments
to produce better solutions for a particular health requirement, pain, or disease. Due
to the multiple sub-segments, that’s a great opportunity for Mobile App development
companies or individuals to highlight a particular segment and produce a functional
solution.
Well, those sub-segments can be divided into 3 major healthcare app types,
18
01. Daily Health Applications
These kinds of apps are used to track and record daily routine activities to maintain
body shape, sleep, nutritional needs, etc. without keeping your calendar with you.
Here’s the list of features that those daily health apps usually contain,
• Monitor & track sleep (Quantity & Stage), and steps with an optional tracking of
heartbeats, BP, pulse, fluid consumption, tilt swing and calorie counter.
• Analyze the data collected through routine activities.
• Push users to achieve their goals through instant notifications.
19
02. Hospital and EHR/EMR Applications

- EHR APPLICATIONS
Another variant of those are EHR (Electronic Health Records) Apps, where users can
choose from a list of hospitals, or doctors and consult online. All other features are
similar to the hospital apps. As an add-on those apps can have emergency mode,
where user can grant permission to the consultant or public to access their record for
a limited time frame.
Well, those sub-segments can be divided into 3 major healthcare app types,
22
03. Medical Software
One of the complex systems to develop as this software perform tasks like symptom
description, in-app diagnostics, and x-ray operations. Even these can be well-known
online medicine applications, where user can upload their prescription and order their
medicines online.
In such software, user can connect a device and diagnose their BP, sugar, and other
diseases easily, but to develop such system, developer needs to be guided and tested
through medical professionals. Also, these software needs to adhere several rules
and regulations along with a complete guide or manual about the use as the living
humans are testing themselves.
23
FEATURES.
What are the essential features do
these apps have?
Keep your eyes on the major features, that
encourage users to opt your mHealth app on
regular basis.
24
A mHealth app should contain all major and essential feature like other mobile apps
usually have such as: sign-in/sign-up, profile details, listing, etc. Usually those apps
have a patient variant, a consultant variant, and HIMS to perform functions and
connect each other.
Here’s the list of major features that those app variants have,
25
- PATIENT APP.
Patients can use these kind of

mHealth Apps for appointments, daily
health tips, pill reminders, etc.
26

Doctors can also use these kind of

mHealth Apps to increase their direct
reach and share their thoughts or
advise on the panel.
27
- HIS DASHBOARD.
mHealth Apps are like business

opportunity for organizations, so, the
app should contain dashboard for
admins, where they can manage
patients, doctors and inventories.
28
CLAUSES.
What are the regulations to run
these kinds of apps?
Keep your eyes on the major rules, and
remove hurdles from your path because the
Healthcare industry is highly sensitive.
29
Healthcare industry is a highly sensitive segment, and combining technology with this
industry needs to adhere security regulations or privacy statements. These
regulations are different for each country and developer needs to be aware about
those.
A mHealth app must design properly and follow the regulations set out by the
government authorities that ensures the privacy of information. Those regulations
differ from country to country, have a look here,
30
- THE UNITED STATES
A mHealth app designed specially for the US market

should compliance the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPPA) that regulates “how protected health
information should transmitted between servers and
the end entities.”
Note: If mHealth app stores or transmitted personal
health information, then it should compliance HIPPA
regulations, else there is no requirement to obey
HIPPA regulations.
31
- THE EUROPEAN UNION
In Europe, A mHealth app should compliance the

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that
specify what organizations can or can’t do with
personal information and how they should protect it.
So, if you are thinking to launch your app in Europe
with a facility to store personal health data, you need
to follow the GDPR.
32
- THE UNITED KINGDOM
In the UK, your app should compliance the new Data

Protection Act (DPA 2018) which set limits on the
storage, and access of the information. The DPA
2018 also applies the GDPR standards with some
modifications for financial services, academic
research and child protection.
33
- CANADA
The Canadian government sets

Personal Information Protection and Electronic Docu
ments Act
(PIPEDA) for the use of personal health information,
which sets out the rules for collecting, accessing and
disclosing the information in a way that distinguish
right to privacy of individuals.
The act also regulates organizations to collect
information in an appropriate circumstance.
34
- ASIAN REGION
Countries in Asia, have come with several regulations

in a “European style” privacy law. Several are obeying
GDPR and some follows other. Japan has the oldest
law in this segment “Personal Information Protection
Act (PIPA)”, which was established before 2003.
In Singapore, Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)

sets out some of the stiffest penalties in this segment.
