Top 10 Reasons to Develop a Telemedicine App
2
The concept of telemedicine apps has been around
for a long time. The COVID pandemic forced us to
resort to telemedicine out of the restrictions
imposed on movement. It has highlighted the need
to integrate a functional telemedicine system
that runs alongside regular healthcare. Connectin
g patients and healthcare providers via
technology are being increasingly implemented
worldwide post COVID. The onset of COVID also
warmed up the users to the benefits of
telemedicine. Post-COVID, there has been a stark
increase in the number of virtual consultations
via doctor appointment booking apps. Studies show
that there has been a triple increase in the
investment made to telemedicine in 2020 than it
had in 2017.

What is a Telemedicine App?
Telemedicine apps are software that serves as a
platform for accessing different health services.
It helps patients identify the cause of their
condition, locate the right healthcare provider
and offer virtual consultation and following-ups.
It also provides a means to meet the needs of
pharmaceuticals and provide services for tests
and lab facilities. Telemedicine applications
also offer a platform for healthcare
professionals to connect with patients, manage
data and schedules, track visits, and much more.

If COVID showed us telemedicine was
indispensable, we are making a stronger case for
it. Here are some very compelling Top 10 Reasons
to Develop a Telemedicine App today.

1. Better access to healthcare

Healthcare is usually not accessible to those
living in rural regions. Sometimes, the
specialist we require cannot be found in the
country. The issue of access and distance is
overcome when you have a virtual setup that
facilitates the gathering of people from any part
of the world.

2. Maintain social distance
This is the main reason that telemedicine gained
popularity throughout the COVID pandemic. It also
serves a purpose in the future, too, since the
spread of infectious diseases is less as the
population increases to consult via telemedicine.
3. Better access to healthcare
Patients suffering from chronic diseases such as
heart disease, diabetes, or lifestyle disorders
do not need to go to the doctor's office for each
appointment. Virtual care systems allow the
patient to remain in their own home.

4. Reduces patient waiting time
Access to healthcare is severely hindered by the
waiting time. The availability of physicians in a
particular location as well as the volume of
patients who seek the same physician, and the
absence of a good system in place are the reason
for the patient.
5. Lower treatment costs
The cost of treatment is considerably less when
it comes to virtual treatment. This is true for
both the hospital as well as the patient. The
hospital could be able to save up to 24 for each
patient, and the patient could save on average
50 in travel costs according to a study.

6. Gain an edge over competitors
Telemedicine gives healthcare professionals an
advantage over competitors that haven't embraced
the technology. They also have access to patients
who may prefer the convenience of a remote
consultation over having to be physically present
during one.
7. Save infrastructure costs
The most significant benefit of a virtual health
system is the fact that it is free of
infrastructure expenses. In comparison to the
huge infrastructure investment needed, developing
a telemedicine application costs substantially
less. This means that healthcare is more
affordable.

8. Balances the doctor-patient ratio
One of the greatest benefits of telemedicine is
the way it eliminates geographical obstacles to
providing services to patients. Although a
specific location may be restricted because of
the absence of doctors as compared with a
patient's location could have plenty of doctors.
9. The advantage of technology
A telemedicine system puts the doctor and patient
in a position where they can use technology to
their benefit. For example, the doctor can refer
to biometric readings taken from wearable techs
to monitor the health of the patient.

Telemedicine App Development Challenges
1. Glitch-free UI/UX The medical industry is not
leaving space for error since it can be fatal.
Telemedicine apps must be completely secure and
user-friendly. Both the patient and doctor need
to be able use the application with minimum
difficulty. 2. Two separate apps A telemedicine
application has two key users - doctors and
patients. Each user has their own app. This
requires two distinct fronts that are seamlessly
connected.

Telemedicine App Development Challenges
3. iOS and Android Native Apps Telemedicine
applications must be developed to work with iOS
or Android OSes. This requires a bigger
development team. 4. Data Security The
information shared through the telemedicine
application is highly sensitive and private. It
needs to be secured at a high level to prevent
getting leaked by hackers.
