Patient Empowerment App Development

Patient Empowerment App Development

The Patient Empowerment Workflow App Development is a fixed-scope engagement designed to deliver a working, patient-facing application quickly. We implement one focused patient workflow powered by SMART-on-FHIR and FHIR APIs, creating a real, usable MVP that connects patients directly to structured clinical data.

Timeline

6-8 Weeks

Typical investment

€20,000 – €40,000 (Excluding infrastructure)

Best for

Hospitals, clinical research organizations and national health programs that need a rapid patient-facing MVP without rebuilding their entire digital front door.

Key Outcomes

A Working Patient App MVP

A deployable responsive web or mobile application with authentication, one defined workflow, and structured FHIR integration.

FHIR Read/Write Capability

The app reads and writes a defined set of FHIR resources (e.g., Patient, Observation, QuestionnaireResponse, CarePlan/Task).

A Validated Workflow Pattern

One complete, end-to-end patient journey that can be reused and scaled.

Package Content

Workflow Definition & Design

Selection and implementation of one focused workflow (e.g. Medication adherence and reminders, symptom tracking / PROMs, home measurements capture)

SMART + FHIR Integration

Authentication via SMART/OIDC, secure token handling, and scoped API access.

Defined FHIR Resource Set

FHIR read/write integration for a defined resource set (Patient, Observation, QuestionnaireResponse, CarePlan and/or Task as required by the workflow)

One Dedicated App

One dedicated web or mobile application (native optional if scoped separately)

Security Baseline

Simple authentication and authorization mechanisms in place.

Strategic Handover

Deployment to a test environment, comprehensive technical documentation (including READMEs), a prioritized backlog for the next iteration, and clear definition of intellectual property rights covering the configured workflows and implementation artifacts.

To ensure we hit the 4-6 week delivery target, this pilot focuses on high-impact essentials.

Included in the Starter Pack:

  • 1 patient workflow
  • 1 web or mobile application
  • Defined FHIR resource set
  • SMART/OIDC Authentication
  • Test/Deployment

Not included in the Starter Pack:

  • Multi-program modular architecture
  • Complex device entegrations (wearables)
  • App Store publishing
  • MDR medical device certification
  • Enterprise-wide rollout

The Engagement Path

We don’t stop at delivering an MVP. The Patient Empowerment App Development Starter Pack is the first step toward a scalable patient engagement platform.

Patient Empowerment App Development (Current Step)

Deliver one validated, working patient workflow in 6–8 weeks, integrated with FHIR and ready for real user testing.

Patient Empowerment Rollout (3–5 Months)

Expand to multiple workflows, modularize the architecture, harden the infrastructure, and prepare for broader clinical deployment.

Managed Application Operations & Optimization (Ongoing)

Provide SLA-backed monitoring, workflow optimization, security updates, and continuous improvement to keep the platform reliable and aligned with evolving care pathways.
