Custom Software

Hire Dedicated Medical App Developers in the USA

Healthcare apps are not consumer apps with a doctor on the home screen. A medical app touches PHI, often integrates with one or more EHRs, sometimes crosses the FDA Software-as-a-Medical-Device threshold, and always runs under HIPAA. Mobile developers who have only shipped consumer apps spend their first three months on a healthcare project learning what they do not know.

Taction Software’s medical app developers have shipped patient-facing apps, clinician-facing apps, and remote patient monitoring apps across iOS, Android, and React Native. Every developer has worked under a BAA, on PHI-bearing systems, with at least one EHR integration in production. Engagements start at $8,000 per engineer per month with a 14-day onboarding window and a Business Associate Agreement signed before any PHI touches our systems.

Why Medical App Development Requires Specialized Engineers

A consumer mobile developer can ship a clean UI, handle authentication, and integrate with a REST API. Medical apps add seven disciplines on top:

What We Screen For Before Placement

Every Taction medical app developer is screened on four criteria:

  • Production healthcare app experience — at least one app shipped to production on PHI-bearing data
  • Platform fluency — iOS (Swift, SwiftUI), Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), or React Native
  • HIPAA-aware mobile patterns — secure local storage, BAA-eligible third parties, audit logging
  • At least one EHR integration — typically FHIR R4 with SMART on FHIR

What a Taction Medical App Developer Does on Day One
