ORLink - Surgical workflow App

iPhone and iPad Application

Arkenea helped ORLINK to architect and build their AI‑powered, cloud‑native surgical workflow platform deployable on cloud and iOS tablets and phones by designing an intuitive interface for real‑time preference card management and procedural guidance.

The app is engineered with a secure, HIPAA‑compliant backend on Ubuntu servers with encrypted data volumes, Docker containers optimized for medical workloads, and continuous monitoring via AWS GuardDuty and AlienVault.

The AI algorithms power step recognition and predictive alerts, while automated backups, integrity checks, and 24/7 uptime monitoring ensure mission‑critical reliability, putting exactly what surgical teams need at their fingertips.

healthcare app development for novo nordisk

Novo Nordisk - a Fortune 500 Pharma Company

iPad Applications

We helped develop an enterprise sales iPad app for Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk to streamline their product presentations, which helped the company increase their prescription rates. Arkenea architected and shipped a native iPad app in Swift, leveraging SwiftUI for a fluid, brand‑aligned UI and Core Data for secure offline caching of product catalogs. 

Arkenea took an end-to-end, user‑centered approach to design and develop Novo Nordisk’s enterprise iPad app. We began with stakeholder workshops and physician journey mapping to define key presentation flows and data needs. 

From there, our engineers created a modular, offline‑first architecture that caches the full product catalog on device, ensuring reps can present uninterrupted in areas with poor connectivity and seamlessly syncs updates whenever a network is available.

Kethan App - AI for Surgeons

AI-first iOS Application

Arkenea helped develop this AI-first iOS application, starting with whiteboard workshops to map the implant‑identification workflow and define a clear solution roadmap.

We then engineered a convolutional neural network driven mobile app for Kethan Solutions that instantly recognizes and matches a wide range of implants from X‑ray images, no matter the angle and displays key details (manufacturer, model, specifications) in under five seconds.

To keep the library up to date, our team built an intuitive admin panel for on‑the‑fly addition of new implant entries, and crafted a friendly UI optimized for gloved use in the OR.

Backed by an image‑processing pipeline tuned for speed and validated against extensive implant datasets, this solution slashes prep time, eliminates guesswork, and elevates patient safety.

Through prototyping, we bring your vision to life early on, allowing you to visualize the app’s flow, gather feedback, and make informed decisions before development begins.

3. ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN AND APP DEVELOPMENT

With the foundation in place, we move on to defining the app’s form, function, and layout, ensuring it’s both visually appealing and user-friendly. Our mobile app development team then builds out the front end and back end of the app, creating a seamless and secure user experience. We integrate essential APIs to connect with third-party systems and design a robust database architecture to manage and store data efficiently, all while maintaining healthcare-grade security and HIPAA compliance.

4. TESTING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

Once app development is underway, we begin rigorous testing to ensure the mobile application performs flawlessly. This includes usability testing to validate the user experience, performance testing to ensure speed and stability, functional testing to confirm every feature works as intended, and security testing to safeguard sensitive healthcare data. Our goal is to deliver a reliable, high-performing app that meets the highest standards of quality and compliance.

5. LAUNCH AND MAINTAIN

Finally, we prepare for a smooth launch by planning the deployment process, ensuring data migration is secure, and enabling interoperability with existing healthcare systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Healthcare App Development

How much does it cost to build a healthcare app?

Costs depend on features, integrations, and compliance scope. MVPs typically start around $50k-$80k, while full-scale HIPAA-compliant apps with EHR integrations can exceed $150k. We run a discovery phase to deliver transparent, accurate estimates.

How long does it take to develop a custom healthcare app?

An MVP usually takes 4-8 months; complex platforms can take up to 12 months. Compliance, integrations, and testing extend timelines but ensure reliability and safety.

How do I find a reliable healthcare app development company?

Prioritize proven healthcare experience over general app portfolios. Ask for case studies, compliance documentation, and workflow knowledge. Arkenea has 14+ years building HIPAA-compliant healthcare apps and has many success stories of clients raising venture funding, successful exits, etc. Check our healthcare app development services in New York, California and St. Louis.

How do you ensure HIPAA compliance and protect patient data?

We implement end-to-end encryption, role-based access, audit logs, technical safeguards as mandated by HIPAA guidelines, and HIPAA-compliant hosting. Every project includes security controls embedded from design to deployment.

How do you handle integrations with EHRs, EMRs, and other systems?

We integrate with Epic, Cerner, PointClickCare, MatrixCare, Redox, as just some examples of EHRs and other systems we have experience with. We use FHIR/HL7. Our APIs/middleware maintain interoperability and secure data exchange.

What are the hidden risks or costs in outsourcing healthcare app development?

Common risks that you see across many dev shops include weak compliance, miscommunication, and rework by non-specialists. We mitigate with transparent pricing, defined milestones, and strong product management focus. Of course, it helps that we're 100% focused on healthcare app development for the last 14+ years.

Who owns the code and IP once the app is built?

You own 100% of the source code, designs, and documentation. We operate under work-for-hire with full repository and credential handover at completion.

How do you ensure the app fits real clinical workflows and patient needs?

We run user research and workflow mapping with clinicians and patients, then validate via usability testing. This drives adoption and efficiency in real settings.

How do you manage communication and feedback during development?

Weekly checkin calls, sprint demos, and weekly reports provide full visibility. You collaborate directly with our Project Manager and tech lead to avoid gaps.

What happens after launch? Do you offer support and maintenance?

Yes. We provide maintenance plans with flexible monthly billing for updates, bug fixes, performance tuning, and compliance patches based on your project needs.

What are the biggest challenges in healthcare app development, and how do you solve them?

Top challenges that you'd commonly see are to do with compliance, integrations, and adoption. We use HIPAA-first architecture, proven EHR frameworks, and early user testing to de-risk delivery for your healthcare application.
