Award-Winning Telemedicine App Development Company

Telemedicine App Development FAQs

What features do we recommend for a first release?

At Arkenea we prioritize secure video and audio consults, scheduling with reminders, e-prescription, in app chat, payment collection, visit notes, and basic analytics. We add role based access, consent capture, and audit trails to support compliance from day one.

How do we ensure HIPAA compliant design and build?

We design for privacy by default. That includes encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, least privilege, detailed logging, secure key management, and a Business Associate Agreement. We also complete threat modeling and routine security testing before launch.

Can we integrate with our existing EHR or practice systems?

Yes. We regularly integrate with major EHRs using FHIR and HL7, and connect to scheduling, billing, and pharmacy networks. We map data models, set up interfaces, and validate workflows with your team to keep clinical operations smooth.

What is the typical cost range for a custom telemedicine platform?

Budgets vary with scope and integrations. As directional guidance, an MVP with core visits, scheduling, and payments often lands in the low six figures. Complex builds with deep EHR integration, remote patient monitoring, and advanced analytics trend higher. We provide fixed price or time and materials options after a short discovery.

How long does it take to launch?

An MVP with core visits and scheduling is commonly ready in 4 to 6 months including security testing and clinical validation. Larger programs that include multiple integrations and enterprise rollout plans can run 6 to 12 months. We share a detailed delivery plan with milestones and demo cadence.

How does Arkenea handle scalability and performance?

We build on cloud native architecture with autoscaling, media servers sized for concurrent sessions, and content delivery for static assets. Load testing and chaos testing are part of our release plan so the app performs during peak clinic hours.

What about video quality and call reliability?

We use proven WebRTC frameworks with adaptive bitrate and TURN and STUN support. We monitor packet loss and jitter, and provide pre call device checks for camera and microphone. For high acuity workflows we can enable session fallback to audio while preserving notes and timestamps.

Do you support insurance billing and payments?

Yes. We can enable card on file, one time payments, and invoicing, and we can integrate with clearinghouses for claims, eligibility, and prior authorization where required. We align charge capture with visit types and provider credentials.

Can the platform support multi state operations?

We configure location and licensure rules, time zone logic, consent text by state, and controlled access to telehealth visit types. We also support state specific disclosures and document retention policies.

What accessibility standards do we meet?

Our design system targets WCAG 2.2 AA with screen reader support, keyboard navigation, sufficient contrast, captions for recorded sessions where applicable, and clear error messaging.

Who owns the data and the source code?

You own your patient data and the custom source code for the telemedicine application that we build under the agreement. We also provide data export options, documentation, and runbooks so your team can operate with confidence.

What does post launch support include?

We offer SLAs for uptime and response time, incident management, security patches, store submissions, dependency updates, and a planned roadmap cadence. We can provide 24 by 7 coverage for critical incidents if required.

How do we handle BAAs and vendor management?

Arkenea helps you review BAAs for cloud, communications, payments, and analytics vendors. We keep a current list of subprocessors and document data flows for audits.

Can we add remote patient monitoring or connected device support?

Yes. We can connect Bluetooth and cellular devices through approved hubs or SDKs, normalize readings, trigger alerts, and surface trends in provider dashboards. We align device workflows with reimbursement rules where applicable.

How do we approach clinical safety and quality?

We document clinical workflows, define contraindications and escalation paths, apply consent and triage logic, and support note templates and checklists. We track quality metrics such as no show rate, wait time, and visit completion.

What does a typical project engagement look like?

Discovery and scope, UX and UI, architecture, iterative sprints with demos every 2 weeks, security and compliance validation, pilot launch, and scale up. You will have a dedicated product manager, tech lead, and compliance advisor.

Can you migrate us from a legacy app?

We plan migration for users and data, provide cutover support, and run parallel operations as needed. We validate identity, rebuild critical workflows, and retire legacy modules safely.

How do you measure success after launch?

We track adoption, visit completion rate, provider and patient satisfaction, first call resolution, average handle time, reimbursements, and security posture. We review metrics with you and iterate to reach target outcomes.
