Key Challenges We Handle

HIPAA compliance is not optional

Any app handling PHI (Protected Health Information) in the US must be HIPAA compliant. This means encrypted storage, audit logs, Business Associate Agreements with all vendors, and access controls. Add 20โ€“30% to your development budget for compliance.

Licensing and regulations

Telemedicine providers must be licensed in each state where they practice. Your app can facilitate the consultation, but the compliance burden is on the provider. Make this explicit in your terms of service.

Video call reliability

Medical consultations require rock-solid video quality. Use Twilio Video or Daily.co โ€” both have HIPAA BAAs โ€” rather than building WebRTC from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build a telemedicine app?

A telemedicine MVP (booking, video, messaging, records) costs $25,000โ€“$60,000 with compliance infrastructure included. Enterprise EMR-integrated platforms cost $200,000+.

Do I need to be HIPAA compliant?

If you handle any US patient health data, yes. This affects your database vendor (Supabase offers HIPAA BAAs), your video provider (Twilio, Daily.co), your email vendor, and your infrastructure. We've built HIPAA-compliant apps before.
