Budgeting for Your Medical Tech Product
One of the most common questions we get is: “How much does it cost to build a healthcare app?” The answer depends on complexity, compliance needs, and integrations.
Major Cost Drivers
- HIPAA Compliance: Securing data encryption, audits, and access controls adds 20-30% to development time.
- EHR Integrations: Connecting with Epic, Cerner, or Athenahealth requires specialized APIs (HL7/FHIR) which increases complexity.
- Platform Support: Native iOS vs. Android vs. Web.
Estimated Price Ranges (2026)
- Simple Telemedicine App: $40,000 – $80,000
- Custom Clinic Portal: $30,000 – $60,000
- Full-Scale EMR System: $150,000+
How to Save Costs
Partnering with an experienced agency like Softsols allows you to leverage pre-built modules and domain expertise, significantly lowering the barrier to entry compared to hiring a full in-house team.
