How much does a healthcare app cost?

With us, a healthcare app typically costs $15,000 to $45,000 depending on compliance. That is higher than an ordinary app of the same size because privacy law (PHIPA and PIPEDA in Canada, HIPAA in the US), security and clinical integrations add real engineering and review work on top of the core product.

What adds cost in healthcare

  • Compliant hosting, encryption and audit logging of every access to health data.
  • EHR/EMR integrations (HL7/FHIR).
  • Role-based access and consent management.
  • Security review and penetration testing.

Typical ranges

ScopeTypical price (CAD)
Patient-facing MVP (booking, intake, reminders)$15,000 to $25,000
Patient and provider app with secure messaging and an EMR integration$25,000 to $45,000
Clinical platform with several integrations, remote monitoring or devices$45,000+, quoted individually

For comparison, a similar app without health data usually costs $8,000 to $25,000. The difference is compliance work, not padding.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a healthcare app cost?
With us, typically $15,000 to $45,000 depending on compliance. A focused patient-facing MVP sits near $15,000 to $25,000; apps with secure messaging and EMR integration run higher.
Why does a healthcare app cost more than other apps?
Privacy law requires extra work: compliant hosting, audit logs, consent records, access controls, security testing and integration with clinical systems. That adds engineering and review time on top of the features.
Do you handle HIPAA?
Yes. For US clients we build on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure with encryption, access controls and audit trails, and can sign a BAA. For Canadian clients we design to PHIPA, PIPEDA and the privacy law of your province.
