Custom Web Apps for Clinics & Medical Practices
In short
Aqib Ops builds HIPAA-aware custom apps for clinics and medical practices in 6–10 weeks. Each app delivers a patient-facing intake + scheduling flow, role-aware staff portals (front desk, clinician, biller), an EHR sync layer (Athenahealth, DrChrono, Elation), and the audit-trail backbone PHI workflows require.
The problem
Most clinic apps are either off-the-shelf practice-management systems that don't fit the workflow, or stitched-together Google Forms + spreadsheets that can't pass a HIPAA audit. Clinics need something narrowly fitted to their workflow that stays compliant by default.
Our approach
We map the patient journey on a whiteboard before designing a screen — every PHI touchpoint, every handoff between staff roles. We build PHI isolation into the schema, audit logging into every mutation, and EHR sync as a durable background job. The patient-facing flow is mobile-first; the staff portal is desktop-optimized.
Stack we'd reach for
React + tRPC + Postgres (RLS)
Type-safe stack with PHI isolation enforced at the database.
AWS HIPAA-eligible (RDS, S3, KMS)
Signed BAA across infrastructure; encryption at rest and in transit.
Athenahealth / DrChrono / Elation API
EHR sync for the platforms most independent clinics actually use.
Twilio HIPAA SMS
Patient reminders that don't accidentally violate the BAA chain.
Stripe + insurance billing API
Co-pays via Stripe; insurance claims via Inovalon or Change Healthcare.
What you'd get
- Patient-facing intake + scheduling (mobile-first)
- Clinician + front-desk + biller role portals
- EHR sync (read/write) for your platform
- HIPAA-aware audit log on every PHI access
- Patient SMS reminders + secure messaging
- Stripe co-pay collection + insurance claim hand-off
Frequently asked
Is your stack HIPAA-aligned?
Yes — we build on AWS HIPAA-eligible services with signed BAAs, enforce PHI isolation at the database layer, and ship audit logging on every PHI access. Formal HIPAA risk assessment is a separate engagement with a partner like Vanta.
Can you sync with our EHR?
Yes. Athenahealth, DrChrono, and Elation are first-class. Other EHRs (NextGen, Practice Fusion, eClinicalWorks) are doable given API access; some need sponsorship — we'll scope that in discovery.
What about insurance billing?
We integrate with clearinghouses like Inovalon or Change Healthcare for claim submission, and Stripe for co-pay collection. Full revenue-cycle automation is a separate workstream — we usually start with co-pays and patient billing.
How much does a custom clinic app cost?
Most clinic apps we ship land between $35k and $80k depending on EHR integration scope and how many role-portals you need at launch. Cheaper than a year of fighting practice-management software.
How long does it take?
6–10 weeks for a typical clinic app. Multi-location practices, complex billing flows, or apps with insurance verification can stretch to 12–14 weeks.
