Short answer
Infikey Technologies builds healthcare software: telemedicine apps, hospital management systems, EHR/EMR platforms, clinic software and pharmacy apps. We design for HIPAA in the US, NHS DSPT and DCB0129 in the UK, ABDM and the DPDP Act in India, and DHA/DoH rules in the UAE. A healthcare MVP typically costs USD 25,000–70,000.

We are not a law firm and do not certify compliance. We work with your Data Protection Officer, Clinical Safety Officer or compliance adviser and build the controls and evidence they need.
How much does healthcare software development cost?
| Product | Typical scope | Budget (USD) | Budget (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clinic management software | Scheduling, records, billing, reminders, one or a few locations | 15,000–40,000 | 12–32 lakh |
| Telemedicine app MVP | Patient and doctor apps, video, booking, e-prescriptions, payments, admin | 30,000–70,000 | 25–55 lakh |
| Hospital management system | OPD, IPD, billing, pharmacy, lab, inventory, insurance | 40,000–120,000 | 32 lakh–1 crore |
| EHR / EMR platform | Clinical documentation, orders, results, FHIR exchange | 50,000–150,000 | 40 lakh–1.25 crore |
These are planning ranges, not quotes. Integrations with labs, imaging, insurance and national health exchanges are the biggest cost variables. Try the custom software cost calculator for a quick estimate.

Interoperability and security
Healthcare software is only useful if it can exchange data safely with labs, hospitals, insurers and national systems.
- Standards: HL7 FHIR R4 (with US Core, UK Core or ABDM profiles), HL7 v2 for legacy lab and hospital systems, DICOM for imaging, ICD-10 / ICD-11, SNOMED CT and LOINC for coding.
- Access control: role-based and patient-consent-based access, break-glass emergency access with full logging.
- Encryption: PHI encrypted at rest and in transit, keys in a cloud KMS, encrypted backups.
- Hosting: HIPAA-eligible services on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud with a signed BAA; UK, India or UAE regions where data must stay local.
- Audit: every view, change and export of a patient record is logged and reviewable.
- Testing: penetration testing and a security review before go-live, plus regular dependency patching through our cybersecurity team.
Our delivery process
- Discovery: clinical workflows, users, integrations, compliance requirements and a fixed estimate for the first release.
- Clinical workflow design: we design with doctors, nurses and front-desk staff, because software that slows clinicians down does not get used.
- Build in sprints with regular demos to clinical stakeholders.
- Safety and security: clinical risk review (DCB0129 hazard log in the UK), penetration test and data protection review.
- Pilot, train, roll out: start with one department or location, then expand, with ongoing support from our managed engineering team.
