The lack of physical freedom during the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an impressive app-usage boom in a wide variety of sectors, helping us fill the human connection void we were all craving for. Our social and working lives – but more prominently our health – became software-dependant.
The healthcare app market is currently registering a huge demand for:
mHealth apps
Telehealth and health IT systems
Wearables and fitness trackers
Software for medical devices
The programming language is the backbone of any type of software. There are a plethora of available programming languages. However, there are many crucial aspects that healthcare app developers need to take into account before making a choice. Here are some examples:
App type (e.g. mobile, wearable, website, etc.)
Supported device or platform (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows, etc.)
Security features to ensure HIPAA compliance
Maintainability to ensure long-term sustainability
Complexity of the app
The desired app features
When it comes to developing healthcare apps, there are no particular best programming languages. The developer’s choice depends – among many other factors – on the above-mentioned aspects too.
