We are nearing the COVID-free era. But don\u2019t get excited over it. Because it won\u2019t be the same as the pre-pandemic era – especially for healthcare apps!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did everyone used to <\/strong>think of healthcare app development before the pandemic? <\/strong>  <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We still remember one of the meetings we had with a healthcare entrepreneur in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discussed the future of healthcare delivery models and wound up the meeting with a conclusion that the in-person care delivery model will continue dominating for many more years and an app-based care delivery approach won\u2019t work as providers would never find it an efficient medium to offer quality care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the belief of everyone. They could not figure out where healthcare mobile apps could fit in the healthcare ecosystem<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where everyone was most confused was the clinical values<\/strong> an app could offer. Many even argued that care delivery with mobile apps could eliminate the scope for good patient-doctor interaction and relations which is crucial for enhanced patients outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare IT & compliance experts highlighted the firm possibilities of privacy issues<\/strong> while integrating healthcare mobile apps and existing healthcare IT systems such as EMR, EHR.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare business analysts gave one more reason to not invest in healthcare apps. They claimed that possibilities to generate multiple revenue streams with a healthcare app were limited which could restrict earning opportunities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, everyone was happy to see the same, decade-old healthcare ecosystem for many more decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How COVID-19 changed the healthcare app market and everyone\u2019s beliefs? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Soon in March 2020, the pandemic proved everyone wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile-based care delivery models<\/strong> have been adopted on a larger scale and soon became the dominant care delivery model.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it small clinics, large hospitals or even long-term care homes,\u00a0 they all switched to healthcare mobile apps for rapid, quality and affordable care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of inquiries we received in 2020 for healthcare mobile app development <\/strong>was\u00a0double than the inquiries we received in the last 4 years combined and this clearly depicts the higher investment in healthcare mobile apps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very obvious that healthcare providers, enterprises and startups are investing more in app development for healthcare as people have become comfortable with healthcare apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several surveys suggest that more than 60% of the Canadian population are ready to use telemedicine apps to see a doctor online rather than visiting his clinic in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few biggest reasons behind the high adoption of healthcare apps on the consumer front are fear of getting the virus if they go outside, convenient ways to seek healthcare services & manage their health and affordable care with health cards and private insurance-covered medical services.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, one way COVID-19 changed the healthcare app market is by exposing the real benefits of healthcare mobile apps<\/strong> to consumers and leaving no choice for healthcare providers, startups and enterprises other than providing personalized, quality, rapid and affordable care<\/strong> with apps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its usability and adoption, COVID-19 has also changed the business perspective all business experts had for healthcare mobile apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several healthcare startups with mobile apps reported a dramatic increase in their revenue. A record number of healthcare startups also closed funding rounds and expanded their business footprints.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was the fastest growth we have ever experienced for any industry. And a major factor that fueled the growth was new possibilities for generating several revenue streams<\/strong> from a single mobile app.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, pharmacy apps delivering medicine online can be able to generate one more revenue stream by offering telemedicine service from the same app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemedicine apps can also be able to generate an extra revenue stream by integrating the healthcare eCommerce module. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, COVID-19 has brought a much-needed change in the healthcare app ecosystem by not just promoting the healthcare technologies but also by bringing patients, providers, and technologies together via the most accessible medium – a mobile app!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which healthcare apps will dominate the post-pandemic healthcare market? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
