Want to start a school-based telehealth business?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or want to develop a telemedicine app for kids?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry, this blog has all the answers to your question regarding it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have covered all the technical, business and compliance aspects of it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with a process to build an app like Hazal Health which has recently raised $51.5M as telehealth for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does Hazal Health do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hazel Health is the largest school-based telehealth provider in Canada and the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It offers a complete solution for pediatric mental health and physical health needs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that, it partners with schools and families to help the students live better and feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does its school-based telehealth platform work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Its platform is divided into two parts \u2013 one for families and another one for schools and districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For families:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It allows families to get faster and effective care for their children when they need it \u2013 at school or at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they need to do is \u2013 connect with the care provider over a video call from the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For schools and districts:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting appointments for mental and physical health is challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the huge staff shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Hazel Health helps the schools to get on-demand appointments for their students with its large community of health care providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps students to get back to their learning by avoiding long wait times for accessing care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this is the best time to invest in a telehealth app for school kids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that our healthcare system has collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge <\/span>staffing shortage of qualified healthcare professionals<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> is the primary reason behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, it takes weeks or sometimes months to get an appointment for mental and physical health needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is impacting the lives of millions of people around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, mental health concerns are rapidly rising among students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, telehealth is proven as the best solution to overcome this challenge along with reducing the rising healthcare costs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it allows students to get the care they need in real-time from their comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it helps families to reduce spending on their children’s health.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it eliminates live-in person clinical visits which saves time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s why the adoption of telemedicine solutions is rising at a rapid pace not only for school students but for every age group.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telemedicine market size was valued at USD 91.2 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD 380.3 billion in 2030! (Source<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to develop a school-based telehealth app or platform?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You just need to follow the bellowing steps to develop telehealth for school students in Canada, USA, UK and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-1: <\/strong>Define your clinical and business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-2: <\/strong>Do plan to select the features, functionality and tech stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-3: <\/strong>Hire a healthcare-specific healthcare IT company (will explain it soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-4: <\/strong>Review app design, usability and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-5: <\/strong>Make sure your school-based telehealth platform is compliant with all the data privacy laws and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-6: <\/strong>Launch the app in the market as MVP (Minimum Viable Product).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-7: <\/strong>Collect the feedback from the students, families and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-8: <\/strong>Improve the app performance and services as per the feedback from the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long does it take to build a telehealth app like Hazel Health?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no fixed time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because telehealth app development is not just about doing the coding.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It requires an in-depth analysis to meet usability, app workflow and compliance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, no one can estimate how exactly it will take time to develop telehealth for kids.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are multiple factors that impact both time and cost to build any telemedicine app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
