The goal of a healthcare mobile app is to enhance people’s health and well-being by, for example, facilitating access to information, assisting in the reinforcement of training, or automating administrative operations in healthcare offices.
Planning, creating, and designing an app for healthcare reasons is what’s known as the “healthcare mobile app development process.” The procedure starts with doing market research and finishes with releasing the app to the general audience.
Creating mobile applications for healthcare is a promising industry.
Healthcare software development’s stratospheric surge in accessible healthcare apps is undisputed.
But let’s go into this a little more.
We need to analyze the market and potential users, just as with any other software development project.
Some key numbers are as follows.
There were more than 54,000 healthcare applications in the Google Play Store as of April 2023. The worldwide crisis has reduced the growth, as can be seen here, which is a modest decline compared to Q4 of 2021. Nonetheless, we can observe that the total is once again gradually increasing.
The US healthcare app sector will reach $43.5 billion in 2022, growing 9.5% annually.
These two numbers indicate the market is expanding gradually but steadily.
And here are some additional numbers to back up this claim:
More than 80% of American people have downloaded a health or exercise app.
Consumer expenditure on mental health applications worldwide totals $270 million per year.
Nearly nine in ten people who consult their doctors through internet portals like using mobile applications.
Among American smartphone users, over 61% have looked up medical facts.
The total income from health and fitness applications in the United States is $209 million.
