Healthcare App Development in New York
NixMar Studio builds patient-facing apps, provider portals and telehealth software for healthcare and health-adjacent companies in New York and Connecticut — with HIPAA-aligned technical foundations from the first sprint, not bolted on at the end.
Software for healthcare teams that can't afford shortcuts
Healthcare software fails differently: a slow ecommerce site loses a sale, but a patient app that mishandles PHI loses trust, contracts and compliance standing. That's why we design regulated builds around data protection from day one — encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, audit logging and infrastructure choices that support HIPAA-aligned deployments.
We are a senior engineering studio in the NY/CT corridor working with React Native, Next.js, NestJS and PostgreSQL. We build the product, the compliance-conscious architecture underneath it, and the documentation your compliance officer will ask for.
What we build for healthcare & health-adjacent companies
Patient-facing mobile apps
Appointment booking, intake forms, medication reminders and secure messaging — iOS and Android from a single React Native codebase.
Provider & staff portals
Role-based web portals for clinicians and back-office teams: scheduling, records workflows, referrals and reporting dashboards.
Telehealth features
Video visit flows, waiting rooms, pre-visit questionnaires and post-visit summaries integrated with your existing systems.
Integrations & automation
Connecting your product to EHR/EMR systems, labs, payment processors and CRMs through documented, auditable APIs.
What “HIPAA-ready architecture” means in our builds
HIPAA compliance is an organizational responsibility that includes policies, training and signed BAAs — no software vendor can sell you “HIPAA certification”. What we deliver is the technical side done right:
Encryption everywhere
TLS in transit, encryption at rest, and encrypted backups on infrastructure providers that sign BAAs (e.g. AWS).
Access control & audit trails
Role-based permissions, session management and audit logging of PHI access events.
Data minimization
We scope what the app collects and stores to what the workflow needs — less PHI stored means less risk surface.
Deployment you control
Source code ownership and infrastructure in your accounts, so your compliance posture never depends on our availability.
How a regulated build runs
Discovery & risk mapping
We map user flows, data flows and where PHI enters the system. You get a technical blueprint your compliance team can review before code is written.
Design & architecture
UX for patients and providers in Figma, plus the security architecture: auth model, encryption plan, logging plan and integration contracts.
Build with demos every 2 weeks
React Native + NestJS + PostgreSQL. You test on real devices throughout — nothing is a surprise at launch.
QA, launch & support
Device QA, App Store / Google Play submission where applicable, deployment to your cloud accounts, and 3 months of included post-launch support.
What healthcare builds cost
Mobile apps start at $8,000 USD and custom software platforms at $10,000 USD; regulated builds with integrations typically land higher depending on scope. MVPs ship in 8–14 weeks. Our rates run $95–$140/hr — below the ~$102/hr NYC senior-engineer average — with fixed-scope quotes in under 24 hours.
