Healthcare App Development in New York & Connecticut
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.
Why healthcare app development needs a different approach
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 based in Greenwich, CT, working remotely with healthcare teams in New York and Connecticut on 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, on 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, so 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. When work is billed hourly our rate is $95–$140/hr, and every project gets a fixed-scope quote in under 24 hours.
Healthcare app development: common questions
No vendor can sell HIPAA compliance outright. It's an organizational program covering policies, training and business associate agreements, not just code. What we deliver is HIPAA-aligned engineering: encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, audit logging, data minimization and deployment on infrastructure providers that sign BAAs. That covers the technical-safeguards side so your compliance program has a sound foundation.
Healthcare builds follow our standard pricing with additional scope for compliance work: mobile apps from $8,000 USD and custom platforms from $10,000 USD. Regulated MVPs with EHR integrations or telehealth cost more than a basic app, so we scope them in fixed phases after a discovery call. Hourly work is billed at $95–$140/hr, and you get a fixed-scope quote in under 24 hours.
A focused healthcare MVP (one core patient or provider flow with authentication, secure data handling and audit logging) ships in 8–14 weeks. Products with EHR integrations or telehealth video typically run 16–28 weeks. We demo every two weeks so you see progress on real devices throughout.
Yes. We build against documented EHR/EMR APIs and healthcare data standards where the vendor exposes them, and we design integration contracts during discovery so your compliance team can review exactly what data moves where before development starts.
Yes. The same engineering discipline (encryption, access control, audit trails, data minimization) applies to fintech and other regulated products. See our guide to healthcare and fintech app developers in NYC for how the market prices this work.
