Digital healthcare in the field: why apps are now essential

Digital healthcare is no longer a thing of the future. From hospitals to mental health institutions: more and more organisations are experiencing how technology helps deliver better care with fewer resources. Increasingly, organisations want to develop an app that perfectly aligns with their care processes and user needs. But how do you approach this, and what should a good healthcare app include?

Healthcare is changing, and digitalisation is growing with it

The pressure on healthcare is high. Staff shortages, administrative burdens, and increasing demand for care make it increasingly difficult to continue delivering personal care. At the same time, clients expect more convenience, speed, and engagement. This tension makes innovation essential.

Digital healthcare helps organisations tackle these challenges. Apps play a key role in this. They make processes more efficient, give clients more control over their health, and relieve healthcare professionals of their daily tasks. But only if they are well-designed and fit the practical needs.

This is how a healthcare app strengthens your organisation

A healthcare app is not just a digital tool. It is a strategic addition to your services. Think of:

• Less manual administration through automated data processing

• Direct contact between client and healthcare provider via chat or video consultation

• Insights into progress through personalised dashboards

• Higher therapy adherence through reminders and digital guidance

• More peace in the workplace thanks to self-monitoring by clients
  

In that case, developing a healthcare app is not a nice-to-have, but an investment in future-proof healthcare.

Strategy, design, and technology in one approach

A successful healthcare app does not start with technology but with a clear goal. What do you want to improve? Which processes can be more efficient? Which users are central? At DTT, we guide this process step by step. Together, we analyse the challenges within your organisation and translate them into a concrete app concept. We then develop a solution that is not only technically sound but also works well for both healthcare providers and clients. We take into account:

• Legislation and regulations, such as GDPR

• Accessibility for low-digital target groups

• Integrations with existing systems

• Intuitive navigation and user-friendly design
  

Our approach is flexible but always focused on quality, results, and safety.

Digital healthcare requires the right partner

The right digital healthcare solution makes a noticeable difference in daily practice. That is why more and more organisations choose a development partner who thinks along, asks the right questions, and truly understands healthcare.

As a digital agency with experience in the healthcare sector, we help organisations develop safe, user-friendly, and scalable apps. From e-health solutions to supportive tools for healthcare providers: we think strategically about the best route to results. Below is a selection of our collaborations:

• OpenUp: is a digital solution that makes psychological help accessible to everyone, at any time, and from any location. Through the app, you can chat 24/7 with certified psychologists, book consultations, and participate in group sessions. DTT collaborates with OpenUp on this solution to make mental well-being approachable, flexible, and affordable.
  

• LifeCheck by Teladoc: is an app and web solution for consumers, health insurers, and companies. Users work on a healthier lifestyle and receive advice from healthcare professionals, while partners enhance their healthcare packages with accessible e-health services.
  

• Hospital Bed Checker: is an app and web solution that provides healthcare providers with real-time insights into available hospital beds per department. Developed on behalf of the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport during the COVID-19 crisis, the tool still supports healthcare institutions in efficient care planning.

Whether it is an app for home care organisations, youth care, hospital care, or mental health institutions, we build solutions that work. Not just on paper, but also in practice.
