Healthcare App Compliance: Which Rules Should Apply to Your App

TechCare aligns healthcare technology with evolving industry requirements, helping you address regulatory expectations and manage compliance risks throughout development.

  • HIPAA and PHI: When Your App Is Covered

    HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and clearinghouses, and to the vendors that handle PHI for them. It requires safeguards for Protected Health Information, and failures can lead to data breaches, legal penalties, and loss of patient trust. Secure data handling protects your reputation and supports compliance.

  • GDPR, UK and Canadian Privacy Rules for Cross-Border Apps

    GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, and PHIPA govern health data privacy. UK healthcare apps may also need to address NHS DTAC requirements. If your app serves patients across borders, you must account for lawful data processing, consent requirements, transfer safeguards, and patient data rights.

  • Security Frameworks We Build To (SOC 2, NIST)

    SOC 2 and NIST SP 800-53 are widely used security frameworks. SOC 2 is an independent audit of a company’s controls, and NIST SP 800-53 is a catalog of security controls. Aligning with these frameworks strengthens safeguards, helps reduce cyber risk, and supports buyer security reviews.

  • App Store and Accessibility Requirements (Apple, Google Play, WCAG, Section 508)

    Healthcare apps must pass app store review, and accessibility laws apply to many health organizations. Apple and Google Play set rules for health data privacy and disclosures. WCAG guides accessible design, while Section 508 requires US federal agencies, and vendors selling to them, to provide accessible digital services.

Does My App Need It?

Not every healthcare app has the same compliance requirements. Your obligations depend on the data collected, your organization’s role, and where your users are located.

Which compliance rules apply to different healthcare app features and data handling
App feature/data handlingHIPAAGDPR / UK GDPRBAA required
Handles US PHI for a covered entity or business associate AppliesOnly if it also processes data of people in the EU/UKYes, if you act as a business associate
Processes EU/UK health data Only if processed for a US covered entity or business associateApplies (GDPR for EU data, UK GDPR for UK data)Only if handling US PHI (GDPR requires a data processing agreement instead)
Direct-to-consumer wellness Usually doesn’t apply, unless the app works for a covered entityApplies if serving EU/UK usersUsually no
Connects to a US EHR for a provider or health system AppliesOnly if processing EU/UK dataYes, if you act as a business associate
Connects to a US EHR at the patient’s request Doesn’t apply to the appOnly if processing EU/UK dataNo

This is general information, not legal advice.

Healthcare Interoperability and Integrations

TechCare connects healthcare systems through standards-based data exchange, helping your applications work across clinical platforms.

  • FHIR R4 and SMART on FHIR

    FHIR R4 and SMART on FHIR simplify how your app connects to major EHRs via RESTful APIs and OAuth 2.0. These standards support ONC interoperability requirements under the Cures Act, securing health data exchange across systems.

  • HL7 v2 and Legacy System Integration

    HL7 v2 is still widely used for hospital messaging such as patient admissions and lab results. TechCare uses integration engines to connect older HL7 v2 systems to modern cloud APIs. Keep historical workflows active without costly redesigns.

  • EHR Integrations (Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth)

    We assess integration options for Epic, Oracle Health, and athenahealth using available APIs. This is so clinicians can find patient data faster and spend less time on manual entry. Your platform syncs records across major EHR networks and reduces administrative burden.

  • Payments, Billing and Telehealth Video (BAA-ready vendors)

    Simplify digital healthcare with integrated payment, billing, and telehealth services. We connect secure payment processors with BAA-ready billing and video consultation providers to help protect patient data and support HIPAA compliance.

Frequently asked questions

TechCare offers healthcare app development services covering everything from UX/UI design and patient portals to telemedicine platforms, EHR integration, and remote patient monitoring. On the technical side, we provide cloud infrastructure, security testing, and ongoing maintenance to support secure and reliable applications.

If your organization lacks healthcare technology expertise or additional development capacity, an external partner can fill those gaps. You gain access to technical skills without recruiting an entire development department.

HIPAA compliance requires more than secure application code. Your project must address PHI safeguards, risk assessments, encryption, access controls, and audit logging. TechCare can address technical safeguards while your organization maintains required policies.

Yes, integration depends on your existing systems and vendor access. TechCare can assess available APIs, FHIR capabilities, and integration requirements. This determines how your application exchanges data with Epic, Oracle Health, or athenahealth.

Yes, healthcare applications can target both iOS and Android. Native development uses Swift or Kotlin, while Flutter supports cross-platform development. Your choice depends on app functionality, device integrations, and budget.

Yes, we can take over your existing healthcare application for ongoing development, maintenance, or modernization. Our team reviews the codebase, system architecture, security, and integrations to identify areas for improvement. Based on the assessment, we will upgrade outdated components, add new features, or redevelop parts of the application while minimizing disruption to your operations.

Our post-launch support includes bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring, infrastructure maintenance, and feature improvements. We define support hours and response times in the service agreement based on your project requirements.

The project timeline depends on application complexity, features, and integration requirements. A focused healthcare MVP may take 3–6 months, while mid-complexity applications often require 6–10 months. Enterprise healthcare platforms can take 9–18 months or longer.

You can start by outlining your project goals, target users, target markets, and essential features. It also helps to share your clinical workflows, integration needs, preferred platforms, and estimated budget. If you have existing technical documentation, we can use it to make the discovery process more efficient.

Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before you share confidential product plans, source code, or other proprietary information. If our work requires access to protected health information (PHI), we also sign a BAA before accessing it. Whenever possible, we recommend using synthetic or properly de-identified data during design and development.
