FAQ about Our Telehealth App Services
Why are your prices on the higher side?
The cost of the app depends on the desired scope, so we calculate highly precise estimates depending on each client's requirements. Unlike a beginner telemedicine development company, we do not promise unrealistic starting prices that are bound to grow during the project. Our estimates accommodate all the required functionality, and we stick to them throughout the project.
During the development, we do not compromise the solution’s quality and reliability to make the app cheaper. You get 100% unique code and advanced functionality without the risks of IP issues or security vulnerabilities.

ScienceSoft can launch a new project within a week and develop an MVP with priority features in 2–6 months. We deliver telemedicine apps fast and without reworks thanks to our established Agile development approach, CI/CD and DevOps best practices.
Would you sign a business associate agreement?
Yes, to follow HIPAA requirements, we sign this contract with the clients who operate in the US market. It legally binds us to protect ePHI during the telehealth app development or maintenance.
Can you integrate telehealth software with other apps?
Sure. We can integrate the app with custom and market-available software like EHR (e.g., athenahealth, Epic), CRM, medical imaging and lab software. Plus, we can help automate patient monitoring by enabling integrations with biosensors, smart medical devices (glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, etc.), and fitness devices (smartwatches, fitness trackers, smart scales, etc.).
What is covered by your telehealth app support contracts?
ScienceSoft’s agents cover all tiers of IT support: L1, L2, and L3. Depending on your needs, they may only help resolve basic user issues or provide comprehensive support (troubleshoot, maintain, and manage the IT infrastructure, applications, and devices). We can adapt the support time coverage to your business hours (24/7, 12/7, etc.).
