A hospital app is only useful when it shows the same appointments, tokens, reports and bills the front desk sees. We build patient and staff apps on top of HIMS, or on your existing hospital system, so the app and the hospital never disagree.
Hospital mobile app development means two families of apps. The patient app lets a patient book an appointment, see their token position, receive reports and pay bills. The staff apps give doctors, nurses and the front desk the parts of the hospital system they need while moving around the building.
Elevate Aura builds both on top of HIMS, the hospital and clinic management system, so appointments, the OP queue, EMR entries, lab results, imaging from AuraPACS and billing are read from and written to one database. If your hospital already runs a different system with an API, the apps connect to that instead.
The apps ship for Android and iOS from one codebase, and the hospital's branding goes on the store listing and every screen.
The common failures are all the same failure: the app and the hospital system are two separate worlds.
The app takes a booking, an email goes to the front desk, someone retypes it into the system. Slots clash and patients wait.
The queue in the app is a guess. Patients still crowd the corridor because the number on the wall is the real one.
Lab and imaging reports are printed and collected in person because the app cannot reach the LIMS or PACS.
A consultant on rounds wants the last prescription and the latest vitals, and the app shows only a calendar.
The amount in the app differs from the bill at the counter because billing lives elsewhere.
Registration, appointment, token, consult, lab, pharmacy, bill, discharge. We find the steps an app should remove.
HIMS, or your existing hospital system through its API.
Booking, token position, reports, bills, WhatsApp updates, family members on one login.
Doctor rounds, nursing vitals, front desk check-in, each with its own role and access.
One OP department runs the apps for real before the rest of the hospital.
Store release with the hospital's brand, then department by department.
Workflow: The patient picks a consultant and a slot in the app; the slot is blocked in HIMS at that moment and a WhatsApp confirmation goes out.
Result: The front desk sees the booking in the morning without retyping anything.
Workflow: On arrival the patient checks in; the app shows the token position and sends a notice two tokens before their turn.
Result: Fewer people standing in the corridor, and the queue on the wall and in the app agree.
Workflow: When the lab verifies a result or a radiology report is finalised, the patient receives a secure link on WhatsApp and the PDF in the app.
Result: No trip back to the hospital to collect paper.
Workflow: The doctor opens the bed list on the phone, reads last night's vitals and writes the e-prescription against the encounter.
Result: Pharmacy sees the prescription in its dispensing queue immediately.
Patient app plus doctor and ward apps.
Simple booking and reports for a small team.
Many doctors, one queue app.
Report delivery on WhatsApp and in-app.
A roster and queue in the pocket.
Live OP, IP, bed and collection numbers on a phone.
Problem: A distribution business run entirely on WhatsApp and Excel.
Built: Field app, manager dashboard, GST billing and payment tracking.
Stack: React Native, Supabase, WordPress.
Problem: No online store or way to manage distributors.
Built: Storefront, distributor portal, quote-to-order and 253 SEO pages.
Stack: Supabase, JavaScript, Playwright.
No. The apps are built on HIMS by default because every module is already there, but they can connect to another hospital system that exposes an API. What the app can show depends on what that API provides, which we confirm before scoping.
Yes. One login can hold several patient profiles, so a parent books for a child or an elderly relative and receives their reports and reminders on the same phone.
When a lab result is verified in HIMS or a radiology report is finalised in AuraPACS, the patient gets the PDF in the app and a secure WhatsApp link that opens without a login. See WhatsApp report sharing.
HIMS is built to be ABHA and ABDM ready, and the patient app inherits that structure for records. We do not describe the software as certified; the hospital completes its own ABDM registration.
The doctor app shows the roster, the live consult queue, the patient's EMR and lets the doctor write an e-prescription and open imaging. It is described in full on doctor app development.
Live in 30 working days where scope allows, usually starting with the patient app and one department as a pilot. Staff apps follow in the same codebase, and the hospital's branding is applied before release.
Tell us the workflow it has to support. We will scope the app, the backend it talks to and the timeline.
