WHY MOBILE HEALTH APPLICATIONS ARE AN URGENT TREND IN SWITZERLAND’S HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM

According to a report by PS Market Research, the mHealth market is forecast to reach $154.1 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%, primarily driven by the increasing demand for remote disease prevention, personal health monitoring, and health record management. In Switzerland, where the healthcare system is well-developed, mobile applications play a crucial role in connecting patients with service providers.

Several factors driving this robust development include:

  • Increasing popularity of health technology : Health companies are accelerating the deployment of integrated digital platforms, enabling users to access personal health information transparently and easily track their improvement progress.
  • User-centered experience: The tech-savvy generation expects applications to be intuitive, with a user-friendly interface. Simplicity and efficiency are key to retaining them.
  • Data-driven personalization: The integration of AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics allows applications to provide tailored suggestions for each user, creating tangible value and increasing repeat usage rates.
  • Regulatory compliance and data security: As digital applications evolve, the requirements for data protection become stricter. Therefore, platforms that balance features and compliance will have a competitive advantage in the market.

Overall, investing in professionally designed digital health interaction platforms is an inevitable trend, laying the foundation for innovation, competition, and sustainable development in the industry.

CLIENT REQUIREMENTS AND CHALLENGES IN DEVELOPMENT

Our client, a pioneering company in the health technology sector in Switzerland –aims to improve user engagement and increase retention through a more optimized health application. Although they already had a basic platform, the old interface did not meet expectations for a smooth experience, and real-time responsiveness was limited especially when needing to integrate with insurance systems or future healthcare partners.

Thus, they turned to IMT Solutions with clear requirements:

  • Enhance UI/UX design to make the application more intuitive, reduce usage barriers, and align with modern design trends.
  • Optimize application performance, ensuring fast response times, smooth transitions, and stability even with multiple users simultaneously.
  • Integrate real-time data analytics and backend health services, providing accurate and continuously updated health information.
  • Ensure long-term scalability, allowing for easy addition of new features and integration with other platforms in the digital health technology.

The project requires not only high technical skills but also an understanding of user behavior in mobile environments and adherence to industry standards.

IMT’S APPROACH IN THIS PROJECT

To achieve the set goals, IMT Solutions has built a cross-functional team consisting of product consultants, interface designers, and application development engineers. The development process is implemented using the Agile model to ensure flexibility and continuous interaction between the team in Vietnam and the client group in Switzerland.

The implementation strategy includes:

  • Requirement analysis and design optimization: Through in-depth discussions, we align on actual needs, adjusting functionalities to meet user expectations and business objectives.
  • Modern and consistent design: A dedicated healthcare design system is established, ensuring an interface that is visually appealing, easy to use, and enhances user trust.
  • Performance acceleration: By applying code splitting techniques, smart caching, and optimized API calls, the application can respond quickly across various devices and network conditions.
  • Effective state management: By integrating Redux and MobX, we smoothly handle complex data interactions while ensuring good maintainability. Seamless backend connection: Using RESTful and GraphQL APIs to synchronize health data in real-time, update user progress, and provide interactive care programs.
