Need help with Patient Engagement App Development?
Whether you're developing a new digital health product or extending an existing solution with Patient Engagement App Development, 6B brings the technical expertise, healthcare insight, and experience needed to accelerate delivery.
Whether you’re building a digital front door, creating tools to support long-term conditions, or embedding self-service into your care pathways, we help you develop apps that are intuitive, accessible, and fully compliant with NHS and regulatory standards.
What Is a Patient Engagement App?
Patient engagement apps are designed to strengthen the relationship between patients and their healthcare providers. These platforms give users access to health services, educational content, care plans, and real-time communication — helping improve understanding, accountability, and health behaviour over time.
Common features include:
- Appointment booking, confirmations, and reminders
- Access to medical records, test results, and care plans
- Secure messaging with clinicians or admin teams
- Educational resources tailored to conditions or treatments
- Push notifications, alerts, and symptom trackers
- Feedback collection and patient-reported outcomes
- NHS Login, Spine integration, and GP Connect connectivity
- Compliance with DCB 0129, UK GDPR, and accessibility standards
At 6B, we create engagement apps that work across multiple devices and settings — designed around the needs of both patients and healthcare professionals.
Our Patient Engagement App Development Process
As a trusted Patient Engagement App Development company, 6B delivers your mobile platform through a clear, collaborative development journey.
We start by understanding the care setting, your service priorities, and your patient population. Whether your focus is outpatient care, mental health, chronic conditions, or preventative services, we help define the app’s purpose, feature set, and user pathways.
Our design team then creates mobile-first, WCAG-compliant interfaces that make it easy for patients of all digital skill levels to engage with your service. Development follows agile best practices, using secure, cloud-native infrastructure and support for native iOS, Android, or hybrid frameworks.
We ensure all necessary compliance — from clinical safety (DCB 0129) and data privacy (UK GDPR) to NHS interoperability — is embedded from the outset. Post-launch, we continue to support updates, integrations, and user experience improvements.
Benefits of Patient Engagement App Development
