Whether you’re creating a digital front door, supporting chronic condition management, or delivering personalised health services, we provide the design, development, and compliance expertise to bring your patient app to life — safely, securely, and at scale.
Understanding Patient Mobile Apps
Patient mobile apps give individuals access to healthcare services, health records, and care support — anytime, anywhere. These apps play a key role in enabling digital-first healthcare, reducing pressure on staff, and improving outcomes through self-service, reminders, education, and communication.
Common features of patient apps include:
- Appointment booking, reminders, and cancellations
- Secure messaging with clinical or admin teams
- Access to medical records, test results, and prescriptions
- Remote symptom tracking and health questionnaires
- Medication reminders and care plan adherence
- Integration with NHS Login, NHS App, and GP Connect
- In-app payments, feedback collection, and educational content
- Accessibility, privacy, and clinical safety compliance
At 6B, we create patient-facing apps that balance usability and security, integrate with existing systems, and meet all relevant NHS and UK health tech standards.
Our Patient Mobile App Development Process
As a leading Patient Mobile App Development company, 6B delivers mobile platforms through a structured, end-to-end process that combines service design, technical development, and regulatory assurance.
We begin by understanding your service offering, patient needs, and existing infrastructure. Whether you’re building a standalone app or adding patient-facing functionality to an existing platform, we help shape user journeys, define feature sets, and plan integrations with national and third-party systems.
Our design team creates responsive, accessible mobile interfaces across iOS and Android. We follow WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines and conduct usability testing to ensure inclusivity across all user demographics.
Development is carried out using secure, scalable technologies — with cloud-native architecture, encrypted data storage, and support for APIs, FHIR, and NHS services. We build in compliance with DCB 0129, UK GDPR, and ISO 27001 from day one, and support go-live planning, onboarding, and post-launch iteration.
Benefits of Patient Mobile App Development

For patients, apps increase convenience and confidence — providing on-demand access to health services, reducing missed appointments, and enabling proactive self-care. For providers, mobile apps reduce administrative burden, improve communication, and enhance the efficiency of care delivery.
