Need help with Virtual Ward App Development?
Whether you're developing a new digital health product or extending an existing solution with Virtual Ward App Development, 6B brings the technical expertise, healthcare insight, and experience needed to accelerate delivery.
Whether you’re launching a remote care service or expanding existing capacity, our platforms are built to align with national virtual ward ambitions while meeting NHS compliance and safety standards.
What Is a Virtual Ward App?
Virtual ward apps enable patients to be safely monitored and supported at home, with clinicians remotely managing care via mobile interfaces and integrated dashboards. These tools combine data capture, real-time alerts, and structured workflows — helping providers reduce hospital admissions, ease bed pressure, and deliver personalised care at scale.
Key features typically include:
- Real-time vitals capture (via manual input or connected devices)
- Clinical dashboards with risk indicators and escalation logic
- Messaging and video consultation functionality
- Remote triage and symptom tracking
- Custom care pathways and task assignments
- Integration with NHS systems (e.g. GP Connect, NHS Spine)
- Support for DCB 0129, UK GDPR, and ISO 27001 compliance
- Alerting and workflow automation for community teams
At 6B, we build virtual ward apps tailored to your clinical model — whether supporting acute respiratory infections, frailty, heart failure, or multi-condition care at home.
Our Virtual Ward App Development Process
As a specialist Virtual Ward App Development company, we support the full journey — from defining your remote care model to technical deployment and real-world scaling.
We begin by aligning with your clinical team to map out how patients will be enrolled, monitored, and escalated. From device connectivity to patient education and staff workflows, we ensure every requirement is captured and converted into usable functionality.
Our design team creates intuitive, mobile-first interfaces for both clinicians and patients — ensuring accessibility and engagement across digital literacy levels. We build secure backend systems that support real-time syncing, user permissions, task logging, and care team collaboration.
Development follows NHS-grade architecture, with embedded support for clinical safety case development (DCB 0129), NHS assurance processes, and integration with national APIs. We also support user testing, rollout planning, and post-launch optimisation.
