HIPAA Compliant Mobile App Development for eCommerce
App development is critical for eCommerce companies, and consumers have embraced apps in a big way for their internet-connected devices. Mobile apps sell in locations like Apple's App Store, Blackberry App World, and Google Play. In particular, eCommerce companies get strong cost-value results by developing proprietary apps for their customers because these applications make it easier to order on mobile devices and provide shortcuts for many online activities. Fitness and health apps, which are usually subject to HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, must have an accompanying HIPAA compliant website. Downloads of fitness apps have increased 87 percent faster than market averages according to TechCrunch.[1]
Wearable Applications Gain Traction
The latest generation of wearable applications monitors physical activity, health conditions, and fitness metrics such as calories burned, steps taken, and distance covered. Consumers are embracing wearable apps that are built into clothes and accessories. The apps track, record, and store key metrics like blood pressure, pulse rates, glucose levels, and other proprietary and confidential information that fall under HIPAA standards and regulations. These products and their related apps provide a bonanza for eCommerce companies, but these apps could potentially expose health information if HIPAA security best practices aren't followed. Private medical practices, insurance companies, medical device providers, and fitness apps must comply with HIPAA rules or face fines, penalties, data breaches, lawsuits, and damaged customer relations. They need the best HIPAA compliant CRM software available from a trusted medical app developer.
