Must have features of a healthcare app

The first thing that needs to be present in healthcare apps is the login page. You must ask your users to log in using their email address and phone number before accessing the app. You can also ask for other additional information like age, weight, height, blood pressure, diabetes problem if present and other specific diseases. This way you can get all the basic data of that user and then can provide him with personalized content.

Creating a doctor’s profile

You are building a healthcare app and it will be incomplete without doctors profile. The profile usually consists of the doctor’s name, his area of specialization, the address of his clinic, timings, etc.

Search and filter

The search option makes it easier for users to find information. Using the search options, one can find a specific doctor according to his requirements. Then there is a filter option which filters the results according to the needs of users.

Appointment booking

Another essential feature which must be present in every healthcare app is appointment booking. This allows the users to directly book their appointment with a particular doctor. This is a really convenient option which you just can’t miss.

Geolocation

Geolocation or navigation helps users to reach a particular hospital or clinic in the shortest possible time. This feature is really beneficial to the users, especially in a life and death situation.

Payment
