Prateek Khera

Healthcare industry is evolving rapidly, demanding tailored software solutions to improve patient care, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. However, custom software development can often seem resource-intensive. By adopting cost-effective strategies and leveraging existing solutions, organisations can develop robust software without breaking the bank.

We follow following cost-effective strategies to help our customers in healthcare space:

  1. Leverage smartProducts

    At smartData Enterprises, we have around 9 pre-built healthcare products like HSS (Healthcare Software Solutions), which serves as a strong foundation for customisation, significantly reducing development costs and timelines. Our products address key areas such as:

    • SmartHealth: For secure patient management, EMR systems, and data handling.
    • SmartTelehealth: For video consultations, scheduling, and real-time care delivery. Etc.
  2. Use Cloud-Based Infrastructure

    Cloud-based infrastructure such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud offers cost-effective, scalable solutions. We can utilise services like Amazon Transcribe Medical, Azure Cognitive Services, amazon health lake and many more options are available.

  3. Invest in Automation and Quality Assurance:

    Helps to reduces long-term costs by ensuring reliability and security. Using automated testing for HSS products guarantees:

    • Faster issue identification and resolution.
    • Secure, scalable performance under heavy workloads.
  4. Focus on a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

    Prioritising an MVP helps organisations develop only the core, high-impact features first.

  5. Integrate Open-Source Tools and APIs

    Incorporating open-source tools and third-party APIs such as Open-source EMR and data analytics tools to enhance functionality without additional licensing costs.

    • Public APIs for payment gateways, video consultations, and secure messaging.
