Building Healthcare and Lifestyle Apps People Actually Keep

Health apps have a brutal retention curve: most lose the majority of users within two weeks. Regulatory correctness is mandatory, but it is not what keeps anyone engaged.

We build for behaviour first. Onboarding asks for the minimum needed to deliver a first useful moment — a logged symptom, a booked appointment, a synced wearable reading — inside the first session. Every additional field before that moment costs installs.

Then we automate the boring parts. Passive data capture from HealthKit or Google Fit beats manual logging. Reminders adapt to the user's actual pattern instead of firing at a fixed hour they have already learned to dismiss.

Around all of it sits the non-negotiable engineering: HIPAA-aligned data handling, encryption in transit and at rest, audited access, granular consent and clean separation between clinical and marketing data.
