Best practices for creating your own mobile hospital app.
By Ann Tracy Mueller | Posted: October 12, 2011
Joe Sriver was a designer for Google before he founded DoApp, a mobile tech development firm in
Minneapolis. His business partner and CEO, Wade Beavers, was an architect at IBM. The firm recently
introduced a technology platform called myTality, which it developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic,
for creating custom hospital mobile apps.
Here are some of the simple things Sriver thinks that will make patients happy.
It’s basic things, such as:
Directions to the hospital
Email connections with clinicians
Access to health information.
The best advice for hospitals that want to develop its own mobile app is to start slowly. Find out not only
what your patients want, but also what they can technically handle.
Later, patients will be ready for more. Hospitals that start with simple tasks should plan more
complicated functionality for later.
Sriver and Beavers think mobile platforms should be multi-generational.
"Mobile doesn't discriminate around age,” Beavers says. “It's not like PCs or laptops. People older than
55 might not be terribly computer-savvy, but they're quickly becoming" highly agile smartphone users.

Reaching patients before they’re patients
One new health care app reaches patients before they reach the hospital. The NWH Wait Time iPhone
Application by MedTouch features “near real-time reporting of emergency room wait times, integrated
directions to the ER and pre-registration, and mobile optimized physician profiles with contact
information,” the company’s press release says. This app was designed for Newton-Wellesley Hospital in
Massachusetts.
Every process of development goes through different phases of evolution. The key factor is to
understand the problem and develop a solution which would score above 95 on 100 when it comes to
integration with the current Systems, thinks Dr. Chitalia – Director at Acroseas Global Solutions. The age
is of calculated developing and robust enhancing of applications within a platform and across platforms.
Dr. Chitalia feels the applications can go lighter, enabled with focused construct and enhanced coded
communications to serve the businesses well and in turn expand the revenue base.
