Cost and compliance drivers
A telemedicine MVP — patient + doctor apps with booking and video — typically costs $15,000 – $45,000. The main cost multipliers are secure handling of health data, compliance with the relevant regulations for your market, and reliable video. These aren't features to bolt on later; they shape the architecture, so budget for them from the start.
Start with one workflow done properly
Rather than building an entire hospital system at once, launch the single workflow that delivers value — say, book-and-consult-by-video — with security and compliance done right, then expand into records, pharmacy or labs. A narrow, trustworthy first release beats a broad, leaky one.
