Healthcare & wellness
Healthcare and wellness software people can trust
Navelo Software designs and builds health, wellness and clinic software — patient-facing apps, personal tracking tools and practice dashboards — with privacy, accessibility and regulatory care built in from the first sprint.
Overview
Health data is the most personal data there is. Products in this space succeed when users feel safe enough to be honest with them — which means minimal data collection, clear consent and security that works quietly in the background.
Two of our own apps, CyclePrivate and BodyLog, keep sensitive health information on the user's device by default with no account required. SmileDesk shows how a clinic website and staff dashboard can work as one system.
The problem
What makes this sector hard.
01
Trust is the product
Users won't log sensitive information into an app they don't trust with it.
02
Regulation varies by market
Rules like HIPAA and GDPR shape what you can collect, where it lives and who can see it.
03
Store scrutiny
Apple and Google review health apps closely for disclosures, claims and data handling.
04
Clinical workflows are complex
Appointments, records, treatment plans and billing need to fit how staff actually work.
05
Accessibility matters more
Health products serve people of every age and ability — often at stressful moments.
What we build
How we solve it.
01
Privacy-first architecture
Local-first storage, encryption and data minimisation so less sensitive data is ever at risk.
02
Clear consent flows
Plain-language disclosures and granular controls users understand.
03
Patient-facing experiences
Appointment requests, treatment information and reminders that reduce no-shows and phone calls.
04
Practice dashboards
Patients, appointments, treatment plans, invoices and lab orders in one place.
05
Tracking and insights
Calm, motivating logging with charts that help people understand their own data.
06
Store-ready compliance
Privacy labels, data-safety forms and health disclaimers prepared for review.
Proof
Our work in this space.
CyclePrivate and BodyLog are Navelo Software's own privacy-first health apps, live on the App Store and Google Play. SmileDesk is a demonstration build with a fictional practice.
Compliance & data
Rules we design around.
- HIPAA (United States)
- Safeguards, access controls and vendor agreements for protected health information.
- GDPR (EU & UK)
- Health data is special-category data: explicit consent, minimisation and user rights.
- Other regional privacy laws
- We map requirements for each market you launch in, from Canada to Australia.
- App Store & Google Play health policies
- Disclosures, medical-claim limits and data-safety declarations.
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)
- Readable, operable interfaces for users of every ability.
This is a summary of how we approach these requirements, not legal advice.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can you build HIPAA- or GDPR-compliant health software?
Yes. We design data flows, access controls, consent and hosting around the regulations of the markets you serve, and work alongside your legal or compliance advisers — we don't replace them.
Do you build patient-facing apps or clinic software?
Both. We build patient apps and websites (appointment requests, tracking, reminders) and staff tools (records, scheduling, treatment plans, billing).
How do you protect sensitive health data?
By collecting less of it, keeping it on the device where possible, encrypting what's stored or sent, limiting access by role and logging who viewed what.
How much does a healthcare app cost?
It depends on scope, integrations and regulatory requirements. We send a fixed quote after a short discovery conversation — get a quote.
