Healthcare Software Development Company

Healthcare software development

The healthcare sector is facing a number of challenges, including rising demand, a growing number of individuals with complex care needs, and a wider socio-political landscape in which funding and resources are increasingly scarce.

6B develops healthcare software that tackles these challenges and delivers benefits to patients and providers. From software to manage personal health and wellbeing for private healthcare organisations, to software as a medical device and critical healthcare infrastructure for public health organisations.

Patient engagement portals – We design and develop patient-centric patient engagement portals. Working with NHS Trusts, NHS ICBs, and digital health innovators we have developed bespoke patient engagement portals integrated with electronic health and patient records.

Personalised care healthcare software development – We deliver personalised care software that facilitate communication between patients and providers. For instance, we create personalised care software that enable health professionals to track treatment and medication adherence.

Health and wellbeing healthcare software development – We create health and wellbeing software, including mobile apps, that enable users to track a range of health-related parameters, such as sleep, exercise and food intake, to enable users to monitor and improve their health and wellbeing.

Vital signs monitoring and electronic observations – We deliver vital sign monitoring technology that connects clinicians to their patients. 6B delivers healthcare software that enables care providers to conduct electronic observations and record the vital signs of a patient, and for patients to monitor their vital signs on an ongoing basis.

Remote care and monitoring healthcare software development – 6B is capable of delivering healthcare software that facilitates effective remote care and monitoring – for example, assisting users in managing their symptoms, and logging vital metrics (such as drug intake).

Social prescribing healthcare software development – We design and develop social prescribing software, which enable health professionals to refer people to services to support their ongoing health and wellbeing, such as local community groups and voluntary organisations.

6B’s Patient-Centred Approach

Our approach to healthcare software development is fundamentally patient-centred, ensuring that the solutions we create are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient while enhancing the overall healthcare experience. Our healthcare software development process begins with thorough research and user consultation, involving patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to understand their challenges and requirements fully. Our collaborative approach allows us to design intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that facilitate better patient engagement and compliance. By prioritising accessibility and usability, we develop software that is easy for patients of all ages and technical abilities to navigate.

Ultimately, our patient-centred approach is about creating software that delivers real value to patients and healthcare providers alike. By focusing on the needs and experiences of patients, we help organisations improve service delivery, reduce administrative burdens, and foster a more engaged and healthier patient population.

Advanced Interoperability Solutions

Increasingly NHS buyers are prioritising interoperability when purchasing new digital health solutions. 6B specialises in creating advanced interoperability solutions that bridge the gaps between various common healthcare IT systems and your healthcare software.

We leverage industry-standard protocols such as HL7, FHIR, and DICOM to ensure that your healthcare software communicates effectively with electronic health records (EHR) and electronic patient records (EPR) systems like EMIS, SystmOne, Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), System C, Access Rio, and more.

Our interoperability solutions for healthcare software development facilitate real-time data exchange, as well as bulk data exchanges, enabling healthcare providers to access comprehensive patient information across different platforms without the risk of data silos. This not only enhances clinical decision-making but also improves patient outcomes by providing a holistic view of the patient’s health history.
