Wearable app prototyping
Whether you’re launching a pilot RPM program or need a tech feasibility check, you can rely on our development team to prototype your idea in just 4 weeks. We deliver a working prototype with core features and user interactions — enough to gather early feedback from patients and clinicians and refine your development roadmap.
Custom wearable device app development
For unique medical or clinical needs, our wearable app developers design and build fully custom web and mobile solutions for wearable-based data capture. Along with security-first design, our team plans for scalability from the very start to add AI/ML insights, predictive analytics, or new devices later.
Integration with wearable sensors
We connect your apps with target sources of sensor data, from Apple Watch and Fitbit to Dexcom CGM and custom medical devices. We have broad experience in BLE, sensor, and health data integration via MQTT and other protocols, ensuring your app can reliably collect, transmit, and interpret wearable data in real time.
Integration with existing healthcare systems
Using interoperability frameworks such as FHIR and HL7, our team connects your wearable app platforms to clinical workflows. We enable wearables and sensors to pour daily insights into EHRs, clinician dashboards, and other healthcare systems — with end-to-end encryption and full HIPAA/GDPR compliance.
Wearable app testing
Our ISTQB-certified QA team validates the inner workings of your wearable app systems, including multi-device compatibility, security and compliance, connectivity stability, battery efficiency and performance, data accuracy, and other critical quality factors. We simulate real-world conditions to uncover hidden issues and ensure reliable performance in everyday use.
Wearable app development consulting
Our lead developers and software architects help medical device manufacturers and health software companies build reliable, compliant wearable app solutions. We design future-proof, AI-ready architectures, define compliance requirements, and map data flows. For medical-grade devices, we structure core app functions to meet CPT billing standards.
Our clients say it better
Our wearable health technology covers a variety of use cases
Proactive health management
By continuously monitoring data from wearable activity trackers, smart rings, perspiration sensors, and other devices, our wearable apps let individuals track health metrics in real time, giving them greater control over their well-being.
Chronic disease management
We integrate mobile and web apps with personal health devices — such as glucose monitors, ECG monitors, blood pressure monitors, and other wearables — to help users manage chronic conditions and keep care teams informed.
Remote patient monitoring
Our wearable technology enables proactive monitoring of higher-risk patients across RPM, RTM, PCM, and TCM programs by continuously collecting digital health data from patient monitoring devices. Doctors can then analyze this data to track treatment effectiveness and optimize care as needed.
Connected rehabilitation
Enhanced with AI and data analytics, our wearable app solutions help care teams monitor patients between therapy sessions across a wide range of rehabilitation programs, including post-surgery physical therapy, stroke rehab, orthopedic recovery, and more.
Wearable app development process at Orangesoft
Our team delivers on the promises, respecting the budget and going the extra mile to help you achieve your business goals.
Discovery
Our collaboration begins by defining the high-level scope of your app idea: we identify the required devices, compatibility requirements, and connectivity options. At this stage, our team also defines the compliance requirements for your app, identifies technical constraints, and assesses potential integration challenges.
Requirements and planning
Once we understand your project scope and key features, our team designs a secure, scalable software architecture, selects a tech stack for back-end development and connectivity, and maps data flows. Based on the discovery stage, our project managers create a detailed plan with time and cost estimates.
Design and development
Our developers build web- or mobile-based applications based on the design layouts, set up data storage and cloud environments, and connect the app to the target sensors and devices. In parallel with development, our QA team validates functionality, connectivity, and performance across all supported devices.
Deployment and post-launch support
On demand, our team assists you with preparing documentation for regulatory submission. We then upload your application to the App Store and Google Play, whether as a full release or a soft launch. If the app is for internal use, our developers plug your solutions directly into the wearable ecosystem. Post-launch, we provide ongoing support, including security patches, OS updates, and more.
Evolution
Following user and clinician feedback, our team enhances your wearable app solution with new features and modules. For AI-powered solutions, we also manage regular model updates and retraining. If necessary, our developers adjust your solution's architecture or add support for new devices.
Your development challenges, solved
As your full-cycle tech partner, we take the complexity out of developing wearable apps and handle all the tricky parts, so your wearable solutions work well, stay compliant, and integrate seamlessly with other systems.

Battery life optimization
Our development team builds lightweight wearable apps optimized for efficient battery usage. We employ efficient coding practices, leverage device-specific power-saving features, and minimize background processes. Analytics tools track battery performance across releases to quickly identify and address regressions.
Connectivity
Maintaining always-on connectivity is one of the biggest challenges in wearable tech. Our developers address this by implementing standardized communication protocols and reliable APIs. We also optimize bandwidth with batching mechanisms and adjust update intervals based on data freshness requirements.
Device fragmentation
Health and fitness wearable devices come in all forms, operating systems, and data formats — each with its own APIs. Our team translates fragmented device data into a unified experience by building flexible integration layers, tapping into cross-platform coding practices, and doubling down on data standardization.
Data security and privacy
Our development team takes a multi-layered approach to wearable app security. We implement end-to-end encryption, secure authentication, role-based access controls, and data minimization to protect patient information. Our solutions also ensure secure data storage and compliance with healthcare regulations, including HIPAA, GDPR, and more.
