Explore Our Sample Estimates
Software development cost ranges
- $60,000–$100,000: A simple patient or staff mobile app that focuses on one aspect, such as medication intake tracking or clinical documentation management, and features only basic functionality (e.g., health data tracking, push notifications, in-app messaging).
- $150,000–$250,000: An EHR-integrated patient or staff app that covers several operational aspects (e.g., from appointment management to daily care) and has moderately complex features, such as prescription refill requests, health analytics, and reporting.

- $200,000–$400,000+: A custom remote patient monitoring solution or medical device software.
- $500,000–$800,000: A chronic disease management solution with condition-specific functionality, EHR/EMR integration, and comprehensive patient data analytics, including AI-powered recommendations.
- $120,000–$2,000,000+: A custom EHR/EMR solution, depending on its complexity and scale.
Data analytics and AI service costs
- $30,000–$200,000: A separate AI-powered automation module (e.g., for forecasting hospital capacity, optimizing staff scheduling and inventory management, or detecting insurance fraud).
- $100,000–$250,000: A basic healthcare data analytics solution that integrates with 1–3 key data sources (e.g., EHR, CRM), calculates essential operational and financial KPIs, and identifies trends and dependencies in health and operational data.
- $250,000–$500,000: A moderately complex analytics solution that integrates with multiple internal data sources, enables real-time data processing, and provides both rule-based and AI-driven analytics.
- $500,000–$1,250,000: An advanced solution that integrates with an unlimited number of internal and external data sources, including patient apps and IoT devices; handles multiple same-type sources (e.g., two CRMs of different divisions); enables real-time analytics, including big data processing; offers AI-powered predictions and recommendations.
Managed IT support prices
- $14–$40 per ticket: L1-L2 IT support for healthcare organizations.
- $5,000–$15,000+ per month: Maintenance and L3 support of a mature hospital app with a low volume of change requests.
- $30,000–$50,000+ per month: Maintenance and L3 support of an actively evolving patient-facing app with a high volume of change requests.
Security and compliance cost estimates
- $10,000: One-time penetration testing of a patient-facing app.
- $10,000–$20,000: IT infrastructure security testing for a midsized healthcare organization.
- $10,000–$25,000: Compliance pre-audit (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, etc.).
- $15,000–$25,000: Security code review for healthcare software (to confirm data protection).
QA and testing costs
- $5,000: One-time performance testing of a mobile healthcare app.
- $8,000–$16,000: QA code review for healthcare software (to determine and fix the root causes of software defects).
- $20,000 per month: Continuous managed testing for a healthcare organization having 3–5 constantly evolving apps.
- $24,000–$72,000: Audit of QA processes in healthcare software development and recommendations for their improvement.

Patrick Pakan
Founder and CEO
I’ve had six orthopedic surgeries since playing college football and tried every major digital exercise therapy platform on the market. None of them offer the comprehensive and personalized care they claim. Thanks to ScienceSoft’s practical healthcare IT expertise, we created a musculoskeletal therapy platform that can be fully customized and reflect the needs of each program member.
Working with ScienceSoft was a pleasure from A to Z. We are grateful for their can-do attitude, responsiveness, and straightforward communication. RIVANNA already witnessed tangible benefits of our cooperation. We have more projects to come and are looking forward to working with ScienceSoft again.
How We Optimize Costs
Below are some of the proven practices we apply to maximize long-term value and optimize total cost of ownership.
Continuously optimizing infrastructure and cloud spending
ScienceSoft applies cloud rightsizing, workload and storage optimization, FinOps, and continuous utilization monitoring to eliminate unnecessary infrastructure spending. Our cloud architects regularly reduce cloud infrastructure costs by 20–70% without compromising performance and availability.
Using healthcare standards to reduce integration costs
ScienceSoft uses HL7, FHIR, DICOM, X12, and proven integration patterns whenever feasible. Standards-based interoperability reduces custom development, simplifies system upgrades, and lowers integration and maintenance costs.
Modernizing legacy systems incrementally
We prioritize modernization based on business value, technical risk, and ROI rather than replacing viable systems unnecessarily. This helps reduce technical debt and operating costs while avoiding the expense and risk of large-scale replacement.
Designing for compliance from the start
ScienceSoft incorporates healthcare security, privacy, audit, and data governance requirements into solution design from the outset. This helps prevent costly redesigns, compliance gaps, and deployment delays.
Optimizing healthcare workflows before automating them
Before introducing new software or integrations, we identify redundant steps, manual work, and inefficient clinical and administrative workflows. This helps reduce implementation scope and integration complexity while improving adoption.
Automating software delivery and IT operations
ScienceSoft uses CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automated testing, security and quality checks, and automated environment management to reduce manual effort and accelerate releases. Depending on the project, test and deployment automation can cut release preparation effort by 50–80%.
