Mobile apps infuse nearly every facet of users’ lives. For each task and function you can think of there’s an app for it. And yet, mobile app innovation shows no sign of slowing down. Exciting apps continue to emerge, changing the way people do their business and live their lives. Tap into this vast current of intellectual and commercial energy with a groundbreaking app, and the rewards are almost unlimited.
Healthcare is one of the most exciting industries in the mobile app development space right now. Healthcare apps are changing the way everyday people interact with medical professionals. They’re also changing how they interact with individual health too.
Mobile apps are a perfect delivery vehicle for telemedicine—remote performance of medical services that used to rely on a clinical or pharmacy visit. Patients are beginning to interact with medical providers through video conferences, chat, and other digital avenues. Healthcare organizations can greatly expand their patient reach, efficiency, and loyalty by embracing telemedicine in their San Diego mobile app development.
Another exciting front line of healthcare mobile app development is software as a medical device (SaMD)—apps that perform the role of medical devices, regardless of the device you download them on (iPhone, Android tablet, etc.).
SaMD apps use common features of mobile devices to perform medical functions—cameras for imaging, microphones to detect breathing anomalies, and haptics to detect heart rates. Some apps even use the gyroscopic accelerometer to detect motor disorders. Best of all, the wireless connectivity of mobile devices enables these devices to upload data directly to the Cloud, a perfect record of medical data for medical professionals to analyze and detect problems early from afar.
Fintech companies need experienced mobile app development partners. Fintech apps have disrupted industries and daily life alike, and have the power to do it again. But fintech is also delicate—it involves peoples’ money and sensitive data. It has to be done right, or the cost in trust, fines, and settlements could bankrupt even a robust company. Put it this way—why waste the next billion-dollar fintech idea on a bad mobile app?
Security comes first—our San Diego mobile app development process for fintech companies starts with end-to-end encryption, with extra effort paid to authentication and authorization at both ends. We then subject our fintech apps to exhaustive testing of the code, as well as penetration tests by ethical hackers to try and find weaknesses.
Fintech companies must also comply with exacting regulations regarding the handling of user data and user funds. Compliance specialists on your San Diego mobile app development team can help make sure every threshold of compliance is met.
Deploying a fintech app is often a marketing challenge as well—raising awareness about the solution, as well as building the brand trust it takes for users to commit their money and personal data to a first-of-its-kind solution.
San Diego’s institutions of higher learning are prestigious for many reasons. From training the next generation of computer scientists that developed world-changing apps to providing academic thought leadership on the past, present, and future of mobile apps.
But that’s different from actually developing a mobile app for their students to use. Colleges and universities that have gone all-in on mobile app development have found a game-changer in providing a wide range of valuable student services.
Students use world-class mobile apps to book facilities, book attendance at lectures and performances, navigate campuses, search libraries, chat with student service professionals, and even shop for future courses. Some enterprising universities have even developed a “digital student ID” app that enables campus access with the tap of a smartphone and no physical ID card to lose.
Schools can even use mobile apps as a classroom aid, offering pre-recorded lectures, supplemental course material (especially video and audio), even real-time lectures by livestream or discussion groups by teleconference. San Diego mobile app development is a chance for San Diego schools to rethink their student experience and recreate it in mobile form.
The attorney-client relationship thrives on trust. Attorneys want to leverage that trust to do their job proficiently. But clients who are often in a stressful situation have sought the advice of legal counsel, want to know everything. What to do?
San Diego mobile app development for law offices can help create synergy around this attorney-client relationship. At the same time automation makes it so that clients are always up-to-date without a need for constant data entry. A mobile app can act as the “back office” for a law firm where clients can view the progress of their case and request updates in the form of “support tickets”. No more phone calls with long holds that frustrate everyone.
A law office mobile app can also be a hub to streamline other processes, including billing and hour tracking. It can even be a marketplace for the services themselves. Even small San Diego law offices can carve out a niche by offering a standard menu of services on a mobile “eCommerce” platform. Such a marketplace has the potential to expand the reach of a small law firm exponentially.
Many real estate brokerage brands offer their brokers a rudimentary mobile app that their agents can recommend to their clients. This is a textbook example of “not enough.” It’s typically more than an MLS (Multiple Listing Service) portal—great for notifying the broker when the client performs searches, but far inferior to brand-name apps that do the same job with better UX.
The San Diego real estate market is one of the most competitive in the world—for brokers, investors, and home buyers alike. To stand out, you need something a cut above. Even mom-and-pop real estate shops need an enterprise level app to stand out.
Top mobile apps use emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR) and machine learning (ML) to make sense of the San Diego real estate market—a vast and complex data set if there ever was one—and put it at the fingertips of users through imagery, value-packed content, virtual versions of “in-person” experiences, and other actionable features.
Our San Diego mobile app development services for real estate professionals put the user first. Serve the user, and the deals come naturally. Yes, it is possible to go toe to toe with the big names in proptech and win the mobile app race. In fact, the local San Diego touch, combined with a first-rate real estate mobile app, is a competitive advantage. We help drive that advantage home.
Professional services cover a wide range of categories, from financial planners to architects to accountants. There isn’t always a set roadmap for mobile apps in these diverse fields. Where to start?
Often the best place to start is to look at the service as you currently provide it, break it down to its components, and brainstorm how to reproduce that service experience in digital form. How would a customer or client interact with your brand and get the same positive outcomes if they were interacting with an app instead of your direct service team?
San Diego professional service providers often find that a great number of their current processes can be reproduced and even improved through San Diego mobile app development, including but not limited to appointment booking, chat support, invoicing and billing, collaboration, vendor interaction, contracts and documentation, and much more.
Truly ambitious San Diego professional service providers may set their sights higher. A professional services app doesn’t have to be a “bonus extra” for local clients. It can be the main event, bringing your San Diego brand to a national or even international audience. For local brands that want to scale quickly, San Diego mobile app development is the way to do it.

We understand how daunting San Diego mobile app development can be. You may be thinking “I have never written a line of code … I don’t know how to perform a user acceptance test … I don’t know what it takes to get into the App Store … I don’t have the first clue about how to develop an app!”

Organizations don’t hire us for the bragging rights of having an app. What good is the app if no one uses it?
