2. TIPS FOR CREATING
EFFECTIVE & HIPPA
COMPLIANT MOBILE
APPLICATION
Created by:-

3. HISTORY…
• Almost 20 years ago(21st August 1996), HIPPA law was enacted by Bill Clinton.
Long back then, when technology was just taking baby steps, who imagined
something like mobile apps for medical reasons.
• But today as per Electronic Heath Report, almost 62% of doctors use tablets and
72% of nurses employ smartphones for their daily practice.
• The data can be objectified and said, mobile apps and healthcare are like matches
made in heaven. Today there are more than 40000 mobile health apps in various
mobile app stores with new ones being added every day by the mobile app
development companies.

4. • Millennial’s think that living has become a lot easier with a glut of
healthcare mobile apps but they overlook the setbacks of such mobile
applications.
• The major challenge such apps face is maintaining and protecting the
privacy of the records shared by the patients. Such data are always
susceptible to the risk of being misused or lost or hacked. It’s not an
easy cakewalk.
• Even an unsecured Wi-Fi connection increase the chances of sharing or
transmission of confidential data. Here is when HIPAA compliance
comes into the picture.

5. WHY HIPPA??
• It is imperative to understand HIPAA compliance while
architecting healthcare mobile apps and software. It is
necessary to safeguard the application to secure privacy
and authenticity. HIPAA is an abbreviation term for
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
• The main intention behind making a healthcare
application is to help the users in the medical situation
and preserve His/Her medical records.

6. RULES FOR ABIDING HIPAA COMPLIANCE:
• There are specific security rules and guidelines to secure the PHI. It breaks down the method
into 3 parts: administrative, technical and physical.
• A person is responsible to ensure that the information will not be leaked as these data are
transmitted through a medium. Any entity who is the part of such data transmission is liable
and has to abide by the rules.
Administrative means access control and training, physical includes safeguarding the devices
and technical means the data. The question that still remains in,
What factors play a role in Health care mobile apps security? How would you secure it for
better?
• Even if you are a crackerjack mobile application developer, protecting the data is not an easy
nut to crack. Here are a few things that should not be overlooked.

7. • Unique User Authentication: We know that
mobile apps can be password protected but
what if you do not apply strong password
policy. The password with easy-to-recognize is
at risk of being hacked. It is of paramount
importance to choose a strong and rare
password pattern to avoid the adverse effect.
• Encryption of Data: After collecting the data,
the next big task is to secure it for the future.
The feature to encrypt should already be
incorporated to secure the data soon after
transmission over different networks. The two-
level encryption process is storing it on device
temporarily and second is to store them in a
server.
• Automatic Logoff: We, the users have the
tendency to forget logging out of the mobile
applications after usage. And in case of a loss
or theft of mobile phones, it enhances the risk
of personal information to be misused by
someone else. It is necessary that the apps
should automatically log out after signing in.
• Remote Wipe: Third-party app controls are
not 24*7 accessible for remote control and
management of mobile devices. So an
alternate option is to build a remote wipe
feature in the app itself that offers admin
controls and allows to erase the PHI is
required.

not 24*7 accessible for remote control and
management of mobile devices. So an
alternate option is to build a remote wipe
feature in the app itself that offers admin

• Audit Logging: Logs allow us to keep an
eye on all the data. It allows monitoring any
tempering of data, different activities
performed, login time of the users and
Thus audit logging helps to control the PHI.
• Backup and Syncing: We can say back up of
data is the backbone of healthcare mobile
applications. The data once collected should
be transmitted to a server and safeguarded. It
is not always possible for the user to have a
secured WiFi connection and therefore it is
necessary to have the provision of auto
backups and syncing.
• To Comply(Read: Wrap Up): Creation of a
secured private mobile health care apps should
be the aim of every Android and iOS
development companies. Update the app
regularly to secure the PHI. Any non-
compliance can cause you a huge amount of
