Do you own a business and are looking to help keep everyone motivated and on track? Sales dashboard apps are a great way to keep you and your team on track as they make the data more visual. In addition to this, they help organizations to make rational, data-driven, and profitable decisions.
The dashboard apps consider several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as sales growth, income sources, revenue concentration, profitability over time, working capital, etc. Key Performance Indicators vary with each business, but their goal remains the same- to show the progress made in several areas while highlighting shortcomings.
The number of smartphone users is expected to total 3.5 billion as the smartphone penetration rate is 45.4 percent, which means that having a dashboard that is compatible with both iOS and Android will help keep you on track. In addition to this, having live data that updates with an interval and is visually represented is undoubtedly going to make things a lot easier.
The 3 Key Aspects of The Best Sales Dashboards and Sales Mobile Apps
As per the paper labeled “Risk of Loss of Productivity in Workplaces” by Wafi Assiri, a business has several factors that may affect its productivity and being unable to access data promptly is one of them. Sales dashboards help you to keep the information readily available so that it can be accessed whenever needed. If we talk about the three keys to a good sales dashboard and/or mobile app, they are as follows:
Offline Abilities – Not always are we going to have internet access, which should not hamper productivity at any cost. You should be able to work wherever you are, and internet unavailability should not halt your progress. Therefore a sales app or sales dashboard should work offline as well.
Monthly Forecasts – In every business, meeting the sales target is an essential agenda as it helps them remain on track and complete the quarterly goals. A monthly forecast enables you to make calculations and make short-term goals that add up to the yearly goals, thus breaking it down into doable chunks for the organization. Furthermore, what it does is that it helps you plan and realize the opportunities that may arise. Lastly, you can analyze your past and future goals and formulate a sales strategy.
UI/UX Powerhouse – The technology used to build the dashboard is different from the kind of software used in the company, and that can make the dashboard a bit difficult to understand initially. UI and UX are essential for the success of any app. Dashboards and apps with a good interface and user experience are always preferred by the users, making it a necessary feature of a sales app/dashboard.
How Does a Sales and Marketing Dashboard App Help?
A recent study by Hubspot found that a lack of productivity costs employers $1.8 billion annually. The keys above that we talked about can be addressed with incomprehensible metrics that play a role in understanding several factors. It contains various KPIs that reflect areas that need improvements, and the benefits that it gives to an organization are as follows:
Real-Time Data Access: An organization must realize which areas they need to optimize to maximize results and play a massive role in any business.
Comprehend Data: Data is more clearly understood when presented in a visual form, and in a fast-paced environment, it can help the company out a lot.
Identify Trends: Using the available data on hand, you can predict a lot about what trends will be famous among the customers and course-correct accordingly.
Informed Decision Making: When faced with making a decision, the data that we have on hand helps us make a rational choice, and these apps can help you do precisely that.
Align Strategies to Goal: When it comes to meeting our goals, we can formulate strategies to reach the goals.
Save Time: Instead of going through piles of data, we can simply have that exact data presented in clean and instantly understandable data that can save us a lot of time.
In the end, we hope that the points we raised help you to maximize your productivity and streamline everything. Sales apps and dashboards are a great way to move forward for a business because it does a lot more than you expect of them. From insights to staying motivated for the deadline, dashboards and apps are going to do much more than you have read here.

Augmented reality app development is experiencing a greater demand, considering that current equipment is capable of reproducing images, colors and sound to a degree where it is possible for people to interact with everyday objects.
Augmented reality technology was first created by Ivan Sutherland, a computer scientist at Harvard, in 1968. He developed the head-mounted display that is now used to manipulate our environment. Due to limited knowledge and a lack of resources at that time, he could achieve this only to a certain degree. Since then, augmented reality has quickly transformed into a viable solution in the marketplace, with other scientists making their own discoveries which have eventually led to what we have today as AR technology.
How Augmented Reality Works
Much like a hologram, augmented reality (AR) overlays graphics on top of the real world, so that the real world seems to change to resemble a video game. Users can have the ultimate experience with augmented reality apps by simply pointing their smartphone at a real-world environment and selecting the relevant features through the device’s touch-screen. Headsets are also being widely used along with smartphone apps. The user’s video-game mindset also takes over, causing their hands to shift in the direction they are looking and manipulate objects.
Augmented Reality Trends
The future of AR has been something of a sci-fi fantasy for some time now, with a first mover like Google Glass yet to become mainstream. However, with a surge in interest in consumer virtual reality in recent years, as well as companies like Apple and Microsoft investing in related technologies, the days of glasses may well be numbered.
Tools For iOS and Android
ARKit for Apple is one of the leading augmented reality SDKs (Software Development Kits) for iOS. Thanks to ARKit, you can build augmented reality experiences for iPhone and iPad, including games, education, travel, and more. ARKit also offers a path to bringing augmented reality to millions of existing iOS devices by enabling developers to bring augmented reality to any device with Apple’s A9 chip or later. Apple’s commitment to the iOS developer community goes beyond just ARKit. Its platform and ecosystem are highly optimized for developers to build the future of apps and games for iOS and macOS. ARKit can only be used for iOS development.
However, there are many other SDKs for Android development as well, one of the leading ones being Vuforia. Vuforia is a simulator with a native API that lets you create amazing 3D visuals by using an iPad or Android phone as a sighted device. This is great for developing both AR and VR applications.
Before you start using any of these SDKs, you need to add the correct permissions, know the API, add appropriate labels for buttons and media, etc.
You also want to make sure that the SDK being used to develop your AR app allows for the following:
3D recognition and tracking
Smart glasses integration
Image recognition and tracking
Location-based services
Cost of Building an AR App
The cost of developing an AR app ranges between $25K and $200K depending on the complexity of the technology used. So it is likely that a tech company will have multiple solutions with different price ranges and development times, but with the same ultimate goal to improve the customer experience.
Aside from the usual development cost (software development costs), security and battery life also have to be considered when discussing the topic of AR app costs.
The Future of AR Technology
Augmented reality has yet to be defined in terms of a mass appeal for consumers. But for developers and researchers, it presents a huge opportunity to reach and test out applications that are in-demand in the market. For the longest time, consumers related AR technology to games such as Pokemon Go. Now, when we think of this technology, we can easily recall coming across it in our everyday lives whether it is online shopping or television broadcasting. Digi-Capital projects 3.5 billion mobile augmented reality users by 2022, and this will not be limited to games only. AR technology will soon take over various aspects of our lives along with other emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

HCP engagement during these unpredictable times can be a challenge. Establishing a workplace culture in which various engagement strategies are applied, taking into account safety and security practices, should be identified as an organizational priority that is essential in building strong relationships within the team.
However, many challenges are being presented in the healthcare industry right now, especially ever since COVID-19 surfaced. Privacy and cybersecurity concerns are on the rise, patients and doctors are trying to adjust to remote healthcare services, and hospitals and clinics are struggling to keep all of their employees connected to stay on track. Luckily, there are many solutions that can be applied to your organization to solve this issue. Here are three ways that HCPs can stay engaged during this time.
A typical example is the use of a Smart Card (PAHSSA Smart Card) as a privileged token to provide the various health IT applications and functions through a single user interface (UI) for verification. This can enable a provider to authenticate their credentials against a cloud-based Unified Access Service Provider Network, gain access to various information, and connect securely with their computer, mobile phone or tablet, which can significantly improve your organization’s communication processes.
Store-and-forward
Store-and-forward is a telehealth method that’s used to monitor patients, keep track of medication needs, perform blood tests, monitor weight, and so on. This mechanism involves the sharing of information among healthcare providers. For example, a healthcare provider can see the progress of a patient while another can provide telehealth support.
While this process has been used for years, telehealth providers have until now used expensive and limited channels to make remote monitoring, communication, and home-based health tracking possible.
Online training
Your healthcare organization can also provide new employees access to an online self-training program, customized for your organization. Employees can get to know the program, learn the skills that will be directly applied to their role, through engaging self-paced content. By providing self-training courses to new hires, you’re giving them a head start and providing them with the skills they’ll need to succeed.
These are just a few ways for doctors and other healthcare professionals to stay connected during this tough pandemic period. Now all you need to do is contact us, and we can walk you through the entire software implementation process, including ways to secure your organization from outside threats. Transform your healthcare organization in just weeks by implementing the right HCP engagement solutions, and be prepared for the rapid digital transformation in the healthcare industry!

It takes a second to delete an app that does not work smoothly. With a plethora of options in the online marketplace, your app would be replaced right away if it is not optimized for performance and an effortless user experience.
With millions of apps in the app store, the successful ones have one thing in common; a great look and feel. All of your efforts at the backend might go into the drain if you don’t invest time, effort, and capital in the UI and UX of an app.
What are UI and UX?
First of all, it is important to note the difference between UI and UX. UI or the User Interface is the graphical layout of an app. The buttons, text, sliders, images, and any other elements that the user will interact with is UI. Cutting it short, UI is the mode of transfer of all the work that has been done at the backend.
UX or the User Experience pertains to how the app operates, and whether or not it meets the requirements of the user. UX should be steered to make things easy and comfortable for the users.
If the UI and UX aren’t given due attention, your idea, no matter how revolutionary it is, might not survive in the market.
205.4 billion apps were downloaded in 2020 and the number is expected to be 258.2 billion by the year 2022. People are shifting to mobile apps because of their efficient functionality and potential to get things done swiftly and if your app does not do that, it will not be able to save its place in the market.
Importance of UI/UX in Mobile Apps
An app with a great idea would thrive on paper. However, flawless functionality and a sophisticated design are a must-have to succeed in the digital market.
Below are a few points that discuss the significance of the UI/UX design of the app.
Captivated Users
After your app is downloaded, the first few seconds are quite crucial. If your app has a compelling design and a good interface, the users will decide to keep using your app. However, if you don’t create engagement through the design and content in the first few seconds, users will navigate to other apps in the store.
Time and Cost Savings
An app with a good UI UX design would save users time as they would not have to fidget around the app to solve their problems. This will land you some good ratings and you won’t have to work on updates thus saving money and time.
Brand Recognition
Ratings are important for an app. A user will take some seconds out of their time to give you a good rating if you deserve it. This will help you build brand recognition and people would prefer your app over others due to the higher rating. Once you are on top of the list, your app will automatically get better rankings and more downloads.
People always remember good experiences. If you have invested in UI/UX app design, your brand will stand out and would speak for itself. It’s a very simple phenomenon. People are getting what they want with a good design and no performance issues if you’ve invested in a good UI/UX design. That would pave the road for your brand recognition and you can get the customer engagement you have been waiting for.
Tips to improve UI/UX in App Design
Let’s discuss a few important tips about UI and UX that you should keep in mind while designing an app.
Uniform Design
A consistent design should be followed throughout the app. Do not be limited to the start screen. Every part of your app including, buttons, sidebars, any sliders, and menus should have a consistent design.
Interactive Design
A user-friendly design allows the user to interact with the app and build a connection. Let the design interact with the app freely. People like the freedom of being able to customize the app, for instance, the layout and color scheme.
Simple Design
Cluttering up your app will only confuse the users. Make it simple and easy to use. Your design will do no good to the user if it confuses them. Integrate a straightforward design that steers the user easily to get his/her task done.
UI/UX design of an app is a crucial aspect of designing a successful app. Understand the needs and market preferences of your target audience to make necessary amends in your app. This practice goes a long way in securing a good place in the online marketplace. Lastly, you will want to partner up with a reputable mobile app development company to take care of the UI/UX aspect of your app. Contact us today for a free consultation.
If you’re reading this, you might be thinking of launching your healthcare app. This article will take you through the features, trends, and cost of a healthcare app.
Healthcare App Trends
448 million people are using smartphones for browsing all around the world. There are 318,000 mhealthcare apps in app stores. The number of healthcare apps has doubled since 2015 and it is solely because more and more people are investing in healthcare apps as it has great potential. Over 60% of people have downloaded a health app on their phone. Fitness and wellness constitute 85% of mhealth apps and 15% of those apps are related to medical issues.
With more people staying home due to Covid-19, it has exasperated their overall health. Alcohol and substance abuse is on the rise in the past year, so people are looking to talk to a licensed psychologist. Covid-19 has caused a surge in people seeking therapy for a variety of reasons. Due to the pandemic, everyone has been challenged and tested in a variety of ways. No one has come out unscathed. Adults of all ages are dealing with anxiety or depression symptoms during the pandemic. Parents, essential workers, and communities of color have all had to deal with the pandemic while also worrying about their employment status and income. Because everyone has been affected differently by Covid-19, there’s no demographic that isn’t in need of healthcare services, whether in-person or through a mHealth app.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, these therapy sessions can easily and quickly occur through a mHealth app. With these mHealth apps, clients are less likely to miss appointments, and the scheduling process is easier on both the doctor and patient. Healthcare apps can help take the stress away from patients by not having to travel to a doctor’s office, and instead, they can conduct most of their medical needs from their living room. Not only is this more pleasant for the patient, but it is safer as well due to the ongoing pandemic.
Types of healthcare apps
App for patients
The General Doctor app
Healthcare Details App
Every type of healthcare app has some different features. Let’s dive into the features that a healthcare app offers.
The Patient App
Sign up and Sign-in features allow you to access basic information about the user such as age and gender.
The appointment feature helps the user to make an appointment with the doctor they’ve finalized.
The search feature helps users find a doctor according to their issue. For instance, a patient with stomach issues would search for a gastroenterologist.
A pill reminder feature is beneficial for those who forget to take their medicine on time. Elderly people can especially make use of this feature.
In the Telemedicine feature, a medical professional would prescribe medicine and monitor the prescriptions.
Electronic health recorder keeps a record of the health of the patient. Doctors and patients both use this feature to keep track of records.
The feedback feature helps to rate the doctors based on the user’s experience.
The Doctor App
The profile creation feature requires the doctor to add all their qualification and experiences. This is specifically helpful for the users as they would be able to access the profile information of a doctor. Experience and certificates would make it easier for the patient to trust the doctor.
The appointment feature in the doctor’s app helps to make the appointment process smooth and easy for both patient and doctor. This is where the doctor and patient can discuss and finalize a timing contingent on availability.
The patient dashboard is important for the doctor as it would convey the medical history of the patient, previous medications, and other details that the doctor should know about.
The prescription would be a different feature as it needs to be legitimate. Doctors can use this feature to prescribe medicine in a certified way.
The inventory management feature makes sure that there are enough supplies in the hospital. It is solely to be used by the hospital staff.
A patient management system would be used to keep a record of patients and their medical history.
The Cost of a Healthcare App
The cost of a healthcare app is influenced by several factors. The platforms on which the app will be available is the first factor. If you’re going to make a native app, you might have to spend several thousand bucks on that. Apps on iOS and Android are relatively cheaper and can be developed at a lower rate as opposed to native apps.
Another interesting factor that influences the cost of an app is the developer you choose. Indian freelancers are well known for quality service at a low price. You can find Indian freelancers for as low as $10/hour.
The features of the app are also a deciding factor in the cost of an app. For instance, if you want to add a payment feature in the app you might have to pay more to the developer. The language and complexity of the app also are a deciding factor in the cost of an app.
The estimated budget for a healthcare app is around $5000-$15000. The variability depends upon the factors mentioned above.
Healthcare apps are a major need during this time. Especially with the COVID-19 crisis, people are more inclined towards online consultations and healthcare services.
Part of strategizing your mHealth app will include how you will develop the app. Either your app will be Native or a Hybrid web app. You’ll be deciding if it will be an Android app, or run-on iOS, or both. The two most common mobile operating systems are iOS, Apple products, and the other is Android. The different operating systems will fluctuate your app’s price along with the functionality, speeds it runs at, and so on. Native apps have become increasingly popular in the past years, and these Native apps are the kind of apps that are made specifically for the mobile operating system. One of the reasons people prefer native apps is because they can use the phone’s built-in functions that the app is designed for. Native apps can easily access functions in the phone like GPS, contacts, camera, etc.
On the other hand, Hybrid web apps are designed for multiple platforms rather than the one operating system. One benefit of hybrid web apps that people can often overlook is their ability to use plug-ins to access various hardware and software technology. Companies and organizations may choose hybrid web apps for their ability to be created quicker and cheaper than a Native app.
So, if companies are rushing to market, they’ll most likely be producing a hybrid app, and companies that are looking to create the best app can most likely take the time to make a native app. It is important to remember that the essential feature of an app is the performance. Users will not hesitate to delete or stop using an app due to poor performance. Poor app performance has led to native apps being more popular due to them running on a specific operating system because of the performance, security, and user experience. Ultimately, with more and more native apps on the market, hybrid web apps have become a second choice, but great if there’s a need for the app as soon as possible.
When developing your healthcare app, a good plan is to take time and prototype your app before spending the money or long hours creating and developing it. Various programs help develop prototypes for those interested in introducing a new app into the marketplaces. The best part about making a prototype for your healthcare app is that it’s 10x cheaper to fix a design flaw while prototyping than during development. Various programs are available, but it is crucial to figure out which prototype program is best suited for you because they all have different attributes and features.
Overall, prototyping is something to consider before developing your healthcare app. It can save you both time and money if you catch any developmental mistakes while in the prototype stage. Ultimately, there’s a lot that goes into developing and designing an app for your product, so it’s not a bad idea to prototype your idea to make sure it’s on brand and works efficiently.
Security is of utmost importance when designing a healthcare app. Due to the sensitive information that is disclosed between patients and doctors, users will want to use an app that they can ensure will keep their data safe.
One of the most important things to remember is that your healthcare app will need to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA. Ensuring your app is up-to-date with HIPAA will show customers that your company is taking their private information seriously. Ultimately, this should help build a strong relationship between your company and customers. It will also help build a relationship if your company ensures that your app follows all the other regulations in the health care industry.
Compliance with HIPAA is good, but it’s crucial to the success of your app that your company complies with all the other laws and regulations surrounding patient’s sensitive data. This information can include any sensitive information disclosed, for example, prescription history, medical diagnosis, personal information, insurance information, and personal appointments. A healthcare app that doesn’t ensure this information is safe and secure will rapidly fall behind in the marketplace. Medical information is something that customers want to ensure is being handled safely before disclosing any of it.
Other steps your company can take to secure your healthcare app are to use encryption to send and store medical data safely, use multi-factor authentication, and be ready to fight against any threats. By doing all these things, your company will be able to confidently say they’re doing everything in their power to keep the customer’s information in the right hands. Maintaining control of your healthcare apps’ security will build confidence with customers. It will also help make sure your company is in good relations with the other stakeholders in the healthcare industry.
It is also essential to have your healthcare app integrate with other software and services. There are always more technological opportunities available, so it may not be wise to stop at just a smartphone app. With new technologies like the Peloton or the most recent Apple Watch, there are opportunities to integrate your healthcare apps with these things. One way to expand your healthcare app is to integrate with Google Fit, Healthkit, and Samsung Health. These services work as data hubs keeping users’ vitals.
If you are thinking about an investment in healthcare apps, talk to us today and we can help you with your app idea.
