One of the most significant challenges in building mobile healthcare apps is that it requires a lot of time to develop the same application for platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows. But with Flutter, a cross-platform software development tool, you can launch apps for different operating systems and screen sizes faster. So what are the critical features that make Flutter unique and allow companies to build apps faster and cost-efficiently?

Same Business Logic and UI on All Platforms

Flutter is the only software development framework enabling you to share UI code and UI between various platforms.

Below, you can see how most cross-platform kits deal with UI rendering:

On the other hand, Flutter doesn’t depend on platform-specific components for rendering the UI. Everything it requires is a canvas to draw onto:

Thus, Flutter offers the simplicity of rendering, ensuring UI consistency, regardless of the platform you select. Also, you’ll find it seamless to share the UI and business logic. That allows for cutting the time and development costs.

Reduced Time-to-Market

When using Flutter, you can expect to develop your healthcare mobile app two times faster compared to building two applications for Android and iOS separately. That’s because you don’t have to write platform-specific code, adjust the UI, deal with widgets, and configure the business logic to match various platforms.

Native-Like App Performance

The performance of your mobile healthcare app is crucial for high-quality care provided to the patients. So, Flutter ensures a performance that is nearly indistinguishable from native apps. Since Flutter applications are built into the machine code, each complex UI element will perform smoothly. That helps eliminate different performance issues during interpretation.

Simple Logic Implementation

Modern apps often depend on advanced operating system-level features, including connectivity protocols, GPS coordinates, access control, and security. Fortunately, Flutter offers many of them via specific plugins. In some cases, your engineers can establish communication through platform channels that allow for implementing a required native app logic on your Flutter app. Let’s see how it works below:

Not Just Mobile

Finally, Flutter app development goes far from mobile. For instance, you can utilize Web and Desktop Embeddings offered by Flutter to run relevant applications in browsers without needing to change the source code. Thus, you can build apps and MedTech websites simultaneously.
