Can we build web and mobile apps for healthcare industries?
I want to build internal software for healthcare industries like Hospital Management Systems, Patient Management Systems, and more. I haven’t seen any case studies of nocode technologies used in healthcare. I’m curious to know if it is possible to build custom software using Bubble for healthcare.
Bubble.io does not comply with HIPPA so any app that stores patient information might have liabilty issues.
can’t we use any other services integrated into bubble apps and then develop for healthcare?
At most, you could maybe use the front end of Bubble.
You would also need to make sure the data transmitted to whatever HIPPA compliant backend you would use is encrypted - have BAAs - and on and on.
I would definitely talk to compliance experts first.
Then, we can use Bubble for the front end and XANO for the back end. As XANO recently audited and is HIPPA compliance. What do you suggest?
Just adding that Airtable is HIPAA compliant now, too.

Maybe someone in the forum with experience dealing with HIPPA regulations can answer your question.
I wouldn’t want to give you advice and have you waste a lot of time. I do know if you use Bubble for the frontend you still need to be HIPPA compliant. How, and what you need to do I’m not experienced enough with HIPPA to say.
If I remember right, HIPPA compliance is an add-on with XANO. I know Firebase is also HIPPA compliant.
The only front end no code builder I know about that is HIPPA compliant is DrapCode and I think that is on their enterprise plan.
I remember this thread, read starting from this post How To Build Any App For $10K + Productising No-Code Development (Business of Bubble) - #35 by georgecollier
Seems impossible right now if you require HIPPA compliance. If its just an app for managing/scheduling then I suppose its no different than a customer/employee management app.
AFAIK, It is not enough to have bubble.io on the client side only. But I would take the advice given here and consult with a HIPPA complience expert.
Great question! 
Bubble can definitely serve as a solid foundation for developing web and mobile applications in the healthcare sector, especially for internal management systems like Hospital Management Systems or Patient Management Systems.
I’ve recently explored this topic in depth and came across some fascinating ideas on integrating fintech solutions into healthcare services. For example, incorporating automated payments, medical loans, or even digital wallets for patients could streamline financial processes and significantly enhance the user experience. I came across an insightful article on this topic https://dashdevs.com/blog/the-revolution-of-fintech-in-healthcare-industry/, which provides a comprehensive overview.
The key consideration is ensuring compliance with data security regulations (such as HIPAA, GDPR, etc.) and checking what external integrations are available in Bubble for these specific needs.
Has anyone here already built healthcare-related products using Bubble? I’d love to hear about real-world experiences! 
It’s a pretty grey area I think, there’s never been a statement from bubble on this unless I’m missing anything. From my understanding it would not be possible to build apps that display health information for US nationals, as even with a separate backend like Xano or Airtable you would still need to call it and display it on Bubble.
If I’m right it’s not just a data issue either, some Bubble staff could technically be able to access logs of the info that is being displayed on your app and HIPAA compliance would require those staff be compliant too, which is beyond your control.
This does not apply to non-US nationals, the laws in other countries can be more relaxed.
Hey James,
So an app developed with the focus of operating in ex-soviet countries could operate without HIPAA? There are other no-code apps that are–but I am not familiar with them at all.
It depends largely on the regulations in the countries in question, if it’s just GDPR you should be able to build a GDPR compliant app.
Yes, you can definitely build healthcare software like HMS or PMS using Bubble! While Bubble is great for custom workflows, automation, and integrations, compliance (like HIPAA) is key if handling patient data. You can use Bubble’s API connector for EHR integrations and third-party security solutions for compliance. Have you thought about specific features you’d need? Happy to discuss how Bubble can be leveraged for healthcare tech!
