Appsparq, Inc Launched, Specializing In Mobile Healthcare App Development

Online, November 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - appsparq, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of their mobile app development services operations, headquartered in the U.S., with branches in Singapore and India.

Smart phone penetration in the U.S reached the 40% mark in May 2011, feature phones accounting for the other 60%. Android accounted for 40% of these smart phones, with Apple iOS at 28%, RIM Blackberry at 19% and other operating systems accounting for the rest (Nielsens). There are currently 5.3 billion mobile subscribers around the globe. Smart phone penetration in countries like India and China are smaller now in the single digits but growing rapidly with plenty of growth left. Tablet computers jumped from 17 million shipments in 2010 to 55 million in 2011. Apple currently has 500,000 iPhone apps in their app store with Android Market listing 200,000 apps.

38 percent of physicians with smart phones use medical apps on a daily basis, with that number increasing to 50 percent in the next twelve months. 25 percent of healthcare providers use tablets at their practice, while another 21 percent expected to do so in the next twelve months.

Nari Kannan, CEO of appsparq, Inc., said "There is a lot of excitement around mHealth. As many already know mHealth stands for Mobile Health, the practice of medical and public health. And as smart phones and mobile devices gain popularity we will see them more and more in the clinical setting. However, mobile apps are different from other software applications in that users expect simple, very easy to use apps that do a few things but do them well. You have only one chance to get it right. Users will delete apps mercilessly if it is too difficult to use or cannot figure out easily how to use them".

appsparq provides cost effective mobile app development services with a special emphasis on healthcare apps. appsparq is led by a management team with more than two decades of successful software development efforts in the U.S and in India, for many software product and service companies. They are experienced in isolating the software development efforts into those that can be done effectively only in the U.S and those that can be done in India. They understand that project management and communication with the client are the critical pieces of development efforts, especially in mobile app development. You need responsible local US-based project managers to make these efforts successful.
