How to make an app for a physiotherapy clinic

Physiotherapy runs on sessions: a patient buys ten, comes three times a week, and some days the physio goes to their home instead. An app keeps the schedule, the sessions left in each package and the notes from each session, so you know where every patient stands.

Who uses the app

Often one physio on one phone, and then the data can stay on that phone. If a second physio or a receptionist books sessions on their own phone, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in.

The screens a physiotherapy clinic app needs

Today: Clinic sessions and home visits by time, with a Google Maps button for each home visit
Patients: Search by name or phone; the problem, the referring doctor and the package bought
Session note: For each session: what was done, the pain score the patient gave, and the physio's notes
Packages: Sessions bought, used and left for each patient, and the amount paid
Exercise sheets: The exercises the physio has chosen for a patient, with sets and repetitions, made into a PDF
Settings: Clinic name, timings, fees, home visit areas and a backup

Features worth asking for

Sessions left shown on every appointment, for example 'session 6 of 10'
A WhatsApp reminder button with the session time, or the time the physio will reach home
A list of patients whose package is about to finish, shown when the app is opened
Pain scores from each session listed by date for a patient
An exercise sheet as a PDF to send on WhatsApp or print, written by the physio
Home visit charges added to the bill only for home sessions

Where the data lives

If only you use the app, the data stays on your phone and works without internet during home visits. If a receptionist or a second physio needs the same schedule, connect your own Supabase database; add your Razorpay account if patients pay for packages online.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Today, Patients, Session note, Packages, Exercise sheets.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your physiotherapy clinic, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my physiotherapy clinic, Joshi Physio Care in Nashik. I am the only physio for now. Screens: today, patients, session note, packages, exercise sheets and settings. Today shows clinic sessions and home visits by time, with a Google Maps button for home visits. A patient buys a package of 10 sessions for ₹4,500 or pays ₹500 per session; show sessions left on each appointment. Each session saves what was done, a pain score from 0 to 10 and my notes. Add a WhatsApp reminder button, an exercise sheet as a PDF, and a list of packages about to end. Green and white colours.

Tips for a physiotherapy clinic app

Start with today's schedule and packages. Add session notes once you are used to opening the app between patients.
Write your usual exercises once in the chat with sets and repetitions, so building a patient's sheet is a few taps.
Keep session notes short and factual. Patient details are private; use sign-in if more than one phone is used, and follow the law on patient data.
Ask for the reminder message in Hindi or English if your patients prefer it.
Try a week of your real schedule with test names before you move your register in.

What it costs

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to therapy machines, and it doesn't send reminders to patients by itself; you tap the WhatsApp button, and the installed app can also show you a reminder on your own phone at a set time. Exercise videos are not made by the app; you choose and describe the exercises.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app count sessions left in a package?

Yes. Each session you mark done reduces the count, and the appointment shows something like 'session 6 of 10'.

Does the app work at a patient's home without internet?

If the data stays on your phone, yes. With an online database, changes reach other phones once you are back online.

Can I give patients an exercise sheet from the app?

Yes. Pick the exercises you prescribed with sets and repetitions, and the app makes a PDF to send on WhatsApp or print.

Can I see how a patient's pain score changed over the weeks?

Yes. Ask for a pain score with each session note and a list by date on the patient's screen.

Can I attach a patient's X-ray or the surgeon's note?

Yes, as a photo attached to the patient's record. Keep it private with sign-in if more than one person uses the app.

Can patients book their own sessions?

It needs an online database so free times are shared. Many small clinics keep booking on WhatsApp and only use the app for the schedule.
