How to make an app for a skin clinic

Skin procedures come in courses: six laser sessions a month apart, peels every two weeks. An app shows which session each patient is on, when the next one falls due as the doctor decided, and what has been paid on the package.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The dermatologist, the receptionist and the therapist who does procedures. With more than one phone, connect your own Supabase database and ask for sign-in; skin photos and notes are sensitive and should stay with clinic staff.

The screens a skin clinic app needs

Today: Consultations and procedure sessions by time, with the session number, such as laser 3 of 6
Patients: Search by name or phone; skin type and allergies noted by the doctor, and past visits
Procedure course: The procedure, number of sessions, gap between sessions as set by the doctor, sessions done and amount paid
Session record: What was done, settings the therapist noted, and photos attached to the record with consent ticked
Due next: Patients whose next session falls due this week
Payments: Consultation and package payments by day and month, and balances due

Features worth asking for

Next session date filled in from the gap the doctor set for that course
A 'consent taken' tick on each course, needed before photos are attached
Photos attached to a session record, visible only to signed-in staff
A WhatsApp reminder button with the next session date and any care note the doctor wrote
A package estimate or receipt as a PDF
Separate lists for the doctor's consultations and the therapist's sessions

Where the data lives

Skin photos are sensitive, so with more than one user connect your own Supabase database with sign-in and keep the data in your account. If patients pay for packages online, connect your Razorpay account; the money goes to the clinic.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Today, Patients, Procedure course, Session record, Due next.
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 skin clinic, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my skin clinic, Dr. Farah's Skin Clinic in Hyderabad. The receptionist, the therapist and I use it with sign-in. Screens: today, patients, procedure course, session record, due next and payments. A course has the procedure, number of sessions, gap in days, price and payments. Each session records what was done, notes, and photos only if a consent box is ticked. Show 'session 3 of 6' on appointments, fill the next date from the gap, and add a WhatsApp reminder button, a due-next list and a receipt PDF. Soft peach and white colours.

Tips for a skin clinic app

Start with procedure courses and the due list. Add reports once the therapist is used to marking sessions.
Decide which screens the therapist sees and which only the doctor sees, and ask AppCub for those roles.
Attach photos only with written consent, keep them inside the app and follow the law on patient data.
Keep care notes in the reminder short and written by the doctor; the app doesn't give advice.
Test a full course with a dummy patient before moving real ones in.

What it costs

Describing your app and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.

Google Play needs a paid plan (it includes the Play Store bundle and your app’s signing key) and your own Google Play developer account, a one-time US$25 fee to Google.
Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to lasers or skin analysis machines, and it doesn't send reminders to patients by itself; the receptionist taps the WhatsApp button, and the installed app can show staff a reminder at a set time. It is not an online shop for skincare products.
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 work out the next laser session date?

Yes. The doctor sets the gap in days for the course, and the app fills in the next date after each session.

Are patient photos in the app private?

With your own Supabase database and sign-in, only clinic staff can open them. Ask for a consent tick before photos can be added.

Can the therapist see sessions but not payments?

Yes. Ask AppCub for roles so the therapist sees today's sessions and the receptionist or doctor sees payments.

Can patients pay for a six-session package in advance?

Yes, with a payment button using your own Razorpay account, once Supabase and Razorpay are connected. The app then shows what is paid against the course.

Does the app remind patients on its own?

No. The due-next list shows who to remind, and a button opens WhatsApp with the message ready for your receptionist to send.

Can we sell skincare products through the app?

AppCub keeps to clinic work like courses, sessions and payments. You can record products the doctor prescribed as part of a bill.
