Abstract

The growing trend of using digital platforms in healthcare management creates the need to come up with safe and effective applications that are capable of securing data privacy and accessibility. The study is an investigation into how to design and evaluate secure healthcare apps on the Microsoft power platform, which is a low-code application development platform enabling the quick creation of apps. The report covers the major issues regarding the development of healthcare apps, such as the security of data, user access, and system integration. It suggests a framework of assessing security features of applications including the best practices which include encryption, role-based access control and secure storage of data. An analysis of the efficacy of the security features provided by the platform is also presented by the study using a sequence of use case scenarios and the platform showed ability to support secure application development as well as meet regulatory requirements like HIPAA. The findings indicate how the Power Platform allows developing healthcare applications more efficiently and with a focus on security, providing a balance between the speed of development and regulatory compliance. The given paper can be valuable to healthcare organizations that want to use low-code platforms to create safe, scalable, and user-friendly applications
