Services · Mobile app development · Senior care apps
Codeeo handles senior care app development in Dubai for home healthcare providers, nursing agencies, day care centres for older adults and residential care operators. We build the family app, the caregiver app and the coordinator dashboard as one system, so a visit is scheduled, carried out, recorded and shared with relatives in the same place. For a provider licensed by the Dubai Health Authority, that means fewer phone calls, clearer records and families who trust what they are told.
Many of the relatives paying for care in Dubai live in another emirate or another country. An app that shows them each visit, each medication round and each note from the nurse turns a worried phone call into a quick glance at a screen.

What goes into the app
Care for an older person in Dubai involves more people than most apps assume. There is the client, who may have weak eyesight or limited confidence with a phone. There is a son or daughter who signed the service agreement, possibly from abroad. There are nurses and caregivers moving between villas and apartments across the city, and a coordinator trying to keep rotas filled when someone calls in sick. Each of them needs a different screen and a different level of access.
We start from your service model, whether that is skilled nursing at home, personal care, companionship visits or a day programme, and build only the parts that support it. The list below shows what providers in Dubai most often ask for. Nothing here is fixed; discovery decides what belongs in the first release.
Coordinators assign nurses and caregivers to clients by skill, language, gender preference and location, so a carer is not sent from Jumeirah to Mirdif and back in one shift. Swaps, cover requests and recurring visits are handled in the dashboard instead of a group chat.
Rotas that stay filled and routes that make sense across the city.
Carers check in on arrival, work through the care plan tasks for that visit, record observations and check out. Notes use short structured fields with free text where needed, so the record is complete without forcing a carer to type long paragraphs on a phone.
A dated record of every visit, written while it happens.
Relatives see when the carer arrived and left, which tasks were done and any notes the provider chooses to share. A daughter in London or a son in Abu Dhabi can follow the week without phoning the office, and the provider controls exactly what is visible.
Families informed without adding work for your coordinators.
Scheduled prompts for the client or the carer, with a record of each dose given, missed or refused. Where a nurse administers medication under your clinical procedures, the app captures the entry so supervising staff can review it later. Repeat refusals are flagged for the nurse in charge.
Fewer missed doses and a clear trail for clinical review.
Large text, high contrast, few choices per screen and an option to read content aloud. The client view may offer only three actions: see today's visit, call the provider and ask for help. Arabic and English are planned together, with right to left layouts built properly.
Older clients use the app without needing a relative beside them.
A clear button for the client or family to raise a concern, routed to the on duty coordinator with the client's details attached. Urgent cases follow the escalation path you define, and the app always shows the number for emergency services rather than pretending to replace them.
Concerns reach a named person quickly and leave a record.
Nurses complete intake assessments, record mobility, nutrition and risk notes, and build the care plan that drives each visit. Reviews are scheduled, and changes are logged with the name of the clinician who made them. Earlier versions of the plan stay on file, so a reviewer can see how a client's needs changed over the months and why each change was made.
Care plans that stay current and drive the daily tasks.
Hourly, daily or live in packages, invoices with VAT where it applies, and online payment for families. Relatives abroad can settle invoices by card without arranging a transfer, and finance staff see what is outstanding. Packages and rates are set by your finance team in the dashboard, so a change does not need a new app release.
Invoices issued from real visit data and paid faster.
Each nurse and caregiver profile holds licence numbers, expiry dates, language skills and completed training such as manual handling or dementia awareness. The rota warns a coordinator before assigning someone whose licence has lapsed or who lacks the skill a client's care plan calls for, and managers get reminders well before renewals fall due.
Only qualified staff are sent to each client, with proof on file.
One view of today's visits, late check ins, unfilled shifts, open concerns and staff licence expiry dates. Managers can export records when a regulator or an insurer asks for them. Reports cover visit punctuality, missed tasks and open concerns by client, carer or district.
Problems visible early, and records ready when someone asks.
Who we build for
Senior care in Dubai is delivered by quite different organisations. A home nursing company holding a DHA licence has clinical record duties that a companionship service does not. A day centre cares for groups in one building. Families may be Emirati, long term expatriate residents ageing in place, or relatives bringing a parent to live with them. The right app depends on which of these you are, so we start there. Many providers in Dubai fit more than one of these descriptions, and the app can grow from one service line into another once the first release is settled.
You send nurses and caregivers into homes across Dubai and keep clinical records for each client. We build around your care plans, nurse notes and supervision process, with access controls that reflect who may see clinical information. The app supports the documentation your licence requires; it does not replace your clinical governance, and we plan it alongside your medical director or nursing lead. Supervisory sign off on notes and care plan changes can be built in where your procedures require it.
Clinical workflows are agreed with your clinical lead before design.
Your staff help with daily living, outings and company rather than medical tasks. The priority is reliable scheduling, matching caregivers to clients by language and personality, visit confirmation and a warm, readable family feed. We keep the app light so caregivers adopt it on day one and families feel reassured rather than monitored. Matching notes, such as a shared language or a client's routine, are kept on the profile so a replacement carer arrives prepared when the usual one is away.
You care for several older adults in one place. Attendance, transport pickups, activity schedules, meal notes and incident records matter more than travel routes. We build a staff tablet view for the floor and a family app that shows the day's activities and any updates the centre decides to share. Pickup times for the centre's own transport can be shared with families, so nobody waits outside a villa wondering whether the bus has already left.
Families of senior Emiratis often already use Community Development Authority services and expect care to fit around them. We design Arabic first screens, family roles that reflect how decisions are made at home, and space in the record for the support a client already receives, so your service sits comfortably alongside public programmes rather than duplicating them. Gender preferences for carers are recorded and respected in scheduling.
We describe public programmes as context only; eligibility is for the authority to confirm.
Ways to work with us
We hold the first workshops in person at your Dubai premises, because watching a coordinator fill a rota teaches us more than any document. Smaller agencies usually begin with a fixed scope first release covering scheduling, visit notes and the family feed. Larger home healthcare groups often add a monthly retainer so the app keeps improving as regulations, staff and services change. Providers planning a wider platform, perhaps with telehealth or several branches, can take a dedicated team drawn from our 80+ people across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Our team has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Cross platform mobile frameworks for the family and caregiver apps, a secure web dashboard for coordinators, and hosting chosen with you so that health data sits where your policies and the UAE rules require. Notifications run through the standard Apple and Google services.

It depends on how many user types and integrations the first release needs.
A provider that needs scheduling, visit notes and a family feed has a much shorter build than one adding clinical assessments, medication records, billing and links to an existing health records system. We write the scope with you during discovery, test the riskiest parts first and then commit to a delivery plan. Pilot time with real families is part of that plan, because it is where the most useful corrections come from.
