Services · Mobile app development · Mental wellness apps
Codeeo delivers mental wellness app development Saudi Arabia providers, insurers, employers and founders can launch with the national rules already built in. We design Arabic first apps that connect users with SCFHS licensed practitioners under Ministry of Health telehealth rules, protect health data as sensitive data under the PDPL, verify identity through Nafath where needed and always send people at risk to emergency services and a human clinician.
A wellness app supports care rather than delivering it. We keep general wellbeing features clearly separate from licensed clinical services, and we never let an automated feature make a judgement about someone's safety.

What the app can include
A wellness product that serves the whole Kingdom has to work with national systems rather than city habits. Practitioners are licensed nationally by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties. Remote care sits under Ministry of Health telehealth regulations. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority decides when software becomes a medical device. SDAIA supervises the Personal Data Protection Law, and the National Cybersecurity Authority sets controls that many public sector clients and their suppliers must meet. Identity, payments and invoicing run on national rails such as Nafath, mada, SADAD and ZATCA's Fatoora platform.
The capabilities below are the national foundations we put in place. City specific features, such as shift scheduling for an industrial region or extra languages for a port workforce, are added on top as the rollout reaches each place. Getting the national layer right once means each new region is a configuration exercise rather than a rebuild.
Users who book paid clinical sessions can confirm their identity through Nafath, the national single sign on, while users of free self-guided content can stay pseudonymous. Separating the two levels lets more people try the app without handing over identity details they do not need to share.
Identity is verified where care requires it and nowhere else.
One register of practitioners across every region, each with their SCFHS classification, licence number, renewal date, languages and the cities where they also see patients in person. Your clinical governance team approves each entry, and lapsed registrations remove the profile from search.
Users anywhere in the Kingdom book only licensed practitioners.
Video, audio and secure messaging sessions, with consent captured before the first appointment, identity checks at session start, and records kept in line with the Ministry of Health telehealth regulations your clinical team works under.
Remote care is delivered on the same footing as clinic care.
A help control on every screen lists 997 for ambulance and other emergency contacts your clinical team approves, alongside signposting to the National Center for Mental Health Promotion's consultation line. Warning signs defined by your licensed clinical lead also alert an on call clinician. Automated features never assess risk alone.
Nobody at risk is left with only software to talk to.
Plain language Arabic and English notices, separate consents for sessions, research and marketing, and screens where users can view, export, correct or request deletion of their data. Health information is handled as sensitive personal data from the moment it is collected.
Users understand and control what happens to their information.
Arabic and English modules on stress, sleep, family life, study and work, each with an author, a reviewing clinician and a review date. Content is written for Saudi users, respects cultural and religious context and avoids any wording that promises a clinical result.
Self-guided material stays accurate, appropriate and honestly described.
Session allowances funded by employers or covered under insurance policies, with eligibility checks and claims handled through the routes your licensed provider already uses, including national insurance platforms where that applies. Funders see totals, never individual records.
People use covered sessions without paying first and claiming later.
mada, Apple Pay and STC Bank for self-paying users, SADAD for invoices where your finance team uses it, and e-invoices generated through an accounting system integrated with ZATCA's Fatoora requirements.
Revenue and tax records are correct in every region.
Features, content and practitioner availability switched on region by region, so you can launch in one city, check clinical cover and support load, then open Makkah, Madinah, Abha or Tabuk when the provider network is ready there.
Expansion follows clinical capacity, not just marketing plans.
Escalation counts, response times, licence renewals due, complaints and content review dates in one view for your medical director and compliance lead, with full audit logs of who accessed which record.
Leadership can evidence safe operation to regulators and partners.
Who this is for
As a mental wellness app development company with a team in Riyadh, we run national discovery workshops in person there, and include colleagues from other regions by video call. The organisations below need the most national thinking: their users, practitioners and obligations span several regions, and the product has to hold together as it grows. Each starts from the same national foundations but weights them very differently.
Practices and clinic groups that have built a reputation in one city often want to serve patients in other regions without opening new branches. A telehealth app lets licensed practitioners see users wherever they live, with consent, records and billing handled consistently. We plan the clinician register, scheduling across time preferences and the regional rollout order so the provider's capacity grows in step with demand. Users who later visit a branch in person find their history and preferences already in place, with their consent.
Clinical capacity, not geography, sets the pace.
Health insurers and administrators interested in mental wellness benefits need a member app that checks eligibility, routes members to network providers and keeps clinical data with those providers. We build the member side, the provider connections and the reporting your medical and actuarial teams need, all without exposing individual records to the funder. Network providers keep their own clinical systems, and the app simply hands members to them.
Organisations with staff in many regions want one programme that works equally well in head office and in branch locations. The app gives every employee private access, adjusts content and practitioner choice by region, and reports only anonymised figures. Public sector clients and their suppliers usually need the solution aligned with National Cybersecurity Authority controls, which we plan for from discovery. Regional managers can promote the programme locally without ever seeing who has signed up.
Startups need a product that is credible to users, app stores, investors and regulators at the same time. Custom mental wellness app development lets you own your content, clinician relationships and data while staying clearly on the general wellness side of SFDA guidance, unless you deliberately choose a regulated path. We help you scope a first version that can launch in one city and grow nationally. Your investors also see a governance model that can stand up to scrutiny as the user base grows.
Decide early whether you are a wellness product or a regulated device.
How we work together
Most national projects begin with a fixed scope first release for one city, then move to a retainer for new regions, features, content and compliance updates. Insurers, large employers and growing startups often choose a dedicated team of mental wellness app developers who stay with the platform as it expands. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. Every engagement starts with a written scope and named owners for clinical sign off. We also agree how compliance evidence, such as penetration test reports and protocol reviews, is produced and shared with your regulators or clients.
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
Native or cross platform mobile apps, a web portal for clinicians and administrators, secure video infrastructure and cloud hosting in regions that match your data residency obligations. Architecture is documented so your own engineers can take ownership.

Several, depending on what the app does.
Clinical sessions require practitioners licensed by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties and follow Ministry of Health telehealth regulations. Health data falls under the Personal Data Protection Law, supervised by SDAIA. If features diagnose or guide treatment, SFDA medical device rules may apply. Public sector work often brings NCA controls, and paid services need ZATCA compliant e-invoicing. Your legal adviser confirms the final position; we design the product to meet it. We keep a short regulatory register for your project that lists each obligation and the feature that meets it.
