How Dev Technosys CEO Tarun Nagar Is Transforming Healthcare Software Development in 2026

Healthcare is having its biggest software moment in a generation. The global healthcare software market stands at roughly $38.5 billion in 2026 and is projected to cross $100 billion by 2035 (Dialectica), while telehealth alone has grown into a $191.88 billion market this year, on track for a 24.73% CAGR through 2035 (Towards Healthcare). Behind those numbers sit thousands of hospitals, clinics, and health-tech startups racing to modernize - and the development partners helping them do it.

One of those partners is Dev Technosys, the CMMI Level 3 certified software development company founded in 2010, with delivery hubs in India, the UAE, the USA, and Australia. We sat down with Founder & CEO Tarun Nagar to talk about what is actually changing in healthcare software in 2026 - beyond the AI hype - and how his teams are building for it.

Q1. Tarun, healthcare has been "going digital" for a decade. What makes 2026 genuinely different?
Two things have changed at the same time, and that combination is rare. First, the economics: AI in healthcare is projected to grow from about $50 billion in 2026 to over $500 billion by 2033 (Grand View Research), and investors have noticed - 54% of all digital health venture funding in 2025 went to AI-first companies (Rock Health). Second, and more importantly, patient behavior has permanently shifted. Deloitte found that 44% of US adults had a virtual visit in the past year, and 94% said they would do it again.
When capital and patient expectations move together, providers can no longer treat digital as a side project. In 2010, we built healthcare apps as companions to care. In 2026, the software is the front door of care. That is the shift we have restructured our entire healthcare practice around as a Healthcare App Development Company.

Q2. What does that restructuring look like in practice?
We stopped organizing around technologies and started organizing around care journeys. A patient does not experience "an EHR module" or "a telemedicine API" - they experience booking a doctor, getting a diagnosis, paying a bill, and being followed up with. So our healthcare pods now own journeys end to end: virtual care, chronic care management, provider operations, and patient engagement.
Under the hood, that still means deep engineering - FHIR-based interoperability, HIPAA and GDPR compliance, HL7 integrations, cloud-native architecture. But the organizing principle is the journey, not the stack. That is also why we expanded our Healthcare IT Solutions practice beyond app development into systems integration, legacy modernization, and analytics - because most hospitals do not have a greenfield; they have twenty years of accumulated systems that need to talk to each other.

Q3. Everyone claims to do "AI in healthcare" now. Where do you see AI genuinely earning its place?
Where it removes work from clinicians, not where it adds dashboards. The data point I quote most often internally comes from Dialectica's 2026 expert report: clinicians will simply bypass any system that takes more than 60 seconds for a standard task. That is the bar.
So the AI we ship is mostly invisible: ambient documentation that drafts clinical notes during a consult, intelligent triage that routes patients before they hit a waiting list, no-show prediction inside scheduling, and coding assistance in the revenue cycle. AI in telehealth specifically is projected to grow from around $5.6 billion in 2026 to over $32 billion by 2034 (Fortune Business Insights) - but the products that will capture that value are the ones clinicians never have to think about. If a doctor notices the AI, we have usually designed it wrong.

Q4. Mental health keeps coming up in every telehealth dataset. How big is it in your pipeline?
It dominates, and the data explains why: mental health accounted for 68.9% of all US telehealth claim lines according to FAIR Health - the next category was under 2%. Virtual delivery and behavioral health turned out to be a perfect structural fit.
But behavioral health has very different software needs from general medicine. Therapy notes, group sessions, treatment plans, outcome measures like PHQ-9 and GAD-7, 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality on top of HIPAA - generic EHRs handle these poorly. That is exactly why we built a dedicated practice around Mental Health EHR Software Development. It has become one of our fastest-growing healthcare verticals, driven by both US behavioral health groups and GCC providers building out national mental health programs.

Q5. On-demand care was the pandemic story. Is it still growing, or has it plateaued?
The panic-driven growth is over; the structural growth is just beginning. Usage normalized after 2021, but it normalized far above the old baseline, and teleconsultation still represents around 44% of telehealth application revenue (Towards Healthcare). What changed is buyer sophistication. In 2020, clients asked us to "build a video call app." In 2026, they ask for hybrid care platforms - virtual-first triage, e-prescriptions, lab integrations, remote monitoring hooks, and a physical-visit handoff when needed.
As a Doctor On Demand App Development Company, we now spend as much time on the clinical workflow design - who sees the patient queue, how escalations work, how records sync back to the primary EHR - as on the app itself. The apps that failed after the pandemic were video tools. The ones that survived were care delivery systems.

Q6. Providers complain that patient relationships are fragmented across systems. How are you solving that?
That fragmentation is the quiet crisis of healthcare operations. A patient's story lives in five places: the EHR, the billing system, the call center log, marketing emails, and a spreadsheet somewhere. Nobody owns the relationship.
Our answer has been purpose-built healthcare CRM - patient acquisition funnels, referral management, automated recalls and reminders, and post-discharge engagement, all integrated with clinical systems instead of bolted beside them. As a Healthcare CRM Software Development Company, we treat the CRM as the connective tissue between the clinical and business sides of a provider. The ROI case is straightforward: reducing no-shows and reactivating lapsed patients pays for the build faster than almost any other healthcare software investment.

Q7. You work across the USA, UAE, and India. How different are these healthcare markets to build for?
Radically different in regulation, surprisingly similar in ambition. The US is interoperability-first - FHIR mandates, information blocking rules, payer integration. The UAE and wider GCC are moving fastest on national digital health infrastructure; regulators there think in terms of platforms, not pilots, and compliance frameworks like DHA and NABIDH shape every build. India is a volume story - ABDM-linked systems that must work at massive scale on modest devices and bandwidth.
The discipline this forces on us is healthy: we design compliance and localization as architecture, not as afterthoughts. A platform born compliant in three regulatory regimes is simply a better platform.

Q8. What is your view on build quality in an era when AI can generate code and content instantly?
AI has raised the floor and raised the stakes. Anyone can generate a plausible-looking healthcare app in a weekend now. But plausible is dangerous in healthcare - the gap between a demo and a system that safely handles PHI, survives an audit, and integrates with a hospital's Epic instance is enormous, and it is exactly where engineering maturity matters.
This is where being CMMI Level 3 certified is not a badge for us; it is the operating system. Defined processes, traceability, security reviews, documented testing - these things feel slow until the day they save a client from a breach or a failed compliance audit. In 2026, our pitch to healthcare clients is honestly conservative: we will move fast on the product and be immovable on the process.

Q9. Finally - what should a healthcare founder or hospital CIO prioritize in the next 12 months?
Three things. First, fix your data foundation before buying more AI; models are only as good as the records underneath them. Second, design for the clinician's 60 seconds - adoption, not features, decides whether software transforms anything. Third, treat patient experience as a clinical outcome. The organizations winning in 2026 are not the ones with the most technology. They are the ones where technology has quietly disappeared into better care.
That is the standard we hold every build to - and honestly, it is a more exciting engineering challenge than any hype cycle.
