Lahore engineering hub, serving Dubai & the UAE

Healthcare & EdTech SoftwareUAE

10silicon delivers healthcare software development UAE clinics, labs and health-tech founders rely on, alongside learning platforms for schools, universities and training providers across Dubai and the Emirates. Patient apps, appointment booking, telehealth, clinic management, learning management systems and virtual classrooms are built by our senior engineering team in Lahore and delivered in Gulf business hours.

Both sectors share a demand that most software ignores: the data belongs to people who did not choose the system. A patient's record and a student's grades need privacy by design, clear consent and access that is logged. In 7+ years and 100+ projects we have built both kinds of platforms, and that shared discipline is why we treat them as one practice.

What we build

Services for United Arab Emirates businesses

01

Clinic management software Dubai

Patient registration, scheduling across practitioners and rooms, electronic records, prescriptions, billing with insurance claim support and reporting, built for multi-branch clinics and single practices alike.

02

Patient apps and appointment booking

iOS and Android apps and web booking with real-time availability, reminders over WhatsApp and SMS, online payment, results access and family profiles, in Arabic and English.

03

Telehealth platforms

Video consultations with waiting rooms, e-prescriptions, secure chat and follow-up scheduling, integrated with the clinic record so the remote visit is documented like any other.

04

LMS development UAE

Learning management systems with course authoring, SCORM and video content, enrolment, progress tracking, certificates and integration with school information systems or HR platforms for corporate training.

05

Virtual classrooms and student portals

Live classes with recording, attendance and breakout rooms, plus portals where students and parents see timetables, assignments, fees and communication from the school.

06

Assessment and exam tools

Question banks, timed online exams, auto-marking for objective questions, rubric-based grading for essays, proctoring integrations and analytics on learning outcomes.

How we work

Our 3-step process

  1. 1

    Strategic Discovery

    We map your goals, users, constraints and success metrics into a scoped plan with a fixed first milestone before any code is written.

  2. 2

    Agile Engineering

    Two-week sprints with a demo at the end of each one. You see working software, not status reports, and can change direction early.

  3. 3

    Deployment & Growth

    Production launch with monitoring, documentation and a growth plan: performance, SEO, analytics and a maintenance retainer if you want one.

Why it works

Healthcare software development for the UAE, engineered in Lahore

Healthcare and education platforms are judged over years, not at launch. Regulations change, insurers update claim formats, a school adds a campus, and every academic year or clinic expansion brings a new list of requests. That makes the cost of ongoing engineering the decisive number. Our engineers, designers and QA are full-time employees in Lahore, one hour behind Gulf Standard Time, so you get senior people during your working day at a rate that keeps a long-term maintenance retainer affordable instead of a luxury.

Pakistan has a large private healthcare and education sector that has digitised quickly, so our team has built clinic systems, patient apps and learning platforms before and understands scheduling conflicts, insurance claim rejections and exam-day traffic spikes from experience. We do not have a UAE office. We offer video consultation at every stage and on-site consultation in Dubai for discovery workshops with clinicians or academic staff and for launch support.

UAE-ready by default

Built for how business works in United Arab Emirates

Offshore teams often learn UAE requirements on your project. We treat them as standard scope, so Arabic, AED payments, VAT invoicing and data protection are designed in rather than bolted on.

  • 01

    Arabic & RTL interfaces

    Bilingual English-Arabic layouts planned from the first wireframe, with right-to-left mirroring and Arabic typography that holds up on mobile.

  • 02

    UAE payment gateways

    Integration with Network International, Telr, PayTabs, Stripe and bank gateways, plus Tabby and Tamara instalments and cash on delivery flows.

  • 03

    VAT and e-invoicing

    FTA-compliant tax invoices with TRN, 5% VAT handling, credit notes and exports your accountant can reconcile.

  • 04

    Data protection by design

    Built with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law in mind: consent records, access control, encryption and data residency in Gulf cloud regions when required.

  • 05

    Sector rules designed in

    For fintech, healthcare and education builds we design for regulator expectations such as CBUAE, DHA and MOHAP requirements; compliance sign-off stays with your advisers.

  • 06

    WhatsApp-first customer flows

    Click-to-chat, WhatsApp Business API notifications and lead capture, because that is how UAE customers actually get in touch.

Compliance sign-off for regulated sectors stays with your legal and regulatory advisers; we build to the requirements they specify.

Healthcare

Clinic systems, patient apps and telehealth

A clinic platform has to work for three audiences at once: the front desk juggling walk-ins and calls, the practitioner who needs the record open in two clicks, and the patient who wants to book, reschedule and see results from a phone. We design each interface for its user rather than forcing everyone through one admin screen. Scheduling handles multiple practitioners, rooms and equipment; records are structured so that history, allergies and medications are visible at a glance; and billing produces insurance claims in the formats UAE payers expect, with rejections tracked and resubmitted.

Telehealth is built into the same record rather than bolted on as a separate video tool. A remote consultation opens from the appointment, runs over WebRTC with a waiting room, lets the practitioner issue an e-prescription and book the follow-up, and the whole encounter is documented alongside in-person visits. Where you need to exchange data with labs, hospitals or national systems, we build on HL7 FHIR so the integration is standards-based.

  • Multi-practitioner, multi-branch scheduling with waitlists and reminders
  • Structured electronic records with role-based access and full audit logs
  • Insurance billing with claim tracking and resubmission workflows
  • Telehealth with e-prescriptions, documented in the same patient record

EdTech

EdTech app development for Dubai schools and training providers

Learning platforms fail when they are built for administrators and used by students. We start with the learner's day: joining a live class on a phone, submitting an assignment from a tablet, checking a grade and a timetable in one place. From there we build the LMS, virtual classroom, student and parent portals and assessment tools as one connected system, with Arabic and English interfaces and single sign-on for staff and students.

For schools and universities we integrate with the student information system so enrolment, timetables and results stay in sync. For corporate and vocational training providers the same platform connects to HR systems, issues certificates and tracks compliance training. Exam periods are planned for: timed assessments, auto-marking, proctoring integrations and infrastructure that is load-tested for the moment when every student logs in at once.

Privacy

Privacy by design and regulatory requirements built in

Health and education data in the UAE is subject to data protection and sector rules that affect where data is stored, who may access it and how long it is kept. We are engineers, not a regulator or a certification body, and we do not claim certifications. What we do is design those requirements into the product: encryption at rest and in transit, hosting in a Gulf region when required, role-based access with the minimum needed for each job, consent capture, retention and deletion schedules, and audit logs that record every view of a sensitive record.

This starts in Strategic Discovery, where we list every data protection and regulatory obligation you bring us and decide how the system meets each one, continues through Agile Engineering with security review on every two-week release, and carries into Deployment & Growth with monitoring, documentation for your compliance team and a retainer that keeps the platform aligned as rules change.
