Government mobile apps are held to a higher bar
A federal mobile app is not just a build — it is a system that must be accessible, secure, instrumented for evidence, and defensible to oversight. VAERESOURCE brings a data-and-assurance discipline to mobile development: the app ships, the data behind it is trustworthy, and every design decision holds up to a 508 review and a security review.
What our mobile app development includes
- Native & cross-platform development — iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin), or a shared cross-platform codebase where it fits the mission.
- App updates & portfolio maintenance — major and minor releases, dependency upgrades, and long-term support of an existing app portfolio.
- Secure data instrumentation — page-view and event capture (session start/stop, duration, feature use) with store-and-forward, encrypted transmission, and per-app research databases and query interfaces.
- Research enablement — invitation-code gating, cohort instrumentation, and data pipelines that support clinical trials and investigator research.
- Section 508 & accessibility — conformant UI and graphic design, built in from the first screen rather than retrofitted.
- Security & compliance — delivery aligned to VA TRM, Zero Trust critical controls, FICAM, and NIST-based data protection.
- App Store & Play Store delivery — build, package, and deploy, with quality testing and issue resolution through release.
Data and AI discipline, applied to mobile
What sets our mobile work apart is the engineering behind it. We treat the data an app produces as a first-class deliverable — validated, reconciled, and query-ready — and where an app uses AI or LLM features, we bring our trusted-AI practice: human-in-the-loop, fail-closed behavior, and the documentation an agency needs to authorize it. For missions where an app supports vulnerable users, that assurance is not optional.
