Intern Documents Compliance Checklist for Healthcare Professional Networking App DoctPro

A DoctPro intern conducted research to identify the regulatory, privacy, and publishing requirements needed before launching a healthcare-focused professional networking application. The research covers key areas including India's DPDP Act, professional credential verification, medical content moderation, cybersecurity standards, and app-store policies for both Google Play and the Apple App Store. Because the platform handles sensitive data such as medical registrations, qualifications, and potentially patient-related information, it cannot be treated as a standard social networking app. The intern noted that additional telemedicine and clinical regulations would apply only if DoctPro expands into services like diagnosis or teleconsultation. The document is framed as an internship research summary and not legal advice, with final compliance decisions recommended to be reviewed by the company's legal, medical, and security teams.
