Questions

I'm thinking on developing an app for cognitive behavioral therapy for insomniacs. I have a full-time job so I don't have much time. I would like to prove that my idea works without spending a lot of time. My focus will be prototyping, testing and doing UX/Usability tests keep improving the app. What is the easiest way to start? I've found this: http://www.siberiancms.com/ but I'm not sure if that's good. Should I focus on Android because the approval process is easier? I see two main functions in this app, data collection from patients so the psychologist can keep track of his patients and also education for the patients. I might get some help from a freelancer but I want to be part of the architecture process so I can learn too.

The main question to be asking yourself is this an app that people really want or need. I have been working in healthcare for over 20 years and I can tell you that on the surface it seems like a good idea.

My suggestion is to first get a conversation started regarding your product then make sure that you are offering specifically what the market demands. You can do this be participating in LinkedIn groups, etc.
Finally, I work with a lot of programmers and startups and suggest that you look around for places to outsource the work. I will not give any lists of places here, but I will tell you that prices vary from one place to another.
By the time you become a programmer the timing for your app may have passed and the demand may have been filled. Start learning, but don't count on doing the work yourself.
Don't Stop and Take Massive Action.
