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.
Do you expect to run a business with this app ?
If yes, fill a leancanvas (on paper or http://www.leanstack.com/), validate your assumptions with interviews of patients and psychologists, show them mockups of the app with uxpin or balsamiq. When it's validated that you can earn money (how much are they willing to pay, how many are they), outsource the development.
If no, find a student to get the job done or if the app is not very complicated, learn to do it yourself with mobile app builders (http://mashable.com/2013/12/03/build-mobile-apps/).
