Healthcare software built with privacy and compliance awareness.
Healthtech development involves PHI handling, HIPAA considerations, patient data privacy, and integrations with healthcare data standards. The stakes are higher than standard software — both for user privacy and regulatory compliance.
Need a healthtech developer for patient software, clinical tools, or health data applications with HIPAA awareness
Healthtech software has requirements that other software categories don't:
HIPAA: If the application handles Protected Health Information (PHI) — any information that connects health data to an individual — HIPAA applies. This requires: Business Associate Agreements with vendors, access controls, audit logging, encryption, and breach notification procedures.
PHI handling in the codebase:
- Don't log PHI to standard logging services (Logtail, Datadog) without PHI-scrubbing
- Don't store PHI in localStorage or sessionStorage
- Encrypt PHI at rest (Postgres encrypts at disk level with most managed providers)
- Audit log every access to PHI records
BAA-compliant vendors: Not all vendors sign BAAs. The list of BAA-compatible vendors: AWS (yes), Google Cloud (yes), Vercel (yes for Enterprise), Neon (check current status), Sentry (configurable — scrub PHI from error reports).
The scope of HIPAA: If you're building software for providers or payers who handle PHI: HIPAA applies. If you're building wellness apps with no PHI: HIPAA doesn't apply. The line is whether PHI flows through the system.

One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.
Healthcare application with appropriate privacy controls, PHI handling, audit logging, and BAA-compliant infrastructure
Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Healthtech scope includes compliance requirements alongside feature requirements. Fixed-price from full specification.
Related engagements.
Questions, answered.
Only if the app handles PHI. A step-counter app with no PII connection to health data is not subject to HIPAA. A telehealth app that connects health data to identifiable individuals: yes.
