Healthcare technology with the infrastructure to get a BAA signed on day one.
We build custom healthtech platforms — telehealth systems, patient management portals, care coordination platforms, and the HIPAA-compliant infrastructure that healthcare organisations require before they'll sign a contract. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Most healthcare organisations won't pilot your product until you can demonstrate HIPAA compliance, sign a BAA, and explain your PHI handling. Getting that compliance infrastructure right on the first version avoids rebuilding the security model when your first health system contract requires it.
Healthtech products face a compliance barrier that non-healthcare products don't. Before a health system, medical group, or health plan will use your software, their compliance team will ask three questions: Can you sign a BAA? Is your PHI storage HIPAA-compliant? What does your access control model look like? If the answer to any of those questions is unsatisfactory, the procurement process ends — regardless of how good the product is.
HIPAA compliance is not an add-on you retrofit after product-market fit. It's an infrastructure decision made during the initial architecture that determines whether your access control, data encryption, audit logging, and breach notification capabilities satisfy the technical safeguard requirements in the Security Rule. Building a healthtech product without HIPAA-compliant infrastructure from day one means rebuilding those foundations when your first serious customer requires it — at a cost and timeline that often derails the company.
The other dimension is interoperability. Healthcare data doesn't live in isolation. Patient records are in EHRs (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth). Claims data is in clearinghouses. Lab results are in LIS systems. A healthtech platform that can't connect to these data sources via HL7 FHIR or direct EHR API is limited in the clinical value it can deliver — and limited in how much of the procurement conversation it can win.
A HIPAA-ready healthtech platform with compliant PHI storage, BAA-ready infrastructure, patient portal, provider-facing tools, and the audit logging that demonstrates to healthcare compliance teams that the system was built correctly.
HIPAA-compliant data infrastructure
PHI stored in encrypted databases (AES-256 at rest) on HIPAA BAA-covered infrastructure (AWS or GCP). Encryption in transit. Access control with minimum-necessary data access principles. PHI audit log for all read and write events.
Patient portal
Secure patient authentication (magic link or MFA). Patient health record access (conditions, medications, visits). Appointment scheduling and secure messaging with care team. Document upload and forms completion.
Provider-facing clinical tools
Provider dashboard with patient panel, scheduled appointments, and care queue. Clinical note creation (SOAP or custom template). Order management and results viewing. Care coordination tools for multi-provider workflows.
Telehealth integration
HIPAA-compliant video visit scheduling and session via Twilio (HIPAA BAA available) or Daily.co. Pre-visit intake forms sent automatically. Post-visit note and billing code generation.
EHR integration via FHIR
FHIR R4 API integration with Epic MyChart, Cerner, athenahealth, or your target EHR for patient demographics, conditions, medications, and appointments. Bi-directional data sync where the EHR's API supports writes. Built on Next.js, Postgres (encrypted), AWS with HIPAA BAA, Clerk for healthcare-grade authentication, and Twilio for HIPAA telehealth.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.
A HIPAA-ready healthtech platform with compliant PHI storage, BAA-ready infrastructure, patient portal, provider-facing tools, and the audit logging that demonstrates to healthcare compliance teams that the system was built correctly.
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 companies are often fundraising while building — the development cost is a line item in the financial model that investors evaluate. Fixed scope and fixed price on a HIPAA-compliant platform is how you present a credible technical cost in a pitch deck, not a "depends on what we find" estimate.
Related engagements.
Healthtech software is judged by clinicians, regulators, and patients. We build for all three.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires: access controls (user authentication with unique IDs), audit controls (log of PHI access), integrity controls (protection against improper PHI modification), transmission security (encryption in transit), and physical safeguard delegation (to your infrastructure provider via BAA). We implement all of these at the application and infrastructure layer.
We build the logging, access control, and infrastructure documentation that supports a SOC 2 audit. The audit engagement itself (with a SOC 2 auditor) is a separate process. We can introduce you to audit firms that work with early-stage healthtech companies.
Our development process treats all PHI in the project (real or test) according to HIPAA minimum-necessary standards. We do not use real PHI in development or test environments — synthetic data is used throughout. We sign a BAA with the client before handling any PHI.
Patient portal, provider tools, HIPAA infrastructure, telehealth, and FHIR integration typically runs $55k–$120k. EHR integration complexity is the primary cost variable. Fixed-price.
