For Healthtech founders

Engineering for
Healthtech Founders

Healthtech MVPs split into two camps: ones that pretend HIPAA isn't a real constraint, and ones that treat compliance as the whole project. The first ships fast and loses the first hospital contract. The second never ships.

Pilots with health systems have small windows. Miss a quarterly procurement cycle and you've added 90 days. Health systems don't reschedule.

Compliance

We ship HIPAA-aware code. We don't manage the HIPAA risk assessment, write your HIPAA policies, or train your team — those are separate compliance workstreams. We do work with healthtech-focused legal counsel you bring; we won't fake the legal side.

Why healthtech builds are different

Same engagement model.
Industry-specific defaults.

We don't pretend a generic SaaS stack ships healthtech at v1. The pain points below are what most builds in your industry get wrong on the first try — we wire them correctly from commit one.

The pain points

What breaks at v1 in healthtech

Each of these is something we've watched founders get wrong on the first build. We ship the correct version on day one.

01

HIPAA-aware architecture from day one

BAAs with your subprocessors, audit logging on every PHI access, encryption at rest with proper key management. Doing this from commit one is cheap. Bolting it on later is a rewrite.

02

BAA-ready vendor selection

AWS, Vercel, Stripe, Resend — we know which combinations work with a BAA in place. We don't use vendors that won't sign one for PHI-adjacent data.

03

FHIR / HL7 integration when it matters

Most healthtech MVPs don't need FHIR. The ones that do, need it shipped right. We don't pretend it's optional when it is, and we don't add it when it isn't.

04

Provider / patient roles done right

Two-sided access models with proper consent flows. Provider can see patient data, patient can see provider data, neither can see the other's other patients/providers. RLS from day one.

What we ship

Concretely,
by handoff.

The work you'd hand a salaried healthtech engineer — done end to end on a flat-price engagement.

  • HIPAA-aware multi-tenant architecture with audit logging from commit one
  • BAA-signed infra (AWS, Vercel Enterprise where needed) with proper key management
  • Patient / provider role models with consent flows
  • FHIR or HL7 integrations when the use case requires
  • Telehealth video (Daily.co, Vonage) with proper session handling

FAQ

Common healthtech questions

Are you HIPAA compliant?

+
Compliance is operational, not just technical. We ship code that satisfies HIPAA's technical safeguards. Your operations (training, BAAs, breach procedures) need to be in place too. We work alongside your healthcare counsel on the line.

Can you handle PHI?

+
Yes, on your infra under your BAAs. We design to minimize PHI exposure — store the minimum required, encrypt everything, log all access.

FDA software-as-medical-device?

+
Out of scope. SaMD requires a 510(k) submission and the engineering practices to back it. Specialized firms do this; we'd refer you.
