Healthcare software development with HIPAA built in
Healthcare products live or die on trust. We build patient and provider applications with HIPAA safeguards designed into the architecture — not bolted on before an audit — and integrate them with the EHR systems clinicians already use.
Engineering for the realities of healthcare technology
PHI everywhere, safely
Encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, audit logging, session controls, and data minimization so protected health information only lives where it has to.
EHR interoperability
Integrations with electronic health record systems using HL7 v2 feeds, FHIR R4 APIs, and SMART on FHIR app launch, plus vendor-specific APIs and file-based exchanges when that is what’s available.
Compliance you can document
We sign Business Associate Agreements, run on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure, and help produce the technical documentation your risk assessment and auditors will ask for.

Don’t see your question? Ask a senior engineer directly.
Does my health app need to be HIPAA compliant?
It depends on whose data you handle and why. If you are a covered entity — a provider, health plan, or clearinghouse — or you create, receive, store, or transmit PHI on behalf of one, you are a business associate and HIPAA applies. Many direct-to-consumer wellness apps fall outside HIPAA but can still be subject to FTC health-data rules and state privacy laws. We help you map this early, alongside your legal counsel.
What makes a healthcare app HIPAA compliant?
Compliance combines technical safeguards (encryption, access controls, audit logs, automatic logoff), administrative safeguards (risk analysis, policies, training), and physical safeguards, plus BAAs with every vendor that touches PHI. There is no official “HIPAA certification” for software; it has to be built and operated to support a compliant program.
Will you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
Yes. When our work involves access to PHI, we sign a BAA — and we make sure the cloud hosting, email, SMS, and monitoring services in your stack are covered by their own BAAs too.
Can you integrate with Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), or athenahealth?
Yes, using FHIR R4 and SMART on FHIR where available and HL7 v2 interfaces where the health system requires them. Each EHR has its own developer program and approval steps, and those often set the timeline more than the engineering does, so we plan for them from day one.
How much does it cost to build a HIPAA-compliant app?
It depends on the number of user roles, EHR integrations, and whether you need web, mobile, or both. Building compliance in from the start is far cheaper than retrofitting it later. After a short discovery call we provide a ranged estimate specific to your scope.
