Healthcare software, under a signed BAA
At least 43,900 hours on healthcare products and about a tenth of everything we are shipping right now: an AI layer over the EMR, patient education built on retrieval, and telemedicine flows. The compliance work is in the estimate, not bolted on at the end.


What we take on in healthcare
An AI layer over the record you already have
Our largest healthcare engagement sits between practice leadership and the EMR: surfacing what the record already knows, routing patients, and finding the procedures a practice is leaving on the table. Nobody is replacing the EMR, which is the point — the money is in reading it properly.
Patient education and engagement
A HIPAA-compliant platform where a physician enters text and the system produces a personalised, narrated explanation for the patient, built on a retrieval pipeline over the practice’s own material rather than on whatever a general model remembers.
Telemedicine flows
The unglamorous half of virtual care: scheduling, intake, consent, documentation and the handoffs between them. We are on one of these now, with a team that has been scaling through 2026.
Taking over a health product mid-flight
The most common way these engagements start. Someone has a product, the team that built it has gone, and the questions are whether PHI is handled the way the paperwork claims and what it costs to make changes safely.
The compliance-shaped work nobody budgets for
Audit trails, consent capture, role and access boundaries, data retention, and keeping PHI out of the places it should never reach — logs, analytics, prompts. In healthcare this is not a phase at the end; it decides the schema.
How a healthcare engagement starts
- Before any access
A BAA. We sign one as a matter of course, and no engineer sees a repository, a dataset or an environment before it is in place. If you are asking us to skip that to save a week, we are the wrong vendor.
- Days 1–2
A call, then a written profile of the people you need, and a straight answer about whether the timeline is real. Healthcare briefs carry a compliance tail that is usually missing from the estimate.
- Days 3–14
Most healthcare work here is staffed from React, Node, Python and Rails developers already on client engagements, so a match is more likely than a search. Where we recruit, the medians on the stack pages apply — 22 days for React, 43 for Node.
- First week on the project
Read the data model before writing anything, and find out where PHI actually travels. On an inherited product that answer is rarely the one in the documentation.
How a healthcare engagement is shaped
Developers into your health-tech team
The common shape: one to four engineers inside an existing product team, working to your process, your review and your compliance posture.
A team on the product
Engineers plus a project manager who runs standups and reports hours, for products where you do not have engineering management in-house. Our two largest healthcare engagements are this shape.
Audit first, then decide
Where you inherited something and do not yet trust it: we read the codebase, score it and hand you the list of what it would cost to make safe. You can stop there, and some clients do.
Working with a healthcare team
Where the team sits
More than half our engineers now sit in Latin America, with most of the rest in Eastern Europe. In healthcare the overlap earns its keep on the compliance questions — whether a field is PHI, whether a log line can exist — because those block the work until someone answers them, and waiting a day for an answer costs more than the work itself.
How people get here
Healthcare work here is staffed from the same people as everything else, hired through the same funnel: about one hire per 130 applications on the front-end side and 157 on the back end. What differs is access — a BAA and scoped credentials before anyone opens a repository.
