Healthcare software we build

Patient apps and portals

Appointment booking, intake forms, reminders, secure messaging, test results and bill pay, on the web and on iOS and Android.

Telehealth

Video visits, waiting rooms, visit notes and follow-up tasks, built on video providers that sign a business associate agreement.

Practice and clinic tools

Scheduling, staff workflows, intake triage and internal dashboards for clinics that outgrew spreadsheets.

Remote monitoring

Apps that collect readings from wearables and connected devices and alert care teams when values cross a set threshold.

EHR and system integrations

Read and write patient data through FHIR APIs and HL7 interfaces, and connect billing, labs and scheduling systems.

Home health and field care apps

Visit schedules, routes, offline notes and e-signatures for clinicians who see patients at home.

What makes healthcare software different

Protected health information

We design for HIPAA requirements: role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, audit trails and minimum necessary data.

Vendors and BAAs

Hosting, messaging, video and analytics providers have to sign a business associate agreement. We pick the stack with that in mind.

Messy integrations

Every EHR exposes data differently. We plan integration work early, test against sandboxes and handle partial or delayed data.

Users who are not tech-savvy

Older patients and busy staff need large text, few steps and clear language. Accessibility is part of the design, not an afterthought.

AI in healthcare apps

AI features in healthcare need clear limits and a human in the loop. We use them for administrative work first.

Visit note drafts

Draft summaries from a visit transcript for the clinician to review and sign.

Intake and triage help

Guide patients through intake questions and route requests to the right person or queue.

Document processing

Pull data from referrals, insurance cards and faxed forms into structured fields.

Patient questions

Answer common questions about hours, preparation and billing from approved content only.

How we run a healthcare project

  1. Discovery and data mapping

    Users, workflows, the data you will store and the systems you must connect to.

  2. Security and compliance plan

    Access roles, hosting, vendors and logging decided with your compliance lead before coding.

  3. Design and build

    Prototypes tested with patients or staff, then two-week sprints with working builds.

  4. Testing, launch and support

    Functional, security and accessibility testing, store release and ongoing updates.

A San Diego partner for health and life-science teams

San Diego is home to hospital systems, clinics, life-science companies and a growing number of digital health startups. Many of them need a development partner nearby who can sit in the room with clinicians and product owners. We are based in San Diego County and work with teams across the US.

We are not a healthcare-only shop. We bring experience building and running our own mobile and web product, and we pair it with careful planning for privacy, security and integrations. You own the code and decide where your data lives.

Our healthcare work includes BeauBella, an end-to-end booking platform that packages medical treatment with the travel around it.
