Built for Health Tech Startups
You are building fast. The decisions you make now on data models, APIs, and standards compliance will determine how easily your product scales, integrates, and sells into enterprise healthcare. We help you get those decisions right.
Where startups run into trouble
Most health tech startups are not short of technical talent. The problems they face are specific to healthcare: a domain with unusual data complexity, strong standardization requirements, and customers that will not integrate with systems that do not comply.
Architecture decisions that compound
A data model built without clinical standards in mind becomes harder to fix with every new customer. The cost of getting it wrong grows faster than the product.
Compliance gaps in sales cycles
Enterprise buyers — hospitals, insurers, health systems — run due diligence on technical standards. A gap in FHIR, openEHR, or HL7 compliance surfaces at the worst possible moment.
Integration friction with existing systems
Healthcare organizations already run a complex mix of EHRs, PACS, LIS, and other systems. If your product cannot connect to them reliably, adoption stalls.
How we help
We work with early-stage and growth-stage teams to establish the technical foundation that enterprise healthcare requires. We do not offer generic software advice — our work is exclusively in healthcare IT, and has been since 2006.
Clinical Data Architecture
We review or design your clinical data model from the ground up, making sure it is structured to support openEHR, FHIR, or whichever standards your target market requires. A well-designed data model makes integration, reporting, and future product extensions significantly cheaper.
Standards Implementation
Implementing openEHR, FHIR, HL7 v2, or DICOM correctly requires more than reading the specification. We have implemented these standards across dozens of projects and know which parts of the spec are ambiguous, where vendors diverge, and what actually needs to work in production.
API & Integration Design
We design REST APIs and integration layers that follow the conventions healthcare organizations expect. Getting the API contract right early avoids expensive breaking changes once customers are live and dependent on your interfaces.
Prototype & MVP Development
Need to validate a clinical concept before committing to a full build? We help you design prototypes and MVPs that demonstrate the value of your idea to clinical stakeholders and technical buyers, using the architecture that your production system will eventually require.
What we have built
Our own software products started as solutions to problems we encountered in real projects. Atomik is a standards-based clinical data platform. The openEHR Toolkit is a complete workbench for managing openEHR artifacts. NoRA automates interaction with openEHR servers without writing code. We use these tools in consulting engagements and can help you understand how to build on top of them.
