Austria is finalizing a reimbursement pathway for digital health applications. Most applications will fail and not for clinical reasons. We work with healthtech teams across the DACH region, and when the news about Austria’s DiHA framework started circulating in early 2026, we saw a familiar pattern in how teams responded. Founders forwarded the announcement to their product leads. Product leads told their […]

I’ve been at fireup.pro for three months. For a month and a half of that time, I’ve been building a system that handles part of my everyday development work for me. What is Agent Yoda and why did i build it? Agent Yoda turns a production error alert into a ready-to-review fix proposal. It reads the logs, identifies the root cause, writes a test […]

Building a regulated health product in Austria means navigating ELGA, MDR, and EHDS before writing a single line of code. Here’s what separates the right partner from an expensive lesson. A healthcare software development partner for an Austrian digital health startup should have production experience with ELGA integration, working knowledge of EU MDR software classification, and awareness of the EHDS […]

The Digital Omnibus gave healthtech teams more time on paper. In practice, if you’re building AI into a medical device, the work was already overdue. On June 29, 2026, the Council of the EU formally approved the Digital Omnibus package, pushing the compliance deadline for high-risk AI systems from August 2, 2026 to December 2027, or August 2028 for AI embedded in products […]

N8N is an open-source workflow automation platform that lets you connect systems, APIs, and databases through a visual drag-and-drop editor with the option to write JavaScript when the logic gets more complex. It runs on your own infrastructure, with no dependency on external clouds. For logistics data processed at any meaningful scale, that distinction matters. This article covers what N8N is, […]

For many enterprises, developing a mobile app has become a major priority in order to gain clients. Native app development is an excellent choice among the many possibilities because of the numerous advantages it gives you. This article will provide you with an insight into this strategy and some examples of native applications to consider.

In most industries, an MVP can be scrappy. In healthcare, scrappy has a regulatory meaning and it usually costs more to fix than to get right the first time. What Is MVP development for a healthcare startup? MVP development for a healthcare startup is the process of building the smallest version of a digital health product that can be safely deployed to real users, validated with […]

Across production projects including mySugr/Roche (1M+ users, 52 countries) and 9amHealth, healthcare system integration breaks in predictable ways. Teams build the technically interesting layer first and discover months later that insurance billing or pharmacy connectivity was the actual revenue gate. Compliance requirements treated as late-stage tasks become re-architecture problems. AI pipelines create PHI exposure nobody modeled. These patterns […]

Transcribing and summarizing long meeting recordings with AI requires three layers working together: a speech-to-text model (Whisper is the current benchmark), a summarization framework to handle documents that exceed any model’s context window, and optionally a RAG pipeline for asking specific questions of the content. The full stack runs locally on a decent GPU, respects data residency requirements, and costs under […]

Austria’s electronic health record system has specific integration requirements that most development teams discover only after their architecture is already set. Here’s what to decide before you write the first line of code. Most founders building digital health products for the Austrian market spend the first few months focused on MDR classification and GDPR compliance and discover […]
