“Have you ever watched a Formula 1 race or Disney's "Cars"?
Remember how the pit crew swiftly changes the tires? We did something similar! But we love challenges, so we did it while the car was still on the racetrack — in motion!
That "we" is actually a very small team of the most talented people I've ever met.”

Problem we solved
We've seen each of these in at least one project.
Working with fragmented data sources
Multiple databases, inconsistent data models, limited interoperability.
Integrating with legacy & third-party systems
Old APIs, incomplete documentation, vendors outside your control.
Ensuring data security in complex landscapes
Access control, sensitive patient data, security by design — not an afterthought.
Scaling beyond MVP without breaking compliance
Architecture not ready for growth, performance and availability risks.
Maintaining reliability in critical environments
Downtime, failed releases or data issues that directly affect patients.
Publishing new versions safely and on time
High risk of deployment issues, long release cycles, limited rollback options.

EU AI Act for Medical AI: What the 2028 delay changes for healthtech teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Date: May 18, 2026

The EU’s Digital Omnibus agreement pushes high-risk AI obligations for medical devices from August 2027 to August 2028, and standalone Annex III systems from August 2026 to December 2027. For healthtech teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, that extra year is a planning gift, not an architectural reprieve. TL;DR – what changed and what didn’t The provisional Digital Omnibus […]

EHDS by 2029: What 4 implementation deadlines mean for healthtech teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

The European Health Data Space rolls out in phases through 2029 and 2031. Here’s what each phase actually requires from product teams building digital health software in the DACH region and where we’ve seen teams already make decisions they’ll regret. Most healthtech CTOs we talk to in DACH treat EHDS as „GDPR for medical data”. It isn’t. GDPR tells you what […]

Frequently asked questions
What is healthcare system integration, and how does it deliver interoperability?
Healthcare system integration connects EHRs, lab systems, imaging, billing, and patient-facing apps into a single data layer that delivers true interoperability. We typically build healthcare interoperability solutions on HL7 FHIR R4 with REST APIs and event streams (Kafka, Apache Camel).
The result: no duplicate data entry, faster clinical decisions, and HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 compliance out of the box.
What does healthcare startup software development typically include?
Healthcare startup software development typically delivers four things:
- HIPAA- or GDPR-ready architecture from day one
- a working MVP shipped in 12–16 weeks
- integrations with EHRs and wearables (Apple Health, Fitbit, Dexcom)
- a compliance trail with audit logs and consent
We delivered this exact scope for 9am.health, a virtual diabetes clinic, and for Mentalyc (AI therapy notes, SOC 2 Type II).
How does digital health platform development differ from telemedicine platform development?
A telemedicine platform development company typically builds a subset of features: video consultations, e-prescriptions, scheduling. Digital health platform development goes broader, adding:
- patient-reported outcomes
- wearable data ingestion
- care plans
- lab integrations
- billing and analytics
Telemedicine launches in 4–6 months; a full platform delivered through custom software development takes 9–18, depending on EHR integrations and HIPAA, MDR, or FDA scope.
How long does MVP development for a healthcare startup take, and what should it include?
MVP development for a healthcare startup typically takes 12–16 weeks and covers one core journey end-to-end:
- signup with verified consent
- the primary clinical workflow (teleconsult, symptom log, or prescription request)
- one EHR or wearable integration
- audit-ready logging
Skip advanced analytics until you've validated retention. See exactly how we build HIPAA- and BSI-compliant healthcare platforms for Selfapy and Mentalyc.
What are medical device software development services (SaMD), and when do you need them?
Medical device software development services cover Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): software that diagnoses, monitors, or treats a condition without being part of a hardware device. You need them when your product makes clinical claims or feeds clinical decisions.
Expect the following standards and approvals:
- IEC 62304 for software lifecycle
- ISO 13485 for quality management
- ISO 14971 for risk management
- FDA 510(k) or EU MDR clearance
All backed by IEC 62304-aligned QA testing.
What does healthcare data platform development look like, and which healthcare cloud solutions work best?
Healthcare data platform development on AWS typically combines:
- AWS HealthLake (FHIR data store)
- S3 with KMS encryption
- Glue or EMR for ETL
- Redshift or Athena for analytics
- only HIPAA-eligible services signed under a BAA
Through our Amazon Web Services consulting we migrated mySugr to AWS Aurora and cut maintenance costs by 50%. Equivalent healthcare cloud solutions exist on Azure and GCP.
What do healthcare digital transformation services change in a hospital or clinic?
Three things shift in practice:
- paper and faxes get replaced by EHR plus e-signatures
- scheduling and billing move into an integrated CRM (cutting no-shows by 20–30%)
- clinical data becomes queryable for population health
Our healthcare digital transformation services start with the highest-pain workflow rather than a three-year roadmap. ROI typically shows on the first workflow in 6–9 months.
