HIPAA-Compliant Healthcare Software Development in Boston

Healthcare software carries a compliance weight that most developers aren't equipped to handle. We've built HIPAA-compliant platforms for practices, digital health companies, and enterprise healthcare organizations — including McKesson (Fortune 10), Doctor On Demand, and IntelyCare.

What We Do

Healthcare software is not just software with a checkbox for HIPAA. The compliance requirements touch your architecture, your data storage, your access controls, your logging, and your vendor contracts. We've designed and built systems that satisfy these requirements in production — not in theory — and we bring that depth to every healthcare engagement.

Our healthcare work spans from multi-physician practice portals to enterprise workforce management platforms serving tens of thousands of clinical staff. The scale changes; the compliance requirements don't.

Healthcare Software Capabilities

  • Patient portal development — online scheduling, digital intake, messaging, and visit summaries integrated with your practice workflows.
  • EHR / EMR integration — HL7 and FHIR-based integration with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and other EHR systems.
  • HIPAA-compliant AWS architecture — encrypted RDS, VPC isolation, CloudTrail audit logging, WAF, and Business Associate Agreements with AWS and sub-processors.
  • Telehealth platform engineering — video consultation infrastructure, provider scheduling, consent workflows, and mobile-compatible interfaces.
  • Mobile health apps — iOS and Android applications using React Native for patient-facing and clinician-facing workflows.
  • Clinical data pipelines — ETL, reporting, and analytics systems that handle PHI with appropriate de-identification and access controls.
  • Healthcare workforce management — staff scheduling, credentialing, and operations platforms for healthcare staffing organizations.
  • Legacy system modernization — migrating older healthcare platforms to modern, maintainable architectures without losing institutional data or workflows.

HIPAA Compliance in Practice

Every healthcare engagement includes:

  • AWS Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and sub-processor BAA review
  • Encrypted-at-rest and encrypted-in-transit PHI storage using Amazon RDS with AES-256
  • VPC isolation with private subnets for all data-tier resources
  • CloudTrail/CloudWatch infrastructure audit logging, plus application-level audit logs for record-level PHI access
  • AWS WAF and rate limiting for patient-facing endpoints
  • Role-based access control with least-privilege IAM policies
  • Data retention and deletion policies aligned with your state and federal obligations

Related Work

Our HIPAA-compliant patient portal case study covers a Boston-area medical practice that moved from phone-only scheduling and paper intake to a fully digital, HIPAA-compliant portal with HL7/FHIR EHR integration — cutting check-in time from 9 minutes to 3 minutes and reducing no-shows by 50%.

We also write up what HIPAA compliance actually requires in practice: vendor BAAs, encryption, separating PHI from everything else, and what a breach really costs.
