Built a healthcare app with Augment Code?
We'll make it production-ready.
Healthcare apps handle protected health information (PHI) — patient records, diagnoses, medications, and medical histories. This data is among the most heavily regulated in any industry, and a breach can result in six-figure fines and criminal liability. AI tools can build patient portals and appointment systems quickly, but they have zero awareness of HIPAA requirements, data handling rules, or healthcare-specific security standards.
Healthcare App challenges in Augment Code apps
Building a healthcare app with Augment Code is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
HIPAA-compliant data handling
Protected health information must be encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit, access-logged, and stored only in HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. AI tools store data in standard databases with no encryption, no access logging, and on hosting providers that may not offer HIPAA-compliant tiers.
Access controls and minimum necessary rule
Healthcare regulations require that users only access the minimum data necessary for their role. A nurse sees different data than a billing clerk. AI-generated auth gives everyone the same access level, which violates the minimum necessary principle.
Audit logging for compliance
Every access to patient data must be logged — who viewed it, when, from where, and what they accessed. These logs must be tamper-proof and retained for six years. AI tools don't generate any audit logging, let alone compliant audit trails.
Telemedicine reliability
Video consultations, real-time messaging, and appointment scheduling must work reliably — a dropped video call during a medical consultation is not just frustrating, it's a patient safety issue. AI tools generate basic WebRTC setup without fallback mechanisms or connection quality monitoring.
Patient data portability
Patients have the right to access and export their health records. Your app needs secure data export, standard health data formats (FHIR, HL7), and the ability for patients to transfer their data. AI tools don't implement any data portability features.
Consent management
Patients must explicitly consent to data collection, sharing, and treatment. This consent must be recorded, revocable, and granular (consent to share with one provider doesn't mean consent to share with all). AI tools don't build consent management systems.
What we check in your Augment Code healthcare app
Common Augment Code issues we fix
Beyond healthcare app-specific issues, these are Augment Code patterns we commonly fix.
Cross-module dependency suggestions that violate architectural boundaries
Augment Code's broad codebase awareness can lead it to suggest importing modules or calling functions across architectural layers that should be decoupled — for example, suggesting a UI component directly call a database utility instead of going through a service layer.
Security patterns from older parts of the codebase propagated to new code
When the codebase contains legacy code with deprecated or insecure patterns, Augment Code learns from those patterns and may suggest them in new code, spreading outdated authentication, validation, or encryption approaches.
Suggestions mirror existing buggy patterns rather than fixing the root cause
If the codebase has a consistent bug pattern — such as a missing null check in multiple similar functions — Augment Code will replicate that bug in new suggestions because it learns from existing code rather than reasoning about correctness.
Monorepo package boundary confusion leads to circular import suggestions
In large monorepos with shared packages, Augment Code sometimes suggests imports that create circular dependencies between packages, which can cause build failures or subtle runtime initialization order bugs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a healthcare app with Augment Code?
Augment Code is a great starting point for a healthcare app. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but healthcare apps have specific requirements — hipaa-compliant data handling and access controls and minimum necessary rule — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Augment Code leave in healthcare apps?
Common issues include: cross-module dependency suggestions that violate architectural boundaries, security patterns from older parts of the codebase propagated to new code, suggestions mirror existing buggy patterns rather than fixing the root cause. For a healthcare app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for hipaa-compliant data handling.
How do I make my Augment Code healthcare app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Augment Code-built healthcare apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Augment Code-built healthcare app?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger healthcare app projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
