Pieces + Healthcare App

Built a healthcare app with Pieces?
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 Pieces apps

Building a healthcare app with Pieces 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 Pieces healthcare app

Data encryption — PHI encrypted at rest and in transit
Access controls — role-based access with minimum necessary enforcement
Audit logging — tamper-proof logs of all PHI access
Infrastructure — HIPAA-eligible hosting and database configuration
Authentication — MFA, session timeout, device management
Consent management — recorded, granular, revocable patient consent
Data portability — patient data export in standard formats
Backup and recovery — encrypted backups, tested restore procedures
Error handling — failures never expose PHI in error messages or logs
Third-party integrations — BAAs in place for all data processors

Common Pieces issues we fix

Beyond healthcare app-specific issues, these are Pieces patterns we commonly fix.

highBugs

Saved snippets used out of original context introduce bugs when reused

Code snippets saved from one project often have implicit dependencies — specific utility functions, environment variables, or framework versions — that are not present in the project where the snippet is reused, causing silent failures or runtime errors.

highSecurity

Security-sensitive snippets like auth helpers reused across projects with different requirements

Authentication, token validation, and cryptography snippets saved from one project may use algorithms or key lengths appropriate for that context but inadequate for a different security model, spreading security assumptions that do not apply.

mediumCode Quality

Version drift as saved snippets fall behind updated library APIs

Snippets saved against older versions of React, Dart, or TypeScript accumulate as libraries update, resulting in a snippet library that increasingly uses deprecated APIs or patterns that generate deprecation warnings or compilation errors in new projects.

mediumCode Quality

Mixed coding patterns from different projects used inconsistently in the same codebase

When developers pull snippets from different projects saved in Pieces, each snippet may follow a different style — one uses async/await, another uses callbacks; one uses Tailwind, another uses CSS modules — creating inconsistency within the target project.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a healthcare app with Pieces?

Pieces 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 Pieces leave in healthcare apps?

Common issues include: saved snippets used out of original context introduce bugs when reused, security-sensitive snippets like auth helpers reused across projects with different requirements, version drift as saved snippets fall behind updated library apis. For a healthcare app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for hipaa-compliant data handling.

How do I make my Pieces healthcare app production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Pieces-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 Pieces-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.
