Healthcare App

Launch your AI-built health app with the compliance it requires

HIPAA-aware security review, data protection, and production services for health tech and telemedicine apps built with AI coding tools.

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 we solve

The most common issues in AI-built healthcare app projects.

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 review

Our healthcare app audit covers these critical areas.

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

Frequently asked questions

Can I really build a healthcare app with AI tools?

You can build the UI and basic workflows with AI tools — patient portals, appointment booking, dashboards. But the compliance layer (encryption, audit logging, access controls, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure) must be added by someone who understands healthcare regulations. The AI-generated code is typically 30-40% of the final product.

Do I need HIPAA compliance if I'm not a hospital?

If your app stores, transmits, or processes any identifiable health information — patient names linked to conditions, medications, test results, or appointment details — you likely need to comply with HIPAA. This applies to telemedicine apps, patient portals, health trackers that store medical data, and any app that integrates with healthcare providers.

What hosting provider should I use for a healthcare app?

AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure all offer HIPAA-eligible services, but you must configure them correctly and sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Standard Vercel or Netlify hosting is not HIPAA-compliant. We help configure HIPAA-eligible infrastructure and ensure your data handling meets requirements.
