AI Development for Healthcare

Health software people rely on daily — we've shipped it ourselves. Custom AI for care workflows, patient engagement and health data.

Healthcare software has a brutal honesty test: people use it when they are stressed, sick or caring for someone who is. It either helps in that moment or it gets deleted. We know because we build and operate our own health apps — and that experience shapes every healthcare engagement we take.

What we build for health organisations

Patient engagement and adherence tools. Reminders, check-ins, education and nudges that people actually keep using — the difference between a care plan on paper and one that happens. This is the territory of our own products, and the hard-won lesson is that tone and timing beat features.

Document automation. Intake forms, referrals, discharge summaries, insurance documents — OCR and understanding that turn paper and PDFs into structured data, and agents that route them to the right place with an audit trail.

Internal knowledge assistants. Protocols, formularies, policy documents — a grounded assistant that gives staff cited answers in seconds instead of a binder hunt, and says “check with the pharmacist” when confidence drops.

Health data workflows. Dashboards, reconciliation, monitoring — the unglamorous plumbing that care teams rely on, built with production discipline.

How we think about privacy

Health data deserves paranoia. Our defaults: collect the minimum, process on-device where feasible (a discipline learned shipping iOS health apps), encrypt everywhere, log access, and deploy inside your infrastructure so data never transits ours. When a feature can work without the sensitive field, it should.

Where we draw the line

We build wellness, engagement, adherence and operational software. We do not play at regulated diagnostics: if your idea crosses into medical-device or clinical-decision territory, we will tell you in the first call and help you scope what is buildable now versus what needs a regulatory pathway. Honesty about that boundary is cheaper for you than our enthusiasm would be.

If you are budgeting, the cost guide applies to health projects too — data readiness is usually the swing factor. Ready to talk it through? Get in touch.

Things we've actually built

Pillpal

Our own iOS medication-adherence companion — smart dose reminders, adherence tracking, stock alerts and family monitoring. Designing reminder systems people don't abandon taught us more about health UX than any client brief could.

Breathr

A quit-smoking companion built around behaviour change — personalized quit plans and real-time craving support. Shipping it meant learning what actually keeps people engaged with a health goal for months, not days.

Frequently asked questions

Are you HIPAA / GDPR compliant?

We architect for the regime that applies to you: data minimisation, encryption, access controls, audit logs, and deployment inside your compliant infrastructure. For regulated builds, your compliance officer or counsel signs off on the design — we build to that bar rather than around it.

Do you build medical devices or diagnostic AI?

We stay honest about boundaries: we build wellness, adherence, engagement and workflow software. Anything that qualifies as a regulated medical device or clinical diagnosis needs a regulatory pathway we will flag immediately rather than blunder into.

Can AI work with our messy health data?

Usually, yes — health data is famously fragmented, and a short discovery phase tells us what is realistically usable. Document automation (intake forms, referrals, reports) is often the highest-ROI starting point precisely because it tames the mess.

What's a good first AI project for a health organisation?

Something high-volume and low-risk: document intake automation, appointment-related communication, adherence nudges, or an internal knowledge assistant for policies and protocols. Prove the pattern where mistakes are cheap, then climb.
