Healthcare software development company for providers, payers and health-tech products.

Usually more than one. Which ones only becomes clear once somebody reads what your partner actually sends. HL7 v2 over MLLP is what most installed hospital systems emit, and every site profiles it differently, so one hospital's interface rarely works at the next. FHIR is cleaner, but read access is usually broader than write. A vendor's app programme reaches data the others do not, on the vendor's calendar rather than yours. We ask for real sample messages at discovery.

We work on three engagement models: time and materials billed hourly and quoted per project, fixed price quoted per project against an agreed outcome, and team extension billed monthly per team member. Which fits depends on how firm the scope is, and we recommend one at the end of discovery. We do not publish a project price band: the range between one FHIR read integration and a regulated platform with its own isolated PHI environment is too wide for a number to help.

Most engagements start within two to four weeks of signature. The constraint on duration is rarely the application, it is the partner: a vendor app registration, a hospital IT security review or a sandbox credential sits on somebody else's calendar. We sequence those first and build everything that does not depend on them in parallel, aiming to put one working workflow in front of real users before the rest of the scope is committed.

We build to the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and sign a business associate agreement for engagements involving protected health information. HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility, not a certificate somebody hands you: we engineer the controls and document them so you can demonstrate them. unicrew holds ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, renewed through a multi-stage audit with Quay Audit UK. We do not hold SOC 2, and we tell you that rather than let you assume it.

Yes. A US home health monitoring platform came to us with periodic outages, needing a team that could take over the codebase without an extensive handover. We updated the cloud infrastructure, added monitoring, brought AWS costs down, ran a full UI and UX redesign, integrated further third-party data sources, and stayed on. The first weeks are deliberately unglamorous: stop the outages, get tests around what breaks most, and map what the system genuinely integrates with before anything is rewritten.

Yes, and the version worth doing first is usually retrieval, documentation and analytics rather than anything inside a treatment decision. The moment software diagnoses or drives care it can fall under Software as a Medical Device rules in the US or the EU, which changes your documentation and change control rather than your code. Settle which side of that line a feature sits on before it is built, not after it ships. See our AI integration services.

You own both. Put it in the contract rather than assume it. The code lives in your repository from the first commit rather than being handed over at the end, and the infrastructure runs in your cloud account where the work allows. Fixed-scope work carries a post-launch warranty whose length is agreed in the contract. If you would rather your own team ran it afterwards, say so at the start: it changes how much we document and when.
