Discuss your project

Software for health technology companies.

Answer the security questionnaire and ship the EHR integration your pilot depends on. FHIR and HL7 connectors are built for reuse across customers, with audit logging and a business associate agreement from the first release.

Illustration of a health-technology product built by Baybloom: an EHR connected through FHIR, the product’s own records, and scheduling kept in sync with every access audited.

Who this is for

Founders, product leaders, and CTOs at health-technology companies selling to practices, health systems, or patients: care coordination, patient engagement, monitoring, scheduling, or administrative products. The EHR stays the clinical record; we build the product and its integrations, under a business associate agreement, to the standards a health system’s security review expects.

What makes it urgent

  • A health system pilot depends on an EHR integration that does not exist yet.
  • A security questionnaire arrived and the product cannot answer it.
  • The roadmap has an integration or a mobile app the team cannot staff.

What usually breaks

  • Every customer integration is custom-built and fragile.
  • Audit logging and access control were added after the fact, or not at all.
  • Patient data handling is undocumented.

What we build

Software we build for health technology companies.

Reusable EHR connectors

FHIR and HL7 integrations packaged so each new health system customer is mostly configuration and testing rather than a fresh build.

Patient engagement apps

Mobile and web apps for intake, education, reminders, and messaging, designed for patients of every age and comfort level with technology.

Provider workflow tools

Care coordination worklists, referral tracking, and administrative tools that fit clinical routines and exchange data with the record through standard interfaces.

Remote monitoring and telehealth

Virtual visits through healthcare-grade video providers and device data routed to care-team queues, integrated with scheduling and the EHR.

Customer administration tools

Internal tools to onboard health system customers, configure their sites and roles, and support them without engineers touching production data.

Analytics on permitted data

Reporting and outcome dashboards built on de-identified or permitted data, so the product can show its value to buyers at renewal.

Your first release

What the first release could include.

In the first release

  • The product initiative that unblocks the pilot or the sale, scoped in writing
  • EHR integration through FHIR or HL7 for the resources it needs, built to reuse
  • Roles, single sign-on, encryption, and audit logging of patient-data access
  • A business associate agreement and data handling documented to HIPAA requirements
  • The documentation a health system’s security review asks for

Usually later

  • Additional EHR connectors and customers
  • Patient-facing app or telehealth features
  • Reporting and analytics on de-identified data where permitted

Systems it may connect

  • EHRs: Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, and practice systems
  • FHIR and HL7 interfaces and integration engines
  • Healthcare-grade video and device platforms
  • Identity providers and single sign-on
  • Scheduling and communication tools
  • Cloud accounts with healthcare configurations

How the work runs

Scoped in writing, built in releases, handed over to your team.

Scope

We start with the people doing the work and the systems around it, then write down the first release: what it includes, what it leaves for later, the integration decisions, and the acceptance criteria. Nothing is built until that scope is agreed.

Build and test

We build in releases you can review as the work takes shape, using realistic data. Every release carries tests, a security review, and documentation. Integrations are tested against real records, with exceptions visible.

Handover

Your team receives the documentation, the runbooks, and the training to run the system, and we stay on for continued engineering when you want it.

Scope and price

What shapes the scope and price.

Every project is priced from a written scope. These are the factors that move it most.

EHR vendors and customers

Each EHR vendor and each customer’s configuration differs, so the number of target systems shapes integration, testing, and connector design effort.

Security review expectations

Health system security questionnaires and risk assessments vary in depth, and meeting them adds controls, documentation, and evidence alongside product work.

Patient-facing scope

Products used directly by patients add accessibility, identity verification, consent, and support considerations that tools for providers alone can avoid.

Condition of the existing code

Extending a well-structured product is narrower than retrofitting access control, audit logging, and data handling into code that grew without them.

Care coordination startup

A signed pilot moves from file exchange to a live EHR integration.

Health technology startups often sign a pilot while their product still exchanges data with the health system by file. What the pilot depends on is usually a FHIR integration for the resources in the workflow, such as referrals and encounters, plus single sign-on, roles that match care roles, and audit logging of patient-data access. The health system’s security review also asks for documentation, which is produced alongside the code. The connector is built for reuse, so the next health system on the same EHR starts from it rather than from scratch.

Questions

Questions from health technology companies.

What leaders in this industry ask us first.

Can you integrate with Epic, Cerner, or our customer’s EHR?

Yes, through their FHIR and HL7 interfaces, for the resources your product needs, subject to what the vendor and the customer permit. The assessment confirms access before the scope is agreed.

How do you handle HIPAA?

We sign a business associate agreement and build only on hosting and database services that support HIPAA requirements. Data handling, roles, encryption, and audit logging are documented from the first release, with the answers your customers’ security reviews ask for.

Is our product a medical device?

Software that supports coordination and administration usually is not; software that makes or influences clinical decisions may be. We scope that boundary with your regulatory advisers rather than assume it.

Will you work alongside our engineers?

Yes. We deliver bounded initiatives to your standards and review process, and hand each one back with documentation.

How do we prepare for a health system security review?

We map the product’s controls to the questions health systems typically ask, close the gaps that matter, and produce documentation on access, encryption, audit logging, hosting, and incident response. Your team then has consistent answers for every questionnaire, with evidence drawn from how the product actually runs.

Can the product serve many health systems at once?

Yes. Each customer is separated by tenant with its own configuration, roles, and connector settings, and patient data isolation is tested in every release. New customers are added through admin tools, so growth means configuration rather than a new deployment for each health system.

What support is there after a customer goes live?

We monitor integrations and the product, handle interface failures, and update connectors when an EHR vendor or customer changes their configuration. Support runs under the business associate agreement in place for the work, and new connectors or features are scoped as releases on the same foundation.
