What we build · Healthcare

Every layer of
digital health.

From the patient-facing booking experience to the clinical backend to the compliance infrastructure — we engineer the full stack of healthcare software.

🏥
Product · Portal

Patient Portals

Secure patient-facing portals for appointment management, test results, care plans, messaging with clinical staff, and document uploads — all HIPAA-aware.

📅
Feature · Booking

Appointment Booking Systems

Online self-scheduling with availability rules, provider-specific calendars, automated reminders, cancellation workflows, and waitlist management.

🔗
Integration · EHR

EHR Integration

FHIR R4 and HL7 v2 integrations with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and others. Patient demographics, appointment data, clinical summaries, and lab results.

📹
Product · Telehealth

Telehealth Platforms

HIPAA-eligible video consultations via Twilio or Daily.co, asynchronous messaging, digital waiting rooms, and post-consultation workflow integration.

🏢
Product · Clinic

Clinic Management Systems

End-to-end clinic operations: patient flow, provider schedules, room booking, billing, insurance claims, and operational reporting dashboards.

💊
Feature · Clinical

Prescription & Medication Tracking

Electronic prescribing workflows, medication history, refill requests, pharmacy integration, and adherence tracking for chronic condition management.

📊
Feature · Analytics

Clinical Dashboards & Reporting

Operational and clinical dashboards for practice managers: appointment fill rates, no-show analysis, revenue cycle metrics, and patient outcome tracking.

🔐
Architecture · Compliance

HIPAA-Aware Infrastructure

Encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, role-based access, BAA-ready cloud setup (AWS, Azure), and security documentation for compliance teams.

Why a studio

Why not a health IT firm
or a large agency?

i.

vs. Health IT consultancies

Large health IT firms often operate on bloated timelines and charge for programme management overhead you do not need. They are optimised for NHS contracts, not for agile clinical software delivery. We move faster, communicate directly, and charge only for engineering hours — not for coordination layers.

ii.

vs. Generic software agencies

Healthcare is not a standard software domain. HIPAA, FHIR, HL7, clinical risk management, and patient data sensitivity are all learned through experience. A generic agency will discover these on your project. Our engineers have already been through that learning curve.

iii.

vs. Freelancer

Healthcare platforms require a breadth of skills — frontend, backend, security architecture, API integration, and compliance documentation. No single freelancer covers this adequately. We bring a coordinated studio team: all senior, all experienced in regulated software environments.

Healthcare platforms often begin as an MVP build and evolve through ongoing product scaling engagements as compliance and feature scope grow. See our full set of capabilities, read about how we work, or learn more about the team behind The Yellow Labs.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does custom healthcare software development cost?

We bill hourly from $40/hr. A patient booking portal typically runs 100–250 hours. A full patient management platform with portal, EHR integration, and telehealth generally ranges from 400–900 hours. HIPAA compliance architecture adds 30–80 hours depending on the existing infrastructure. We scope carefully and report hours weekly.

Is your team experienced with HIPAA compliance?

Yes. We build HIPAA-aware systems — meaning we architect for the technical safeguards required under the Security Rule: encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, audit logging, minimum necessary access, and Business Associate Agreement readiness. We do not act as compliance officers or provide legal advice, but we implement the technical controls that your compliance team and legal counsel need.

Can you integrate with existing EHR systems like Epic, Cerner, or Athenahealth?

Yes. We have experience with FHIR-based APIs and HL7 messaging. Modern EHR platforms expose FHIR R4 APIs for patient data, appointment scheduling, and clinical records. Older integrations may require HL7 v2 message parsing or custom interface engines. The integration complexity varies significantly by EHR vendor and their API programme — we assess this upfront.

What telehealth features can you build?

We build video consultation infrastructure using Twilio, Daily.co, or AWS Chime — HIPAA-eligible video platforms. This includes patient-facing appointment booking, clinician scheduling, waiting room flows, in-consultation chat, document sharing, and post-consultation note integration. We also build asynchronous telehealth (message-based consultations, photo assessments) for dermatology and similar specialties.

How long does a healthcare platform take to build?

A patient booking portal: 8–16 weeks. A patient portal with records access: 12–24 weeks. A full clinic management system with EHR integration and telehealth: 20–40 weeks. Healthcare projects tend to have longer discovery phases due to regulatory requirements — we build that time in from the start.

Do you build for NHS or private healthcare providers specifically?

We work with both. NHS-adjacent work often involves specific data standards (SNOMED CT, NHS Number, CDS), IG Toolkit alignment, and DCB0129 compliance for clinical risk. Private healthcare typically focuses on patient experience, conversion-optimised booking flows, and payment integration. We have experience in both contexts and structure the project accordingly.
