MVP Development

You tried to build your patient portal in Bubble or hire a generalist dev shop. Neither understood HIPAA. The app never launched, and now your grant window is closing.
saro builds MVP development for healthcare startups that are HIPAA-compliant from architecture day one. Patient portals, telehealth platforms, EHR integrations, and care coordination tools. Ship in 8 weeks. Fixed price.

Healthcare apps fail when developers don't understand HIPAA, HL7, or the realities of clinical workflow. We do. Here's what we ship.
Patient Portals
Secure, HIPAA-compliant patient-facing apps for appointment booking, messaging, test results, and care plans. Built on encrypted infrastructure from day one.
Telehealth Platforms
HIPAA-compliant video consultation, async messaging, and digital intake forms. We integrate with existing EHR systems so providers don't have to double-document.
EHR & HL7/FHIR Integrations
Direct integrations with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and smaller EMR systems using FHIR R4. We've done this 8 times. We know where the edge cases hide.
Care Coordination Tools
Multi-provider dashboards for care teams managing high-complexity patients. Reduces care gaps by surfacing the right patient at the right time.
Digital Intake & Forms
Replace paper and PDF forms with HIPAA-secure digital intake that pre-populates records and syncs to your EHR in real time. Cuts front-desk time by 30%.
Remote Patient Monitoring
IoT-connected dashboards that pull from wearables and home health devices, alert care teams to threshold breaches, and log data to the patient record automatically.
How saro Ships Your Healthcare MVP.
HIPAA compliance isn't a checkbox at the end. We build it into the architecture from hour one.
Compliance Audit
We review your existing tools, data flows, and vendor agreements. We sign a BAA before writing a single line of code. We identify every PHI touchpoint upfront.
Architecture Design
We design an encrypted, access-controlled architecture that satisfies HIPAA Technical Safeguards. No retrofitting later: it's right from day one.
Build Sprints
Two-week sprints. You see working, testable software every 14 days. No black box development. No surprises at the end.
Launch & Handover
We deploy to HIPAA-eligible infrastructure (AWS GovCloud, Azure Healthcare APIs, or your chosen host), hand over the codebase, and provide a 30-day support window.
Is This You?
Telehealth MVP: Built HIPAA-Compliant in 7 Weeks
A digital health startup came to saro after a dev agency delivered a patient portal that stored PHI in plain-text logs. We rebuilt it from scratch, HIPAA-compliant and HL7-connected to their partner clinic's EMR, in 7 weeks. Their seed demo closed a $400K round.
View Case StudiesCommon Questions.
Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
Yes. Always. Before any code is written or data is discussed. A BAA is non-negotiable on healthcare projects.
Can you integrate with Epic or Cerner?
Yes. We use FHIR R4 APIs for Epic and Cerner integration. We've connected platforms to both. Timeline depends on what sandbox access your partner clinic can provide.
How long does it take to build a HIPAA-compliant MVP?
8 weeks for a standard health tech MVP on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure. More complex EHR integrations or multi-provider platforms may run 10–12 weeks.
What if I just need a HIPAA audit on an existing app?
We offer a standalone compliance audit. We review your architecture, data flows, and vendor agreements, and deliver a written remediation plan. Two-week turnaround.
