What changes when it is healthcare & hospitals
A webhook without signature verification is an open endpoint. Retries without exponential backoff are a denial-of-service attack on your own partners.
In healthcare & hospitals, clinical safety and patient privacy mean nothing ships without human oversight and a complete audit trail. That single fact reshapes how api design & integration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is patient triage and follow-up calls, usually integrated against LIS. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.
The sector constraints we design around

Questions from this sector
Is patient data safe?
We deploy inside your infrastructure or a compliant cloud region, with de-identification wherever the workload allows it and full access logging. Patient data does not leave the boundary you set.
Will clinicians accept it?
Only if it saves them time on the first day. We start with documentation burden, discharge summaries and notes, because that is the pain clinicians name first.
REST or GraphQL?
REST for partner-facing and public APIs where caching and simplicity matter; GraphQL where a first-party client needs flexible, varied queries. Most systems end up with both, used deliberately.
Do you document it?
Generated from the OpenAPI specification, with a working sandbox. Documentation written by hand and separately always drifts.
Can you integrate with legacy SOAP systems?
Yes, usually by wrapping them in a clean modern interface rather than exposing the legacy contract onward.
