Industries

Healthcare platforms where the rules are in the architecture.

Patient platforms and clinical data systems where consent, retention and access rules are built into the design — not layered on afterwards as policy and hope.

At a glance

Consent
Captured as state
What was agreed, by whom, and when it changed
Least privilege
Access to PHI
Role and purpose checked at the point of read
Retention
Schedules enforced
Lifecycle rules applied by the platform itself
Audit trail
Every access recorded
Reads logged, not only writes

The pressures

What healthcare systems have to reconcile.

These tensions are structural to health technology. An honest architecture starts by naming them rather than designing around the easy case.

Clinical data spread across systems that were never designed to share

Electronic records, imaging, laboratory and scheduling systems each hold part of the patient picture. Interoperability standards exist, but adoption is uneven and much of the estate still exchanges data through flat files.

Partial HL7 and FHIR coverage across the estate
Patient identity resolved differently in each system
Point-to-point interfaces that resist change

Consent that has to be honoured, not just recorded

Consent is not a checkbox at registration. It is scoped, it is withdrawable, and it has to be enforced at every point where data is read or shared — including in downstream analytics that nobody had in mind at the time.

Consent scope not represented in the data model
Withdrawal that does not propagate downstream
Secondary use decided outside the consent record

Access control at clinical speed

Clinicians need the record in front of them without friction, and the same record must not be broadly readable across the organisation. Reconciling urgency with least privilege is an architectural problem, not a training problem.

Broad role grants used as a workaround
Break-glass access without a review path
Purpose of access not captured alongside identity

Retention and disposal over long horizons

Health records carry retention periods measured in years or decades, varying by record type and jurisdiction. Systems that never delete accumulate risk; systems that delete by ad hoc script accumulate a different one.

Retention periods differing by record class
Archived data outside the access-control model
Disposal that cannot be evidenced afterwards

What we build

Our services, applied to healthcare.

The same engineering practice we bring to any regulated enterprise, shaped by the sensitivity of the data involved.

Patient platforms and clinical integration

Patient-facing services and the integration layer beneath them — identity, appointments, records access — built against interoperability standards rather than bespoke file exchanges.

HL7 and FHIR-based interface design
Patient identity and record matching
API layers in front of existing clinical systems
Consent scope carried through every interface

Security architecture for PHI

Access models, encryption and logging designed around protected health information, so least-privilege access and full auditability are properties of the platform rather than operational discipline.

Role and purpose-based access to PHI
Encryption in transit and at rest
Read-level audit logging, not only writes
Break-glass access with mandatory review

Clinical data platforms

Data platforms where consent scope, retention class and access rules travel with the record — so analytics and reporting inherit the same constraints as the source system.

Consent and retention modelled as first-class data
De-identification pipelines for secondary use
Lineage from reported figure back to source
Retention schedules enforced by the platform

Applied AI under clinical governance

Triage support, document extraction and operational forecasting, scoped so a clinician remains the decision-maker and so every model input and output is attributable and reviewable.

Clinician-in-the-loop by design
Data minimisation before any model sees a record
Model documentation, versioning and monitoring
Clear separation from clinical decision-making

Governance context

Standards your organisation is held to.

We do not hold these certifications on your behalf. Our work is to design controls against these standards and produce the evidence your organisation needs to demonstrate them.

HIPAA safeguards

HIPAA sets administrative, physical and technical safeguards for protected health information. We architect and document those technical controls — access, audit, integrity, transmission security — so your organisation can evidence them; the compliance posture remains yours.

Consent management

Consent has scope, duration and a withdrawal path. We model it as enforceable state that every read and every downstream pipeline checks, rather than as a flag captured once at registration.

Retention schedules

Record-retention obligations vary by record type and jurisdiction. We encode those schedules into storage and archival design so retention and disposal are executed and evidenced by the platform.

Least-privilege access to PHI

Access should be granted by role and by purpose, scoped to the care relationship, and reviewed. We design the authorisation model and the review mechanics that make that workable at clinical speed.

Auditability of every access

In health data, reading a record is itself an event worth recording. We build audit logging that captures reads as well as writes, retains them appropriately, and makes them queryable when a question is asked.

Talk through a healthcare build.

Bring us the constraint — a consent model that has to hold across systems, an access review you cannot answer, an integration that will not scale. We will tell you how we would design it.
