Healthcare Software Development From Empiric Infotech LLP

Empiric Infotech LLP is a remote healthcare software development company working with Australian clinics, digital-health startups and health SaaS teams: one dedicated developer, or a small dedicated team, full-time and exclusive, in your GitHub or GitLab org and your AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2) or Azure Australia account. We have shipped eight health and healthcare products, including one for a New Zealand client, and two HIPAA-compliant clinical platforms for North American clients. For an Australian build the governing regimes are the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles, with the My Health Records Act on top if you connect to My Health Record, and the same engineering discipline applies: consent modelled explicitly, an audit trail that answers who read what, and data kept onshore where your policy requires it. The engagement is AUD $3,000 per month per developer with a 7-day risk-free trial, and your developer overlaps your afternoon.

What a healthcare software development engagement delivers

A running health product in your cloud account, a developer who keeps shipping it, and a senior lead who reviews and tests every release. Not a compliance certificate, and not a slide deck.

Patient and clinician-facing products

Patient apps, clinician dashboards, intake and triage flows, care-plan tracking, appointment and telehealth surfaces, and the back-office that keeps them fed. Built for the two very different users a health product always has: the patient who opens it once a week, and the clinician who lives in it all day and will abandon anything that costs them a click.

A data model that survives an audit

PHI separated from operational data, field-level encryption where it belongs, an append-only audit trail of who read and wrote what, retention and deletion rules that are code rather than policy documents, and role-based access that a compliance reviewer can actually read. This is the part that is expensive to retrofit and cheap to get right at the start.

Built to your compliance requirements

We have built HIPAA-compliant platforms (EndoDNA and TherapyCue are both live). We build to the regime you operate under, whether that is HIPAA, GDPR, or your own internal security policy, and we work inside your BAA and your DPA. The certification and the regulatory relationship stay yours: we are your engineering team, not your compliance authority, and we will tell you plainly when something needs a specialist we are not.

Integrations with the systems clinicians already use

HL7 v2 and FHIR interfaces, EHR and practice-management integrations, lab and diagnostics feeds, e-prescribing and pharmacy links, wearables and device data through Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect, and payment and claims where the product needs them. Health products rarely fail on the feature list; they fail on the seam between systems.

AI where it earns its place

Real-time transcription, clinical note generation, retrieval over patient history, triage assistance and health assistants, built with an explicit human-in-the-loop boundary and an audit trail on every model call. TherapyCue does exactly this in production. We will also tell you when the honest answer is that a model should not be in that decision path at all.

Your code in your repo, your app in your cloud

We work inside your GitHub or GitLab org and your cloud account from day one, on whichever region your data residency rules demand. The code, the infrastructure, the data and the audit logs are yours throughout. There is nothing to claw back at the end and no vendor lock to negotiate out of.

How we scope a healthcare software engagement

Health builds go wrong in the first fortnight, when someone decides the compliance work can be added later. We front-load it instead.

1

1. What the product does, and to whom

A scoping call on your hours: who the users are, what clinical or wellness job the product does, whether it touches PHI at all, and where the regulatory line sits. Plenty of health and wellness products never touch protected data, and knowing that on day one saves months of unnecessary engineering.

2

2. The data and compliance boundary

Before any feature work: what data you hold, where it may live, who may read it, how long you keep it, and what your auditor will ask for. This produces the data model, the access-control design and the audit-log design, and it is the single decision that most determines what the product costs to change in year two.

3

3. A written scope, team proposal and flat price

Within 24 hours: the scope, the stack, the integration surface, who is on the team, and a flat monthly price per developer. No estimate ranges that quietly become change orders later.

4

4. A 7-day risk-free trial

Your developer starts within 48 hours on an agreed first deliverable. Day 7 is a real decision point, with a full refund if it is not a fit and a no-cost developer swap inside that window.

Healthcare software development for Australian teams from AUD $3,000 per month

One dedicated developer is AUD $3,000 per month for 160-172 hours of full-time, exclusive work in your repo and your AWS Sydney or Azure Australia account, with a senior lead reviewing and testing every release. Billed monthly in AUD, no setup fee and no recruitment fee. No Fair Work obligations, superannuation or payroll tax, because the developer is not your employee.

Talk to us
Most health builds start with one dedicated developer and stay there. EndoDNA and TherapyCue were each built by a single Empiric developer. When a build needs more hands you add a developer at the same flat AUD $3,000 per month, in 48 hours, with no re-contracting, and a senior team lead reviews and tests every delivery.

What the first 90 days of a healthcare engagement look like

A dedicated engagement is a rolling thing, not a Gantt chart. This is the usual shape of the first three months on a health product.

  1. Week 1

    Onboarding and the data boundary

    Repo and cloud access, a working local environment, and the first pull request reviewed and merged. In parallel, the PHI boundary decision: what is protected data, where it lives, and who can reach it. Day 7 is the decision point on the trial.

  2. Month 1

    The clinical core, in production

    The primary flow live behind real authentication, with role-based access, the audit trail writing from the first commit rather than bolted on in month four, and CI green. By the end of month one there is a product a clinician can log into and a data model your compliance reviewer can read.

  3. Month 2

    Integrations and the second user

    The seams: FHIR or HL7 where you need them, EHR or practice-management integration, lab or device feeds, and the back-office surface. This is also where the clinician-side UI gets its first real workflow pass, because the patient app and the clinical tool are two products wearing one name.

  4. Month 3

    Hardening, then ahead of the roadmap

    A security pass on the obvious surfaces, access-control review, penetration-test remediation if you are running one, performance under real data volume, and a real release. From here the developer is ahead of your backlog rather than behind it.

Why Australian health teams pick a dedicated team over a healthcare software agency

The expensive part of an Australian health product is not the first release. It is month eight, when a practice asks who accessed a particular record on a particular date, or when your Privacy Act obligations meet an audit log that was never designed to answer the question. A fixed-price Australian health agency build of a comparable platform typically runs AUD $120,000 to AUD $400,000 before the first change order.

A fully loaded Australian senior engineer runs roughly AUD $14,000 to AUD $19,000 a month once you add superannuation, payroll tax and equipment, and takes three to five months to hire. A dedicated Empiric developer is AUD $3,000 a month for 160-172 hours of full-time exclusive work, overlapping your afternoon, with no Fair Work obligations, superannuation or payroll tax because the developer is not your employee.

We have shipped eight health and healthcare products, including DRT for a New Zealand client, and two HIPAA-compliant clinical platforms for North American clients. What we do not do is sell a compliance certification or claim we can put a device through TGA clearance. We build to the Privacy Act, the Australian Privacy Principles and the My Health Records Act where it applies, and leave the regulatory relationship with you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We build to the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles: consent modelled explicitly, an audit trail that answers who read and wrote what, retention and deletion as code rather than policy, and data kept onshore in AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2) or Azure Australia where your policy requires it. If you connect to My Health Record, the My Health Records Act adds its own conformance requirements on top, and that is a process you own with the Australian Digital Health Agency. We build the software to it and work alongside whoever is running it.

No, and be wary of a development vendor who says yes. If your product is regulated as a medical device by the TGA, inclusion on the ARTG is a regulatory process you own, usually with a specialist consultant. What we do is build the software to the design controls, documentation and traceability your pathway requires. We will tell you early if we think your product crosses that line.

No, and you should be wary of a development vendor who says yes. If your product is regulated as a medical device, clearance is a regulatory process that you own, usually with a specialist consultant. What we do is build the software to the design controls, documentation and traceability your regulatory pathway requires, and work alongside whoever is running it. We will tell you early if we think your product crosses that line.

Yes. FHIR and HL7 v2 interfaces, EHR and practice-management integrations, lab and diagnostics feeds, e-prescribing links, and device or wearable data through Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect. Integration is usually where a health build gets expensive, so we scope the seam explicitly before feature work rather than discovering it in month three.

One dedicated developer for 160-172 hours a month, full-time and exclusive to you, working in your GitHub or GitLab org and your cloud account, with a senior team lead reviewing and testing every delivery, billed monthly, with a 7-day risk-free trial. Add a developer, or a designer for clinical-UI work, at the same flat AUD $3,000 per month each.

Yes, and it is often a much simpler build. Several of our health products, including Nutrinova, My Ayur, Laughly and DRT, are wellness rather than clinical, and most never touch protected health data at all. Establishing that on day one is worth doing, because a wellness product engineered as though it were a clinical one costs more and ships slower for no benefit.

You do. Your GitHub or GitLab org, your cloud account, your domain, your data, from day one. We work inside your accounts rather than ours, so there is nothing to transfer at the end and nothing held hostage in a dispute.

Within 48 hours of sign-off: a scoping call, a written scope and team proposal, then onboarding on day one. The first 7 days are a risk-free trial with a full refund if it is not a fit and a no-cost developer swap inside that window. After that it is monthly billing with 7 days notice to stop, no auto-renewal and no minimum term.
