Custom Healthcare SaaS & MVP Engineering
Turn your care model, operations playbook, or product idea into a production multi-tenant SaaS built to HIPAA requirements (encryption, audit logging, role-based access), delivered end to end on patterns proven in production.
Engineering Approach
Most healthcare operators don't have a software problem — they have a business-logic problem that no off-the-shelf tool understands. A care-management company tracking billable minutes across thousands of patients. A clinic network whose reporting playbook lives in one operations manager's head. A founder with a validated service model that needs to become a product before a competitor productizes it first. We take that business logic and turn it into real software: the data model, the backend, the web and mobile apps, the compliance architecture, and the cloud infrastructure — shipped as a working MVP in months, then iterated in production. This is not a dev-shop handoff where you write a spec and pray. You work directly with the Opexia team behind a production CCM/PCM operations platform that scaled a US care-management company from 3,200 to 8,000+ patients and was later re-architected into a multi-tenant SaaS. Opexia is led by founder and lead engineer Sheharyar Amin, who also designed, built, and operates MealCircle, a HIPAA-oriented nutrition-coaching platform, end to end — backend, React web app, native mobile app, and GCP infrastructure. Both systems run in production today. The same architecture patterns proven there — schema-per-tenant PostgreSQL isolation, field-level encryption of patient identifiers, role-based access control, audit logging, CPT-code-driven billing automation, CI/CD to serverless cloud — become the foundation of your product, and you own all of the IP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom healthcare saas & mvp engineering
Who is this service for?
Two kinds of buyers: healthcare operators (care-management companies, clinic groups, specialty programs) whose operation runs on spreadsheets and manual reporting and needs to become software, and healthcare founders who have validated a service model and need senior product engineering to build the actual SaaS. If you already have a large in-house engineering team, you probably don't need Opexia.
What does an MVP actually include?
A working production system your team uses daily — not a prototype. Typically: the core data model, role-based dashboards for staff and managers, the single most painful workflow automated end to end (billing, reporting, or tracking), HIPAA-grade security architecture, and cloud deployment with CI/CD. Scope is deliberately narrow so it ships in 8-12 weeks and earns trust before expanding.
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on scope, so we don't quote a generic range. Book a free 30-minute consultation: we review your requirements and workflow, then send a written scope and quote tied to what you actually need. The scope covers the data model and a phased build plan, so you can commit one phase at a time. After launch, ongoing iteration runs under a monthly engineering retainer.
Is the software HIPAA compliant?
The software is built to HIPAA requirements (encryption, audit logging, role-based access) from the first commit: encrypted PostgreSQL with field-level encryption of patient identifiers, role-based access control, comprehensive audit logging, and HIPAA-eligible cloud infrastructure. We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before any PHI access: no one on our team sees protected health information until it is executed. We provide the technical documentation your compliance officer needs. Compliance is an organizational posture, not just code — policies, training, and risk analysis stay with your organization; the engineering safeguards are what we build.
What does 'multi-tenant from day one' mean and why should I care?
It means the data architecture is designed so that other organizations could later use your platform in fully isolated environments — without a rewrite. The CCM/PCM platform in the case study started as an internal tool; because the foundations were right, it became a SaaS that partner organizations now run independently. If your product could ever serve more than one organization, this decision is far cheaper to make at the start.
Who actually does the work?
You work directly with the Opexia team, led by founder and lead engineer Sheharyar Amin, who architected and built both production systems described above. No account managers, no offshore handoff, no telephone game between you and the people writing the code.
What happens after launch?
Production software is never finished. Most engagements continue as a monthly retainer covering new features, fixes, and infrastructure — the CCM/PCM platform described above has been continuously improved for years, from a single-org tool through predictive scoring to full multi-tenancy. You can also take the codebase fully in-house at any time: you own all of it.
Can you work with our existing systems (EHR, billing, RPM)?
Yes — the platform is built around your existing core systems, not as a replacement for them. The CCM/PCM platform integrates with an external Remote Patient Monitoring system, and integration points (EHR data, claims, payment processors, messaging) are designed into the data model from the start.
