Scoping a Healthcare App With Compliance Built In

Product scoping and technical architecture for a HIPAA-compliant healthcare application — with regulatory requirements mapped from day one.

3-week sprint

Complete scoping with compliance

0 compliance gaps

Every feature HIPAA-mapped from start

35-page spec

Technical + compliance specification

50% faster dev

Because compliance was planned, not retrofitted

// The Challenge

What We Were Solving

A healthcare startup needed to define their product vision while ensuring every feature and data flow was HIPAA-compliant. Previous agencies had designed first and added compliance later — a costly mistake.

// Our Approach

How We Built It

01

Started with a regulatory mapping session: identified every HIPAA requirement relevant to the product

02

Designed data flows showing exactly where PHI exists, how it's encrypted, and who can access it

03

Created user stories with compliance annotations: each feature tagged with its regulatory implications

04

Built a technical architecture where HIPAA compliance is structural, not bolted on

// Key Features

What We Delivered

  • HIPAA regulatory mapping per feature
  • Data flow diagrams with PHI annotations
  • Compliance-annotated user stories
  • Security architecture design
  • EHR integration planning (FHIR/HL7)
  • Risk assessment and mitigation plan
