AI Product Engineering for Digital Health Founders
For Founders and CTOs building digital health and healthtech products.
As a digital health founder or CTO, you are racing to prove a product in a market where compliance, EHR integration, and clinical credibility are table stakes — not afterthoughts you bolt on before a big deal. A generic dev shop will build you something that demos beautifully and then collapses the moment a hospital's security team sends their questionnaire, or when HIPAA, UK GDPR, or FHIR integration turns out to be load-bearing. That rework costs you the two things you have least of: runway and time. Speed AI Labs is an AI product engineering company expert in healthcare. We build healthtech products that are compliant and integration-ready from the first sprint, help you spend scarce engineering effort on what actually differentiates you, and give you full ownership of the code and IP that make you defensible — so you reach pilots, security reviews, and funding milestones without rebuilding later.
The challenges you face
- Building fast without accumulating compliance and security debt that later blocks enterprise deals
- Integrating with EHRs (Epic, Cerner, SystmOne, EMIS) when you have no prior healthcare plumbing or relationships
- Passing hospital and payer security reviews as a small, early-stage team without a dedicated security function
- Stretching limited runway across product, compliance, infrastructure, and go-to-market all at once
- Deciding what to build versus buy so you hit milestones without reinventing commodity infrastructure
- Maintaining clinical credibility so clinicians and buyers take the product seriously
How we help
Compliant-by-design MVPs
We build your product on a HIPAA- and UK GDPR-ready foundation — encryption, access control, audit logging, sound data handling — so it can pass security review and scale into enterprise without a costly rewrite.
EHR integration from the start
FHIR, SMART on FHIR, and middleware like Redox wired in early, so 'we integrate with Epic' is a real, demonstrable capability rather than a roadmap promise.
Build vs buy guidance
We help you build the differentiated layer — your AI, your clinical workflow, your experience — and buy the commodity, conserving runway for the parts that are actually your moat.
Flexible engagement
Fixed-cost for scoped milestones or sprint-based to move fast at a predictable weekly rate, with full code and IP ownership so your defensibility stays intact.
Pilot-ready delivery
We aim at the milestones that matter — a working pilot, a passed security review, a fundable demo — and ship in weekly increments so you can put it in front of customers and investors sooner.
What you gain
- A pilot-ready, compliant product that survives enterprise scrutiny
- Healthcare integration expertise you don't have to hire in-house yet
- Runway spent on differentiation, not reinventing plumbing
- Full ownership of your code, models, and IP for future fundraising
- Clinical credibility from a partner who knows the domain
Frequently asked questions
Can you help us pass hospital security reviews?
Yes. We build on HIPAA- and UK GDPR-ready foundations with the encryption, access control, audit logging, and documentation that health-system security questionnaires demand, so even an early-stage team can clear procurement and enterprise review.
Do you work on a startup budget?
We offer fixed-cost engagements for scoped milestones and a sprint-based model at a predictable weekly rate. Both let you focus spend on the differentiated parts of your product instead of burning runway on undifferentiated infrastructure.
Will we own the IP and code?
Always. You retain full ownership of source code, model weights, prompts, and IP, with no lock-in. That ownership is essential to your defensibility and to due diligence in future funding rounds.
Can you integrate with the EHRs our customers use?
Yes. We build FHIR and SMART on FHIR integrations for Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, SystmOne, and EMIS, and use middleware like Redox where you need to reach many systems quickly without building each one directly.
