What is Healthcare Product Development?
Challenges We Solve in Healthcare Product Development
Medical advancement rarely stalls on code quality. Most products that stall hit one of four problems:
Kanda's approach answers each problem directly:
- Compliance is designed inDiscovery maps the flow of PHI and encryption; access controls and audit reports all go into sprint 1.
- Integration is scoped firstKanda Software inventories legacy systems and EHR interfaces during discovery and requests vendor sandbox access before development starts.
- Workflow fit tested earlyDesigners observe clinicians at work and put clickable prototypes in front of them before engineers write production code.
- A true MVPKanda Software scopes the smallest product that tests the riskiest assumption, builds it in 2 to 6 months, and expands it based on usage data.
Why Kanda Software for Product Engineering
Companies building a healthcare product usually weigh three ways to staff it, and each one has a real tradeoff.
As a medical product engineering partner, Kanda Software has the healthcare expertise to back this up, having worked with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Johnson & Johnson, and Astellas.
Five pillars guide healthcare product engineering at Kanda Software:
- On time and on budgetKanda Software takes full accountability for the deadlines and budget agreed at kickoff.
- Quality from day oneQA is planned and staffed into every phase of the lifecycle instead of added before release.
- Secure from the ground upSecurity is embedded throughout the system, covering everything from auth and authorization right through to data protection as part of our risk management from the very first sprint.
- Architected for scaleThe architecture is able to cope with increasing data volumes and user loads, and performance is maintained as the customer base grows.
- Adaptable to changeCode and documentation are written for the next team and the next feature, which keeps handoffs and extensions cheap.
Healthcare Product Development Services We Offer
Kanda's healthcare software product development services cover the whole product lifecycle. Clients engage for one stage or for all of them.
Product discovery and roadmap planning
A 3-to-6-week discovery phase maps users, clinical workflows, regulatory scope, and integrations, then turns them into a prioritized roadmap with an estimate.MVP development
Kanda Software builds the limited-functionality, HIPAA-ready version that tests your core assumption with real users (typically in 2-6 months).UX and product design
Product design and development run in parallel. Kanda's partnership with Bentley University's User Experience Center adds US-based UX experts, and every product gets usability testing with clinical users.Product engineering and architecture
Kanda's healthcare product engineering services start with an API-first, modular architecture and clear PHI boundaries, and new modules and integrations then fit in without a rewrite.SaaS and multi-tenant products
Kanda Software develops multi-tenant platforms with tenant isolation, per-customer configuration, and usage analytics. Dana-Farber's licensed PREMMplus platform runs on that model.Mobile health apps
Healthcare app development for iOS and Android covers patient apps, clinician tools, and condition trackers that sync readings from devices such as blood pressure monitors through Apple HealthKit and Android Health Connect.Legacy product modernization and takeover
Kanda Software re-architects aging products, migrates them to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and takes over development from another vendor without stopping releases.Integration and interoperability
Products connect to Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), athenahealth, and other EHRs through FHIR R4, SMART on FHIR, and HL7 v2, with no silos between your product and your customers' records.AI and machine learning features
Predictive analytics, clinical NLP, and image analysis each start with a 6-to-8-week proof of concept that ends in a go/no-go decision. A clinician reviews any output that affects care.AI and machine learning featuresLearn More
Who We Build Healthcare Products For
Kanda Software is a healthcare product development company and works with two types of clients. They have very different needs.
Compliance & Security
Kanda Software designs compliance into healthcare software product development from discovery onward. Healthcare regulations change, and a product has to keep passing audits years after launch.
Kanda Software builds for these regulations:
- HIPAA, which is the baseline for any US product that deals with patient data. Kanda Software will of course sign a Business Associate Agreement on every project that involves PHI.
- HITECH, which expanded HIPAA and tightened the breach notification rules.
- State privacy laws (which add on to HIPAA in states such as California).
- GDPR (which deals with consent, data access, and erasure for products with EU users).
- FDA oversight (which applies to software used for diagnosis or treatment). Device software is subject to IEC 62304.
Kanda Software builds these technical controls into every product:
Our Product Development Process
Healthcare product design and development at Kanda Software runs in six stages. The first two stages set scope and compliance before anyone writes production code.
- Discovery and compliance scoping (3 to 6 weeks)
- The team will do the user mapping, workflow mapping, regulatory classification, and integration mapping.
- The output is a roadmap with an estimate.
- Architecture and prototype
- Architects define PHI boundaries and interfaces, and clinical users test a clickable prototype.
- MVP build (2 to 6 months)
- Two-week sprints each end in working software that stakeholders review.
- Testing and validation
- QA covers functional, security, performance, interface, and usability testing, as well as validation evidence where the FDA is involved.
- Launch
- Kanda Software rolls out in stages, with monitoring and a rollback plan.
- Iteration and support
- Same team ships the roadmap, measures usage against clinical and financial outcomes, and keeps the product up to date with the regulations.
Technology Stack
Kanda's teams pick healthcare technology for each product based on fit, compliance needs, and what your team can maintain. These tools sit behind most of Kanda's healthcare software product development solutions:

Case Studies
Trapelo: scaling a precision oncology platform on AWS
Trapelo's platform assists oncologists in deciding which molecular tests to order and from which labs, then ranks treatment options by level of clinical evidence in the context of the patient's insurance policy. Under a multi-year partnership, Kanda Software built the initial features and then took on feature development, QA, defect management, and technical support. When the private cloud ran out of capacity, Kanda Software migrated the platform to AWS with full encryption, always-on audit logging, and separate development, training, QA, and support environments.
The outcome was a production platform on AWS that scales with clinical demand, plus a training environment for new oncologists, practices, labs, and payers.Trapelo: scaling a precision oncology platform on AWSRead the Case Study
Astellas: an ethics and compliance platform
Kanda Software architected, developed, and deployed a mobile- and tablet-friendly data platform that gives Astellas sales representatives location-specific ethics and compliance policies, documents, and contacts. The platform fits inside Astellas's large IT infrastructure and adds drill-down data visualization, built-in calling, and messaging.
Field representatives now find required information with less effort, and the Ethics and Compliance team sends updates straight to the field. The team also receives fewer ad hoc queries, a gain in operational efficiency.Astellas: an ethics and compliance platformRead the Case Study
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: turning a research algorithm into a licensed product
Kanda Software built the PREMMplus platform, which turns Dana-Farber's clinically validated hereditary cancer risk algorithm into two products from one codebase: a free public website and a licensed, multi-tenant platform for healthcare systems, labs, and payers. The licensed platform has per-tenant isolation, customer-specific encryption keys, and FHIR and HL7 readiness, in English and Spanish.
The public site launched in late 2025 at premm.dfci.harvard.edu and supports an NIH-funded implementation study. Each new licensed customer gets its own branded, isolated environment.Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: turning a research algorithm into a licensed productRead the Case Study
