Build middleware that helps healthcare apps connect to multiple EHR systems like athenahealth. Standardize API calls across different implementations.

Why now

Healthcare apps struggle with EHR integration complexity as patients use multiple portals.

Who for
Healthcare app developers
Business model
API subscription
Effort
A few months

Each EHR system has different APIs and authentication methods, forcing developers to write custom integrations.

A unified API layer that translates requests to various EHR systems (starting with athenahealth) would dramatically reduce development time.

Sell to digital health startups and clinics building patient-facing apps.

MVP could support one EHR with basic patient data endpoints.

Regulatory compliance is the major hurdle.
