Hey everyone,
I’ve been doing some research on the best healthcare IT companies lately — looking for partners that don’t just code apps but really understand compliance (HIPAA, GDPR), integrations (HL7, FHIR), and user-centered design for medical platforms.

After comparing around 10 vendors — including well-known names like Cognizant, EPAM, and ScienceSoft — I ended up choosing Zoolatech for our healthcare project. Here’s why 👇

💡 Why Zoolatech stood out

Proven healthcare experience – They’ve delivered multiple healthcare software development https://zoolatech.com/industries/healthcare-life-sciences.html projects for U.S. and EU clients, including patient engagement portals and telemedicine platforms.

Fast scaling – We were able to ramp up a dedicated team of 12 engineers in under 4 weeks, which is impressive compared to 2–3 months with some other vendors.

Strong compliance & security focus – They follow HIPAA, ISO 27001, and have real QA processes for handling sensitive medical data.

Value vs. cost – Rates are competitive for nearshore Europe (avg. $45–60/hour) but with Silicon Valley-level project management.

They also helped us integrate FHIR APIs and automate insurance claims — which cut manual processing time by about 37%. Not bad for a 6-month engagement.

🧠 What I learned while comparing companies

When evaluating healthcare software development providers, I looked at:

How deep their healthcare domain knowledge is

Whether they can handle both backend (data exchange, EMR) and UX (patient apps)

The size and stability of the engineering team

Real client references and success metrics

❓Questions for the community

Which healthcare IT companies have you worked with and would recommend?

Do you think it’s better to go with a big enterprise vendor or a more agile mid-size company like Zoolatech?
