Our Story

Building a healthcare application is a complex, expensive, and time-consuming process that requires significant domain knowledge. We understand all too well how these barriers limit innovation, because we've been developing custom health IT solutions for our clients since 2004.

In 2012, we came across the FHIR standard and immediately recognized its potential to transform health IT by simplifying the healthcare software development process, cutting costs and solving real business problems. We confirmed our intuition after using FHIR successfully in various client projects, and set out to create a FHIR platform that would make it easy for healthcare organizations to build complex solutions.

We took the best of everything we've learned about health IT in the last 14 years and built Aidbox, our FHIR backend as a service. After seeing the benefits that Aidbox brings to our partners, we know that FHIR is a standard that is here to stay.

We're FHIR trailblazers who are helping to create an open, connected healthcare ecosystem that supports innovation and collaboration.

Health Samurai Code of Honor

These are the beliefs and values that continue to guide us as we grow:

Integrity

We stay true to our word and deliver on promises.

Discipline

We stick to Agile methodologies to shorten delivery cycles and increase quality and adaptability during the development process.

Commitment to Open Standards

We believe standardized health data exchange and open access to healthcare data benefits everyone. That's why we built our Aidbox backend platform with the FHIR standard to support interoperability.

Duty

As health IT experts, we believe we have a duty to share our knowledge and give to the community. We've built several open source FHIR products and will continue contributing to FHIR.

Quality over Quantity

We believe in doing things right, and are committed to delivering value.

Transformation over Tradition

We believe innovation is the key to winning the battle for a better healthcare system.
