Ask HN: Are there software shops that only focus on health projects?

2 pointsby softwareqrafteralmost 8 years ago
Most software firms work on any project that potential clients ask them to work on. I'm interested in focussed firms that only work on projects in the health section. Is there such a niche / focussed firm out there?

I have some experience in health, but not a lot, so take this with a grain of salt.<p>I&#x27;ve never heard of a true health organization (pharma, hospital, clinic, or lab) that used proprietary software that they did not develop in house. So if you break up relationships into these categories:<p>#1: proprietary, developed in-house<p>#2: proprietary, developed by a shop<p>#3: licensed third-party<p>...then I only know of the using #1 or #3.<p>If you&#x27;re referring to public health or insurance companies, that&#x27;s a different story. This company does exclusively the former: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.standardco.de&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.standardco.de&#x2F;</a>
