We build HIPAA-grade telehealth in house, including the video layer most healthcare dev shops rent. 250+ real-time projects since 2005, 2,000,000+ dev-hours worked.
Primary care, in-hospital language access, and AI voice work already in production.

Direct Primary Care platform with a full EMR.
Read the case study →Video and phone interpretation platform on a UK national framework. 30,000+ interpreters, 75+ languages, interpreter access inside the consult instead of a separate call.
Communication platform running inside the customer's own network, used by 5,000+ businesses. The AI voice layer carries over 600 million minutes a month.
“A detailed wireframing and user stories are done in a fantastic way and timely fashion. All my requirements are taken care of, and the result is that it greatly facilitated development cost estimation and technology stack analytics. Highly recommended for all projects large and small!”

Telemedicine software development means building the clinical workflow, the video, and the compliance layer as one product: scheduling, the consult itself, the note, the prescription, the payment, and the patient record behind all of it. Fora Soft has shipped 250+ real-time video and AI products since 2005, including HIPAA telemedicine platforms in live clinical use.
Most telehealth projects come apart in one of two places. Either the video degrades the moment a patient joins from a phone on a weak connection, or the visit data never reaches the chart and clinicians go back to typing everything twice. Both are engineering problems. Both are why we write the media layer and the integration layer ourselves instead of buying them from a vendor whose roadmap is not ours.
Eight things decide whether clinicians keep using the product after month one.

Clinical video that survives a bad network. We build on WebRTC with mediasoup, LiveKit, Janus, or Pion depending on your topology, hold latency under half a second, and fall back to audio or a phone bridge over SIP when the connection will not carry video. Multi-party consults, screen share, and consented recording included.

AI notes and medical charting that write back to the chart. This is the block an AI telemedicine software developer is usually hired for. The consult is captured, transcribed with medical speech recognition, and drafted into a structured note the clinician edits and signs. Nothing is filed automatically. The draft is a draft until a human approves it, which is the only version a compliance officer will accept.

EHR integration into Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), and athenahealth. We work over HL7 v2 and FHIR, including SMART on FHIR launch, and use an aggregator like Redox or Health Gorilla when you need many systems at once instead of one deep integration. Which route is cheaper for you is a scoping question, and we answer it before we quote.
EHR and FHIR integration, in depth →
E-prescribing and lab orders wired into the visit. Surescripts for prescriptions, EPCS where controlled substances are in scope, LOINC-coded orders and results back into the patient record. The clinician finishes the consult and the order is already gone.

Booking, intake, and reminders built on the same access model as the rest of the product. Insurance eligibility over 837 and 835, payment capture, automated reminders, and AI voice booking with ID verification where you want the front desk unloaded.

Device data with a clinician queue at the end of it. We ingest readings, set thresholds with your clinical team, run anomaly detection over the stream, and route what crosses the line to a person, so nobody is watching a dashboard hoping to catch something.

Real-time interpretation and captioning inside the visit. Live speech-to-speech translation, interpreter dial-in over SIP, and captions in the call, so a patient who does not speak the clinician's language still gets seen the same day.

HIPAA handled in the architecture. We sign a BAA, encrypt in transit and at rest, build role-based access with audit logging that a HIPAA audit can read, set retention and de-identification rules with you, and keep production in your cloud. HITECH breach-notification duties, the information-blocking rules under the 21st Century Cures Act, and 42 CFR Part 2 where substance-use records are in scope. GDPR health data and PIPEDA where your users sit outside the US.
Telemedicine glossary: HIPAA, BAA, FHIR, WebRTC →Five steps. You get something you can act on at the end of each one.
One call, then structured requirements, a recommended stack, and a block-level estimate broken down by feature. Free after that first call.
You click through the product and change it before anyone writes code. Cheapest place to change your mind.
Scope, integrations, and the compliance surface written down and signed off. This is where the EHR route and the BAA chain get decided, not later.
Engineers orchestrate AI agents and review every change by hand. You get technical documentation as we go and a written status report every week.
Deployment, app store submission, and support. Demos monthly or whenever you ask for one.
Honest answer first: most clinics should buy. Read this before you brief anyone, including us.
Standard consults, standard notes, standard billing, and you can live inside someone else's roadmap
The platform covers the clinic but blocks one thing your business depends on
The product is the business: your workflow, your integrations, or your video is the thing patients pay for
We build at every level. Start with a ready platform, extend it with the features and integrations it cannot provide, or build the product from scratch — we can support all three paths. Our role is to help you choose the right architecture and then build the capabilities your business depends on, whether that means filling the gaps in an existing platform or owning the entire product stack.

One number is honest, and it is the floor. What sits above it depends entirely on what you add.
A first working version a clinic can pilot and charge for. Not a platform, and we will not describe it as one.
Each block is quoted on its own; under each one — what moves its price. Add as many as you want, drop any one without touching the rest. No tiers.

Five questions worth asking every vendor on your shortlist, including us. Open each one for our answer.
Ask whether the vendor builds the real-time media stack or integrates someone else's video service. It decides who can fix a dropped consult at 9am on a Monday, and it decides whether your per-minute cost is yours to control.
We build it. mediasoup, LiveKit, Janus, or Pion, chosen by topology, latency under half a second. This is the part most healthcare development shops rent, and it is the reason clients come to us rather than to a general healthcare integrator.
A vendor who subcontracts hands your PHI to a company you never evaluated. Ask for the list.
50 in-house engineers across development, QA, design, and analytics. No subcontracting, so the chain is one link long.
Ask who owns the repository, the prompts, the infrastructure definitions, and where production runs.
You own 100% of the IP on every project, and production runs in your cloud account rather than ours. Nothing to buy back if you move the work in house later.
Anonymous case studies with metrics and named case studies without metrics are both easy to produce. Ask for one that has both.
CirrusMED, a Direct Primary Care platform licensed in 48+ U.S. states, with the practice owner on the record. Honest limit: most of our healthcare work sits under NDA, so the public list is shorter than the real one.
A single number for the whole build hides which parts are expensive. Ask for it per block.
After one discovery call you get requirements, a recommended stack, and an estimate broken down by feature. Free, and yours whether you hire us or not.

Ask an engineerThe floor is $12,800 and about two months. That buys a working telemedicine website: accounts and permissions, paid HIPAA-grade video consultations, and medical records. Nothing else is included at that number, and every other feature is quoted as its own block.
Accounts, paid video consultations, and a patient record, on the web. Fora Soft puts that first working version at $12,800 and roughly two months, which is enough for a clinic to pilot with real clinicians and charge for visits. Scheduling, e-prescribing, EHR integration and mobile apps sit above the floor.
About two months to a pilot clinicians can actually run, four months once one EHR integration is in scope. Fora Soft has delivered 250+ real-time projects since 2005, and the schedule usually slips on your side, not ours: EHR access, BAA chains, and clinical sign-off take longer than the code.
Ask five things: who writes the video layer, who signs the BAA and how far the subcontracting chain goes, who owns the code if you leave, whether they can name a client in production with a metric, and whether the estimate is broken down per block. Fora Soft answers all five on this page, with 50 in-house engineers and no subcontractors.
Buy, if standard consults, notes and billing cover your clinic and you can live inside someone else's roadmap. Build when the workflow, the integration or the video is the product patients pay for. Fora Soft builds, and our floor is $12,800, so weigh that: we will say on the discovery call if buying is cheaper.
Yes. Fora Soft signs a business associate agreement before touching PHI, and has been building HIPAA systems since 2005. The work sits in the architecture: encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit logging a reviewer can read, retention and de-identification rules agreed with you, and production kept in your own cloud account.
Yes, over HL7 v2 and FHIR, including SMART on FHIR launch inside the EHR. When you need several systems rather than one deep integration, we go through an aggregator like Redox or Health Gorilla. Fora Soft scopes the route before quoting, because direct and aggregated integrations differ by months of work.
Features that survive a compliance review — that is the test for any AI telemedicine software developer. Fora Soft builds ambient note drafting with medical speech recognition, visit summarisation, symptom intake and routing, AI voice booking with ID verification, and anomaly detection over monitoring data, on the same stack behind 250+ shipped real-time projects. Every clinical output is a draft a clinician signs.
Wherever you decide, and we write it down before building. Options are a model provider that signs a BAA, a model in your own cloud tenancy, or an open-weight model on your hardware when nothing may leave the building. Fora Soft has kept production in the client's own cloud since 2005.
You do, 100%, on every project Fora Soft has run since 2005. Code, architecture, and documentation are yours, and production runs in your cloud account rather than ours. There is no licence to renew and nothing to buy back if you decide to move the work in house later.
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. Start with a free code audit: every issue documented and located to the file and line, with a prioritised fix roadmap. Fora Soft has 50 in-house engineers and no subcontractors, so the handover happens once rather than down a chain.
WebRTC, built rather than rented. Fora Soft works on mediasoup, LiveKit, Janus, and Pion and picks by topology and scale, holding latency under 0.5s. SIP through FreeSWITCH or Asterisk covers phone fallback and interpreter dial-in. The same stack carries 500M+ classroom minutes and 600M+ AI phone minutes a month.
