The Opportunity

Problem

Solo healthtech founders struggle to integrate secure patient data APIs without risking burnout from solo development or incurring high costs from hiring specialized engineers.

Solution

MediProxy acts as a HIPAA-friendly proxy between your app and EHR APIs, handling auth, encryption, and caching automatically. Founders paste API creds, get instant secure endpoints with built-in rate limits and monitoring. No more custom auth code or compliance worries for solo builds.

Target Audience

Solo founders building healthtech startups

Differentiator

Fully-managed proxy with auto-scaling and 99.9% uptime SLA at indie prices, unlike enterprise gateways.
