--- title: Healthcare Software Development for Clinics description: Custom software for clinics, medical centers and healthcare associations: patient management, electronic health records and secure handling of sensitive data. --- # Healthcare software development We build custom software for clinics, medical centers and healthcare professional associations — patient management, electronic health records and medical education platforms — with the care that health data demands. ## What healthcare needs from software today More and more Latin American countries require digital health records. In Argentina, for example, Law 27,706, passed in 2023, is rolling out a single electronic health record system across public, private and social insurance (obra social) facilities, and every institution needs software that can capture, store and share that information. Data protection laws across the region also classify health data as sensitive, such as Law 25,326 in Argentina, so who can access what, and from where, has to be designed in from day one. And because every clinic runs differently — its specialties, workflows and tests — off-the-shelf systems tend to force the operation to fit the software, when it should be the other way around. - 7.9% of Latin America's GDP goes to healthcare, and that share keeps climbing. (IDB — How countries spend their health resources (2023), https://publications.iadb.org/es/en-que-gastan-los-paises-sus-recursos-en-salud-el-caso-de-colombia) - 1 in 5 healthcare dollars, at the very least, does little to improve people's health. (IDB — How countries spend their health resources (2023), https://publications.iadb.org/es/en-que-gastan-los-paises-sus-recursos-en-salud-el-caso-de-colombia) - $6.64M is the average cost of a healthcare data breach, the highest of any industry. (IBM — Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, https://www.ibm.com/reports/data-breach) ## How we help healthcare organizations - **Custom clinic management systems**: Built around how each organization actually works: appointments, treatments, tests and in-house workflows. The organization owns the system — no license required. - **Electronic health records**: Every patient's information in one place, including data migrated from legacy systems, even when it's outdated or unstructured. - **Professional education platforms**: Course catalogs, enrollment, payments and virtual classrooms for associations and organizations that train healthcare professionals. - **Sensitive data, handled right**: Users, roles and per-profile permissions, plus security practices designed to comply with data protection regulations. ## What we've built for this industry - [Fertygen](https://www.tupaca.com/en/success-stories/fertygen): We built Fertygen's management system from scratch: software that runs the fertility clinic end to end and keeps each patient's full medical history in one place, developed faster with AI tools. - [IDHS](https://www.tupaca.com/en/success-stories/idhs): We built IDHS's course and training platform from scratch for the education institute of the Municipal Physicians Association of Buenos Aires: course catalog, enrollment, payments and online teaching, all in one place. - [Punto Clínico](https://www.tupaca.com/en/success-stories/punto-clinico): We ran product discovery for Punto Clínico, a practice management platform for specialty clinics in Mexico, to define how to rebuild it on a modern stack with AI. ## Frequently asked questions **What kind of software do you build for healthcare?** Custom clinical management systems built around each institution's appointments, treatments, tests and workflows; electronic health records; and training platforms for healthcare professional associations. **How do you protect patient data?** Health data is sensitive data under Argentina's Personal Data Protection Law (25.326), so access is defined from the design stage, with users, roles and per-profile permissions, and security practices built to meet data protection requirements. **Can you migrate data from our old system?** Yes. It's part of building the electronic health record: we bring over data from previous systems, even in legacy or unstructured formats, so each patient's information lives in one place. **Do you have healthcare experience?** Yes. We built the management system for Fertygen, a fertility clinic, from scratch, and the course platform for IDHS, the training institute of the Buenos Aires Municipal Physicians' Association. We also ran product discovery for Punto Clínico, a practice management platform for specialty clinics in Mexico. ## Testimonials > I can't recommend Tupaca enough.
