Practice management and patient acquisition platform for independent healthcare providers
PatientMD operates a HIPAA-compliant practice management platform focused on patient acquisition, front-office efficiency, and patient engagement for independent medical practices. The tech stack spans Android/iOS mobile, AWS/Azure infrastructure, and a Java/Scala/Python backend — with active migration from jQuery Mobile and infrastructure-as-code work underway (Terraform, Node.js adoption). The engineering-dominant hiring mix and project focus on deployment automation, uptime monitoring, and regression testing indicate an organization prioritizing platform reliability and CI/CD maturity over feature velocity.
PatientMD provides a cloud-based platform designed to help independent medical practices attract patients, streamline front-office operations, and improve profitability. The platform combines digital marketing and patient targeting with appointment booking, patient records management, and continuous patient engagement tools. Built as a mobile-first product (native Android and iOS apps) backed by AWS and Azure infrastructure, the platform serves small to mid-sized independent practices. The company is based in Chicago and operates a small, focused team with engineering at its operational core.
PatientMD uses Java, Scala, Python, and PHP for backend services; Android and iOS for mobile; AWS and Azure for infrastructure; Jenkins and Octopus Deploy for CI/CD; and HTML5, CSS, JavaScript for web interfaces. The stack includes Apache Spark for data processing and Selenium for automated testing.
Current priorities include 100% uptime monitoring for critical systems, deployment pipeline automation with Jenkins, infrastructure-as-code work with Terraform, mobile app security enhancements, and building automated testing and regression test capabilities. The company is also migrating from jQuery Mobile to modern frameworks.
