A LOOK INSIDE

HIPAA compliance for wellness apps, broken down line by line.

Each item gives you the question, what compliant looks like, and the most common failure mode. No jargon, no boilerplate. A founder can score themselves green, amber, or red in under 60 seconds.

The reds become your roadmap. The ambers tell you where to dig deeper.

  • 47 numbered checklist items, organized by bucket
  • 6 cross-cutting items on breach notification & incident response
  • A simple scoring guide tied to where you stand
  • Print-friendly. Founders mark this up.
SAMPLE ITEM
Bucket 03 · Technical Safeguards
Technical Safeguards
The engineering layer. Where most product teams focus, sometimes at the expense of the other four buckets.
3.2
Is multi-factor authentication enforced on every system that touches patient data?
Compliant looks like
SSO + MFA across the identity provider, with no MFA exemptions for legacy systems.
Common failure
MFA on the production database but not on the support tool that can pull patient records.
3.9
Is patient data encrypted at rest, in every place it lives?
Compliant looks like
Database encryption, encrypted backups, encrypted file storage, encrypted logs.
Common failure
Production database encrypted, but a CSV export sitting in a developer's S3 bucket is not.

WHO IT'S FOR

Non-technical founders

Heads of Product

You’re the one translating between clinical, engineering, and legal. The checklist gives you a shared vocabulary across all three.

Operators & clinical co-founders

You know what good care looks like. The checklist covers what good security infrastructure looks like underneath it.
