About AST

We build the software that healthcare runs on.

AST is a global software engineering and consultancy firm. For 17 years we've gone deepest in healthcare — the EMR/EHR systems, integrations and compliant platforms that run inside real care networks — engineered to a standard the whole enterprise inherits.

What drives us

The three things this company is built on.

Strip away the services and the certifications and you are left with a mission, a set of values and the people who hold to them.

1

Make healthcare software as dependable as the infrastructure it runs on — built for real clinical workflows and owned end to end.

See what we build Our mission
2

Healthcare-only, owned in-house, compliant by design, and honest about trade-offs — the standard every line of code is held to.

What sets us apart Our values
3

Engineers who go deep in healthcare — they have shipped clinical software, read a HIPAA rule and debugged an HL7 feed at 2am.

Who we work with Our people
Where we go deep

Deep engineering, with healthcare in the bones.

These are the disciplines our engineers have shipped in production. The same craft powers the enterprise software we build elsewhere — in healthcare, we simply go furthest.

EMR / EHR platforms

Full-cycle clinical record systems — charting, orders, e-prescribing and RCM.

HL7 v2 & FHIR R4

Certified interfaces to Epic, Cerner, PointClickCare and athenahealth, built in-house.

Revenue cycle

Eligibility, charge capture, claims, denials and analytics, wired into the EHR.

Clinical mobile

Native and cross-platform apps, offline-capable and HIPAA-secure on the device.

AI clinical documentation

Ambient capture, clinical NLP and FHIR write-back — drafted by AI, signed by clinicians.

Cloud security & DevSecOps

Defense-in-depth for PHI on HIPAA-eligible AWS, Azure and GCP.

HIPAA · SOC 2 · HITRUST

Compliance architected in from day one and supported through audit.

Post-acute & specialty

SNF, home health, therapy and hospice — MDS, OASIS and PDPM-aware.

Why AST

Where we genuinely excel.

Deep knowledge of the healthcare system

We don't translate healthcare for engineers — our engineers already speak it. Clinical workflows, payer logic, regulatory rules and the realities of a live care setting are the water we swim in.

A proven approach

Discovery-first, owned end to end, compliant by design. We scope honestly, ship in working increments, and hand back clean, documented systems — never a black box.

Global experience in the US health market

Seventeen years inside US care networks — Epic and Cerner estates, CMS and OCR rules, clearinghouses and payers. We've met your edge cases long before they reach you.

Efficiency that compounds

Senior teams ramp fast and rework less, and our reusable interface and compliance accelerators cut months off delivery. You pay for results, not for us learning your domain.

Recognition & partnerships

Certified, audited and built on the platforms care teams run.

Our history

Seventeen years, one focus.

  1. 2008

    Founded

    AST starts with a single conviction: engineer software like infrastructure — and go deepest where it matters most, in healthcare.

  2. 2013

    Interoperability practice

    HL7 v2 and, later, FHIR R4 interface engineering becomes a core discipline — built and certified in-house.

  3. 2017

    Compliance by design

    HIPAA, SOC 2 and HITRUST architecture move from afterthought to the first thing we design.

  4. 2020

    Global delivery

    Teams across the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Pakistan deliver to one standard, fully owned end to end.

  5. 2023

    Into the Gulf

    DHA / NABIDH-compliant platforms for UAE operators, with in-country data residency.

  6. 2025

    The AI layer

    Ambient AI clinical documentation and regulatory intelligence join the platform — drafted by AI, signed by clinicians.

Seventeen years. One focus.
