Low-code and no-code platforms in healthcare and life sciences

We set up low-code and no-code platforms so business teams can build applications quickly, inside rules IT can support.

Low-code work is about governed citizen development: environments, data access, review steps and support once an application is in use. We set up the platform and its rules, build the first applications with your teams and train the people who will build the next ones.

Healthcare providers, insurers and life sciences companies work under patient safety obligations and strict health data rules. Clinical leaders, privacy officers and IT need to agree how data is accessed and shared before anything is configured. Applications built by business teams still handle personal and government data, so data residency, the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL and the security controls your regulator expects apply to them as to any other system.

We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

How the work is organised

From design to stable operation, with the evidence clinical governance committees, privacy offices and health regulators ask for.

  • Platform governance

    Separate environments, data policies and a review step before any application reaches production.

  • First applications

    A first set of applications built with business teams on real processes.

  • Builder enablement

    Training, templates and a support model for staff who build applications outside IT.

  • Health regulators and exchanges

    We work within the requirements of the authority that licenses you: DOH in Abu Dhabi, DHA in Dubai or MOHAP in the UAE, or the Ministry of Health, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority and the National Health Information Center in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, health insurance claims follow the Council of Health Insurance's rules through NPHIES, and public hospitals are grouped into health clusters under Health Holding. Integration with exchanges such as Malaffi, Nabidh, Riayati and NPHIES is planned where your services use them.

  • Application lifecycle

    Versioning, testing and promotion between environments, so changes made by business teams can be traced.

  • Integration and data access

    Approved connectors to core systems, with data access granted by role rather than by builder.

Checks before you start

A low-code programme is ready to start when IT and the business agree who may build, and there is a backlog of small processes waiting for an application.

  • The licensing authority and any health information exchange you report to have been identified.
  • IT and the business have agreed who may build applications and which data they may use.
  • A first list of processes to build has been drawn up with business owners.

Plan low-code and no-code platforms in healthcare and life sciences

Share your current systems, compliance themes and timeline. We will return a phased plan, a staffing model and a risk register for your stakeholders to review.
