How We Help · Product Rescue

Your build is stalled.
We take it from here.

Vendor disappeared. Codebase in shambles. Compliance audit incoming. SanoWorks steps in, assesses the damage in 72 hours, and ships a compliant HealthTech product — typically within 6–9 weeks of handover.

If any of these sound familiar, you may need a rescue engagement:

⚠️

Build is 3+ months over deadline with no clear ship date

🔴

Your vendor went quiet — or handed back half-finished code

🔒

Failed a HIPAA, SOC 2, or CE Mark audit — investors are watching

💸

Burned 60%+ of budget with nothing production-ready to show

We don't rebuild from scratch.
We fix what matters and ship.

Most stalled HealthTech builds aren't unsalvageable — they're mismanaged. Scope bloat, compliance ignorance, or a vendor who underquoted and underdelivered. The underlying product vision is sound. The execution broke down.

SanoWorks begins every rescue engagement with a structured technical audit. We map the codebase, identify compliance gaps, surface the root causes of the delay, and produce a clear remediation path — before we write a single line of new code.

That audit is free. If the findings don't justify a rescue, we'll tell you. We'd rather lose the engagement than mislead a founder who's burning runway.

Start with a free audit
The 72-hour rescue audit covers:
  • Codebase quality — architecture, tech debt, undocumented logic
  • Compliance posture — HIPAA, GDPR, FHIR/HL7, regional requirements
  • Infrastructure and security — cloud config, access controls, audit logging
  • Data model integrity — PHI handling, encryption at rest and in transit
  • Test coverage and CI/CD pipeline state
  • Realistic timeline to a shippable, compliant product
  • Build-vs-refactor recommendation per module

What SanoWorks rescues

Rescue engagements span the full product delivery stack. We cover whatever is blocking your launch — compliance, integration, engineering quality, or all three.

🔐

Compliance Remediation

HIPAA technical safeguards, audit logging, BAA structuring, SOC 2 control gaps, GDPR Article 25. We fix the issues and prepare documentation for re-audit.

🔗

EHR & FHIR Integration

Stalled Epic, Cerner, or Athena integrations. FHIR R4 resource mapping, HL7 v2/v3 message parsing, CDS Hooks, and SMART on FHIR authentication.

🏗️

Architecture Rescue

Service decomposition, data model redesign, cloud infrastructure remediation on AWS or Azure, and elimination of security anti-patterns baked in by a previous team.

📱

Frontend & Mobile Rebuild

React or React Native applications with broken state management, performance regressions, or accessibility failures — shipped without discarding your design system.

Performance & Reliability

Chronic downtime, timeouts under load, or database query disasters. We instrument, profile, and fix — targeting the 99.9% uptime clinical environments demand.

🤖

AI Feature Stabilisation

LLM integrations that hallucinate, unvalidated clinical decision support, or ML pipelines with no audit trail. Stabilised and documented to IEC 62304 standards where applicable.

From handover to launch:
the rescue process

Every rescue is different — but the structure is consistent. We move fast without cutting corners, because a second compliance failure costs more than the first.

1
Days 1–3
Technical Audit & Root Cause Report

We access the repository, infrastructure, and any existing documentation. Engineers produce a written root cause report: what broke, why it broke, and what it will take to fix it. You receive this report regardless of whether you proceed with SanoWorks.

2
Days 4–7
Rescue Scope & Fixed-Price Proposal

Based on audit findings, we scope a rescue engagement with a fixed price and a committed delivery date. No retainer ambiguity. You know exactly what you are buying before signing anything.

3
Week 2
Stabilisation Sprint

We stop the bleeding first. Critical security vulnerabilities, PHI exposure risks, and broken core user flows are addressed before any new feature work begins. A stable, running product is the foundation everything else sits on.

4
Weeks 3–8
HealthSprint Delivery Cycles

Two-week sprint cycles with weekly demos and a running staging environment. Compliance documentation is produced in parallel — not retrofitted at the end. You see working software every two weeks, not status updates.

5
Weeks 8–9
Launch Readiness & Knowledge Transfer

Pre-launch checklist: penetration test results, compliance documentation package, runbook, CI/CD pipeline, and a 30-day post-launch support window. You launch with confidence — and a team you can call if anything breaks.

Know your build is in trouble.
Don't wait for the audit to fail.

The earlier we assess, the more we can save. The free audit takes 72 hours and costs you nothing — except the decision to look.

What a completed rescue
looks like

Kencor Health came to Peerbits with a remote patient monitoring platform that had stalled — fragmented integrations, HIPAA exposure, and billing logic that wasn't firing correctly. We rebuilt the critical paths, closed the compliance gaps, and shipped.

Kencor Health · US · Remote Patient Monitoring

From a broken RPM platform to category leadership — 5 years of continuous delivery

Kencor's platform had the right vision and a paying clinical customer base — but critical infrastructure was failing. SanoWorks took over the codebase, remediated HIPAA gaps, rebuilt the billing integration, and delivered a 5-year engagement that turned a stalled product into a market leader in remote patient monitoring.

What founders ask
before a rescue engagement

After a 3-day technical audit, SanoWorks can begin a structured rescue engagement within one week. Most stalled digital health products reach a shippable, compliant state within 6–9 weeks from handover — though the exact timeline depends on what the audit uncovers.
That is the most common scenario we encounter. SanoWorks specialises in distressed handovers — undocumented logic, missing tests, environments that only the previous engineer understood. Our audit maps all of it before we touch the code. You will know exactly what you inherited.
Yes. Compliance remediation is a core capability. We identify the specific control failures, implement the required technical safeguards — encryption, audit logging, access controls, BAA structures — and prepare the documentation package for your re-audit. We have done this for healthcare companies across the US, UK, and GCC.
SanoWorks engineers work across React, React Native, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET, and all major cloud platforms. We assess any stack during the audit phase and give you a clear refactor vs rebuild recommendation per module — based on commercial reality, not what is easiest for us.
Yes — no strings attached. You receive a written technical assessment regardless of whether you engage SanoWorks for the rescue. If the product is not a good fit for a rescue engagement, we will tell you and point you toward what is. We would rather lose the work than mislead a founder who is burning runway.
Every rescue engagement includes a 30-day post-launch support window — bug fixes, monitoring alerts, and direct engineer access. For ongoing development after rescue, we offer Scale engagements that transition seamlessly from the rescue team, retaining full institutional knowledge about your codebase.

Your investors won't wait.
Your patients can't.

The audit is free. The findings are yours to keep. And if there is a path to shipping your product compliantly in 6–9 weeks, we will show you exactly what it looks like.
