AI Solutions · Medical & Enterprise · Denver

AI for medical practices, without the patient-data risk.

We build private, HIPAA-compliant AI and de-identify your data — so your practice can automate intake, documentation, and coding while patient details stay protected.

Meet Rob Howard

Colorado's leading AI engineer for enterprises and medical practices.

Founding Partner at HDC, Rob has spent twenty-plus years building software for institutions where the margin for error is slim — Harvard, MIT, The World Bank, and the Department of Defense among them. He now leads HDC's AI practice, architecting custom agents and private, compliant AI systems for large enterprises and clinical teams across Colorado and beyond.

He also founded Innovating with AI, an education company through which he teaches practical AI to 175,000+ readers and 2,000+ students — bringing that same hands-on rigor to every AI engagement.

AI built around clinical work.

Purpose-built for the workflows that fill your team's day — and the systems you already run.

01

Ambient clinical documentation

Draft visit notes from the conversation in the room, so clinicians aren't typing through appointments.

02

Intake & triage

Patient intake, symptom triage, and routing that lightens the load on your front desk.

03

Coding & prior authorization

ICD/CPT coding support and prior-auth drafting to speed reimbursement and cut down on denials.

04

Chart summarization

Condense long patient histories into the key facts a clinician needs before a visit.

05

Patient communication

Draft follow-ups, reminders, and answers — grounded in your approved materials and reviewed by your team.

06

EHR & systems integration

Plug into the systems you already run — your EHR/EMR, scheduling, and billing — so AI fits your workflow, not the other way around.

Protecting patient data

Two ways we keep patient data safe.

The patient-data question has two good answers. We help you choose — and build — the one that fits your practice.

Path A

Scrub it first

We de-identify your data, stripping PHI, so it can be used safely with best-in-class external models — the power of frontier AI, with no patient identities exposed.

Path B

Keep it in-house

On-premise, air-gapped AI. Models run entirely on servers you control — no protected health information ever touches a third-party API, so your data never leaves your walls.

  • HIPAA-aware architecture: access controls, audit trails, and data residency you control.
  • Retrieval-grounded outputs, tied to your approved sources — answers, not guesses.

For enterprises

Reliable at scale, secure by design.

Security & compliance

Solutions architected to meet your technical and regulatory demands, from access control to data residency.

ROI your leadership expects

We scope for measurable outcomes, so AI delivers real return instead of an expensive experiment.

Built to scale

Systems that hold up under production load and integrate cleanly with the platforms you already run.

Flawless communication

A U.S.-based team that hits every deadline and keeps your stakeholders informed at every step.

A fixed-fee engagement, scoped with care from day one.

Step 01

Careful scoping

Every engagement begins with a thorough discovery — mapping your operations, data, and constraints before a line of code is written.

Step 02

A fixed project fee

You get clarity on cost and timeline from day one. No surprise invoices, no runaway hours — planning and approvals stay simple.

Step 03

Precise delivery

We build, integrate, and hand off with rigor. If anything shifts, we communicate early so nothing catches your stakeholders off guard.
