Technology leadership from architecture to shipped product.
Headframe Consulting works with digital health and medical-technology organizations on the hard parts: connected devices, AI in clinical workflows, patient data and interoperability, and regulated software that has to ship.
Complex health-tech, minus the guesswork.
Launch and scale
Launching or scaling complex digital-health and med-tech products without losing technical control.
Align the priorities
Reconnecting product, engineering, device, data, and business priorities that have drifted apart.
Move to delivery
Turning strategy decks into accountable, shipped delivery — with a name attached to outcomes.
Apply AI with judgment
Using AI where it genuinely improves outcomes and execution, not because it's expected.
Five ways to bring in senior technology leadership.
Fractional CTO & Technology Leadership
Senior operating leadership for organizations that need clear technical direction, stronger execution, and an accountable partner across product, engineering, architecture, vendors, and growth priorities.
Connected Health & SaMD Advisory
Practical support for teams developing connected devices and regulated healthcare products, spanning product definition, software/device architecture, connectivity, delivery planning, and technical risk management.
Platform Modernization & Delivery
Assessment and execution support for legacy modernization, platform strategy, product-engineering alignment, delivery health, and scalable operating models.
AI Strategy & AI-Assisted Engineering
Identifying high-value opportunities to embed AI into products and workflows, while improving the way teams plan, build, test, and operate software.
Healthcare Interoperability & Technical Diligence
Technical and product evaluation for EHR integration, interoperability, architecture, platforms, vendors, investments, transactions, and strategic decisions.

What a headframe does.
A headframe is the structure built over a mine shaft — it's the machine that takes what's deep, heavy, and hard to reach, and lifts it to the surface where it can actually be used.
That's the whole thesis of the practice: complex technology, buried in regulation, legacy systems, and organizational depth, hoisted into something shipped.
“Build the healthcare technology your business depends on.”
Structured to match the moment, not a fixed package.
