Howdy -

We think of ourselves as Parse for healthcare sites/apps/devices.

One can absolutely build their own Parse to power their own stack, but it may not be time/resource effective. Behind the scene, among other things, we provide unique object encryption and automatic object re-key and re-encryption -- mechanisms one would have to be custom build for a homegrown HIPAA environment (event on AWS).

We make sure the Protected Health Information our customers collect is always in compliance with HIPAA despite the ever changing healthcare regulatory landscape.

But you are absolutely right. We do not absolve the developers/covered entities from all HIPPA liabilities and responsibilities. We just take care of one aspect of HIPAA so they can focus on other things.
