Top 10 Healthcare Software Development Companies in 2025: A No-Nonsense Guide

The healthcare software scene is crowded. Everyone claims HIPAA compliance. Everyone says they’re “patient-centric.” But when you’re building something real—something that lives in the complex space between care, regulation, and tech—you need more than buzzwords. You need clarity. And you need a partner who knows what they’re doing.

Most rankings out there? They’re copy-paste jobs. Lists without context. Pages written to impress search engines, not help decision-makers.

This one’s different.

We live and breathe digital health. We work with startups and scaleups building the future of care. And we’re not here to be objective—we’re here to be helpful. That means sharing our honest view of who’s worth your attention in 2025—including Momentum, where we’ve helped startups launch health products with real traction, not just working code.

Here’s who we’d actually consider working with in 2025, and why. The big names, the specialists, the promising challengers—and yes, us too.

1. Accenture: The Corporate Titan

See example: Well: Transforming Swiss Healthcare | Accenture  

Let’s begin where most lists do: with scale. Accenture is one of the biggest consultancies on the planet, and they’ve got a deep healthcare and life sciences division. Think: global payers, sprawling provider networks, and complex infrastructure projects.

For these organizations, Accenture delivers. They can handle digital transformation on a massive scale. But for early-stage companies looking to move fast and validate new ideas? Their size becomes a hurdle.

Still, they earn their place here. Just not for everyone.

2. Netguru: The Design-Led Crowd-Pleaser

See example: Scalability with Webflow: Designing and Developing Polpharma API Website 

Netguru is known for its sleek UX, strong design sensibility, and a sharp team that’s expanded into healthtech with confidence. Their work spans patient apps, wellness platforms, and even some fintech-health hybrids.

If you care about experience, usability, and visual polish, they’re worth talking to. Just make sure they’re ready to go as deep as your project demands—especially if you’re building something clinically complex or compliance-heavy.

3. Momentum: For Founders Who Want to Build With Purpose

See example: How InnGen Brought Medical Testing into the Digital Age | Case Study 

We’re not neutral. We believe in what we do. And if you’re a healthtech founder trying to bring something new into the world, we think you’ll understand why we’re on this list.

At Momentum, we help startups validate, design, and launch healthcare products—fast. We understand the trade-offs, the regulations, and the reality of trying to move quickly without breaking what matters.

We challenge when it helps. We adapt when it counts. We build with the business in mind, not just the backlog.

If you need a partner who can do more than code—one who gets the big picture and still delivers the small details—we’d love to talk.

4. Andersen: Offshore, but Organized

See example: IoT-based health tracking solution 

Andersen doesn’t shout the loudest—but they’ve been quietly doing solid work across healthcare for years. They’ve built up a strong engineering backbone, with particular strengths in EHR, telehealth, and pharma tech.

They’re structured, professional, and can augment your internal team efficiently. Especially valuable if you’re balancing budgets but don’t want to compromise on delivery.

5. ScienceSoft: The Enterprise Steady Hand

See example: Development of a Physiotherapy Platform for AKLOS Health - Case Study 

Some companies specialize in speed. ScienceSoft specializes in structure.

They’ve been around for decades and bring experience in building the systems that keep healthcare running behind the scenes—clinical decision tools, lab systems, claims workflows. Not the kind of work that ends up in glossy pitch decks, but absolutely vital.

They’re not built for lean MVPs. But for enterprise-grade systems with real complexity? They’re a dependable choice.

6. Avenga: Pharma’s Favorite

See example: Automation of internal budget processes for a leading Biopharma enterprise 

Avenga operates at the intersection of healthcare and life sciences—particularly on the pharmaceutical and research side. They understand the nuance of clinical trials, regulated CRM, and medtech workflows.

They bring process maturity, global reach, and deep compliance knowledge. If your product serves pharma or large-scale healthcare orgs, they bring serious value.

For smaller teams, their size may feel like overkill. But for those who need scale and structure, they fit the bill.

7. HTD Health: Built for Health Startups

See example: Case Study of Persana's Physician-Patient Matching Platform 

HTD is one of the few on this list that works exclusively in healthcare. That focus shows—in their client list, their process, and their ability to understand both technology and care delivery.

They’ve partnered with startups across mental health, maternal care, chronic conditions, and more. If you’re early-stage and need a team that “gets” the realities of health, HTD is a good match.

We see them often. We respect their work.

8. Light IT: Lean, Smart, and Affordable

See example: Mavida Health: Mental health support for maternity | Light-it 

Light IT is a team that quietly delivers. Based in Ukraine, they bring a pragmatic, no-frills approach to healthcare software—telehealth, scheduling, wellness tracking, and more.

They may not be your strategic lead, but if you know what you need and want it built well, they’re a strong option. Great fit for budget-conscious teams with a clear roadmap.

9. Health Samurai: For the Health Data Builders

See example: Aidbox FHIR Platform for the development of Immunix for precision medicine 

Some products live and breathe interoperability. Health Samurai was built for those products.

They created Aidbox, one of the most flexible FHIR backends available. If your team is wrestling with health data standards, APIs, or complex data orchestration—this is their home turf.

They’re specialists, not generalists. But in that niche? They’re among the best.

10. Significo: Human-Centered by Design

See example: Significo: A Smart Health And Wellness Coach For A Large Insurance Company 

Significo leans into design—but with heart. They care deeply about behavior, empathy, and experience in health. If your product relies on patient engagement or behavior change, they bring valuable perspective.

They’re especially strong on front-end product experience and research-backed design. For startups building tools that people actually want to use? That matters.

They’re not the biggest team. But what they do, they do well.

Which Healthcare Software Development Company Is Right for You, Then?

That depends on what you’re building—and what kind of partner you need.

Need scale and enterprise structure? Accenture or Avenga might make sense. Looking for a specialist in data, infrastructure, or UX? Consider Health Samurai, ScienceSoft, or Significo.

But if you’re a startup founder navigating uncertainty, trying to validate fast, and build something real in healthcare? Then you need a partner who brings speed, clarity, and a deep understanding of the space.

That’s what we built Momentum for.
