Garud Labs

AI Development for Healthtech businesses in Canada

What is AI Development in Canada?

We design and ship production AI systems, not just proof-of-concept demos. For Healthtech companies in Canada, this means meeting HIPAA requirements while maintaining UTC-3.5 to UTC-8-aligned delivery.

Who needs AI Development for Healthtech?

  • Navigating HIPAA and data privacy requirements
  • Integrating with fragmented EHR/EMR systems
  • Designing for clinician workflows, not just patient apps
  • AI pilots that never reach production
  • Lack of in-house ML engineering talent
