Top Healthcare Software Development Companies in Ukraine (2026)

If you’re looking for a healthcare software development company in Ukraine, you’ve probably noticed that every list says the same thing. Everyone is HIPAA-compliant, everyone does AI, everyone is “world-class”. This makes it hard to choose the right vendor.

AI in Clinics: What’s Actually Working in 2026

AI in clinics is no longer a question of “if”. In 2026, it’s a question of where to start and how not to waste the first year. That was my biggest takeaway from Digital Medicine Forum 2026 in Kyiv on September 15.

The Best Software Development Companies in Ukraine (2026)

I run an AI-powered product engineering company in Kyiv. I talk to founders every single week — the ones who got burned, the ones about to sign, the ones who have no idea what they’re doing (no shame, most first-timers don’t). So I’m going to write the guide I wish they’d read before they called me.

Lovable vs Cursor – Expert Comparison

If you spend any time in builder communities, you’ve seen the question a hundred times: “Lovable or Cursor?” People treat it like a fork in the road, as if picking the right tool is the whole game.

 

It isn’t. Because whichever one you pick, you end up in the same place — moving fast, shipping features, and quietly becoming the most senior engineer in the loop. Which is a problem, because most founders building this way aren’t engineers at all.

 

So the real question isn’t *which tool*. It’s *who’s actually in command of the code that ships?* Hold that thought — we’ll come back to it, because there’s a better answer than “you, at midnight, hoping the prototype holds.”

Hire Software Developers in India? Are you sure about that?

When it comes to outsourcing software development, India often steals the spotlight. Affordable rates, an expansive talent pool, and widespread English fluency make the idea sound like a no-brainer. But, as much as we’d all love a silver bullet for business challenges, this choice isn’t quite so black and white.

The truth? Hiring software developers in India can be great for some—but it’s not a perfect fit for everyone. And sometimes, exploring alternative destinations for talent might save more time, headaches, and midnight coffee marathons than you’d think.

Below, we’re breaking the whole topic down with a sprinkle of wit, a ton of respect, and a focus on keeping things real

AI for Mental Health: Use Cases and Product Best Practices

1:00 A.M. and No One’s Around, Except an AI Chatbot?

Picture yourself at a crossroads, overwhelmed by thoughts you can’t quite articulate. It’s late. Friends are asleep. Therapists won’t be available for hours. You’re pretty much alone with your thoughts, except the mental health app on your phone nudging you with a gentle, “Are you okay? Let’s talk.” You hesitate, because it’s not a “real” person, yet you find yourself sharing a bit. And somehow, it helps.

 

This isn’t sci-fi anymore. It’s the kind of real-world scenario where virtual assistants and chatbots trained in a way to support you, offering a safety net when psychological help is out of reach. More importantly, it’s built to be not chaotic, but a methodical, incremental shift toward more personalized, available, and data-driven care. And, for companies building mental health solutions, it’s also a chance to explore how to build a new generation of AI solutions that does that responsibly, ethically, and, let’s be honest, without spiraling into the AI overhype.

 

Healthie EHR Review, as if Healthie was a cake

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Healthie on one of our favorite projects, Zuri. We started working with Zuri about 18 months ago, and integration with Healthie was a heart of it. Here’s a detailed description of our journey.
