Your startup’s CTO and senior engineering team, on one monthly subscription.
We lead your technology, build your product and back you up with investors, using a senior team that works with the latest AI tools. From €3,990 a month in Europe, £3,800 in the UK and $5,600 in the US, with no equity, and work starts within two weeks.
One contract, one accountable technical lead, and the specialists your product needs each month.
A named Fractional CTO
Owns your technical strategy, architecture and roadmap, turns your priorities into sprint plans and runs delivery. Can be named as your CTO in your deck and join investor meetings.
A senior team on demand
AI and ML, backend, frontend and mobile, DevOps and MLOps, data, QA and UX specialists. Your CTO brings in the right person for each piece of work, across your package’s parallel workstreams.
You keep the product calls
Your side needs one product owner, often a founder, who decides what gets built next and accepts finished work. The rest is on us.
What slows hospital digital transformation down – and how we solve it
From disconnected systems to coordinated care journeys
-
Many hospitals still run patient access, documentation, scheduling, and discharge across disconnected tools and teams. We automate the entire flow – from raw files to analysis-ready datasets
Reducing manual coordination across clinical operations
-
Operational teams lose time to handoffs, duplicated data entry, and workaround-heavy processes. We digitize core workflows so staff can spend less time coordinating systems and more time supporting patients.
Making EPR / EHR data usable across real workflows
-
Having records is not the same as having usable, connected data. We integrate EPR/EHR environments with surrounding hospital workflows so information can move where care decisions actually happen.
Improving patient access without increasing admin burden
-
Patient communication, admissions, document collection, and discharge often create avoidable friction for both staff and patients. We build digital patient journeys that reduce bottlenecks while improving visibility and responsiveness.
Scaling securely in regulated environments
-
Hospitals need digital systems that support interoperability and operational speed without compromising security or governance. We design secure architectures, role-based access models, and implementation paths that fit healthcare constraints.
Driving modernization through measurable pilots
-
Large transformation programs often stall because they are too broad, too risky, or too hard to procure. We structure focused pilots around one workflow, one department, or one operational bottleneck to prove value before scale.

AI & Custom Software Development For Surgical Center
Academic medical center focused on critical care, research, and medical training.
Blackthorn.ai is great at adapting to our needs; it’s not easy to work with us as a critical infrastructure provider because we have many restrictions that make it difficult to work with data since it has to be secured.
