The HIPAA-compliant backend your Claude frontend needs

Build your frontend in Claude. Connect Knack Health for HIPAA-compliant data storage, a signed BAA, and no-code infrastructure built for healthcare.

Keep building in Claude. Go live with HIPAA compliance.

Knack Health connects directly to your Claude-built frontend as the HIPAA-compliant data layer. You keep iterating in Claude. Every form submission, patient record, and clinical note lives in Knack Health’s secure, compliant infrastructure: encrypted, audited, and covered by a signed BAA.

Your Claude frontend stays yours

Whether you built in Claude Artifacts or Claude Code, your interface stays exactly as it is. Keep iterating the way you already work. The integration sits at the data layer, not the interface layer.

PHI in compliant infrastructure

Patient data flows directly to Knack Health's HIPAA backend: encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted on AWS GovCloud and in supported U.S. regions, covered by a signed BAA. It never touches Claude's infrastructure.

No engineers required

Knack Health is a no-code platform. Manage your database, forms, workflows, and user roles through a visual interface. No SQL, no backend developers, no infrastructure decisions to make or maintain.

How Claude and Knack Health work together

Build your data schema in Knack Health

Define your tables, fields, and relationships in Knack's visual builder. This becomes the HIPAA-compliant source of truth for all patient data your app handles.

Connect Claude to Knack via MCP

Configure Knack's MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in your Claude project settings. Claude gains visibility into your Knack data schema and generates frontend components that map directly to your data model.

Build your frontend against the Knackschema

Continue building in Claude the way you already work. Claude now understands your actual data structure, generating accurate forms, tables, and UI components connected to real Knack fields.

PHI flows through Knack at runtime

When your app is live, all record operations run through Knack's runtime API: creating, reading, updating, and deleting patient data. PHI goes directly to Knack Health's compliant backend. Claude handles the interface.

Claude does not provide hosting. Sign your BAA and go live.

Claude Code generates your frontend but does not deploy or host your application. You will need a hosting provider to run your app in production. Before any real PHI enters the system, execute your BAA with Knack Health. Your data layer is live on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, with a signed agreement covering it.

What about AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud?

The major cloud providers are the right choice if you have a DevOps team and months to configure HIPAA-compliant infrastructure from scratch. For a team that built a frontend in Claude, that is the wrong trade. A custom HIPAA backend on AWS means standing up encrypted database instances, configuring CloudTrail audit logging, writing IAM policies, and managing an ongoing maintenance burden before a single patient record can legally enter the system.

Knack Health gives you the same compliance outcome: encrypted storage, audit logging, access controls, and a signed BAA, handled at the platform level. No infrastructure work required.

What healthcare teams are building with this architecture

From intake to inventory, streamline every step of care.

Every clinic, network, and lab runs on its own mix of systems. Knack Health brings them together. Customize every field, form, and workflow to match how your team actually works.

Everything your healthcare app needs —
in one platform

HIPAA-compliant infrastructure

Secure hosting, encryption in transit and at rest, and locked-on security defaults that can't be accidentally disabled.

Signed BAA included

A Business Associate Agreement is included with every Knack Health HIPAA plan, executed before PHI enters the platform.

No-code DB

Build and manage tables, fields, and relationships visually. No SQL, no backend developers, no infrastructure decisions.

500+ HIPAA-compliant integrations

Connect to the tools your team uses via Knack Flows — a no-code automation layer built with HIPAA compliance in mind.

Unlimited apps, users, and builders

One flat monthly price. No per-project compute billing, per-seat charges, or billing surprises as you scale.

HIPAA-compliant AI workflows

Build AI-powered automations via Knack Flows using self-contained, HIPAA-compliant LLMs. PHI stays inside compliant infrastructure throughout.

Audit logging and access controls

Record change logs, role-based permissions, and page-level access controls built to support HIPAA audit requirements.

MCP server support

Claude's AI builder connects to your Knack schema via Knack's MCP server — so your frontend stays in sync with your data model as it evolves.

FAQ

Does Claude need to be HIPAA compliant for this to work?

No. Because PHI flows directly between the user’s browser and Knack Health’s backend via Knack’s runtime API, Claude’s infrastructure never stores or processes patient data. The compliance boundary sits at the Knack layer, which is where the BAA applies.

No. Knack Health is the backend, the data layer where PHI is stored and managed. Your Claude-built interface stays exactly as it is. Data operations route through Knack Health’s compliant infrastructure instead of an unvetted backend.

Yes. A signed Business Associate Agreement is included with every Knack Health HIPAA plan. It must be executed before any PHI is stored in the platform.

Claude Code generates your frontend but does not host or deploy it. You will need a separate hosting provider such as Vercel or Netlify for web apps, or the Apple and Google app stores for mobile. Knack Health handles the data and compliance layer. Hosting is a separate decision that stays with you.

Most teams have the Claude + Knack Health integration configured within a day. Building out your full data schema and frontend typically takes longer so the timeline depends on your app’s complexity.

If your Claude-built prototype includes data models or records you want to carry into production, our team can help migrate your structure and data into Knack Health without rebuilding your frontend.
