Direct Experience. Personal Accountability.

Expertise Built on Rigor

For over 25 years, we have worked at the intersection of complex clinical data engineering, rigorous data privacy, and organizational strategy. Terry Virdell leads the firm as Principal Healthcare Architect and technical advisor—maintaining a track record of zero critical defects introduced into production over the last fifteen years.

Your Data Health partners with mid-market health systems and Series A–C digital health startups to navigate HTI-1, USCDI v3/v4, and MHMDA risk. We deliver technical validation, architecture checkpoints, and fixed-fee compliance coaching so lean teams meet interoperability mandates ahead of critical deadlines.

We believe rapid AI innovation must not come at the expense of patient privacy. Our practice applies Privacy by Design and Zero Trust patterns in every pipeline we steward (with team members pursuing CIPT certification). We rely on autonomous LLM agents, Python, and synthetic data workflows to rigorously validate models—without exposing protected health information.

Beyond architecture, leadership runs deep. From directing thirty-plus-person engineering departments at Providence St. Joseph Health to scaling startups from the ground up, we scale this consultancy with productized regulatory fluency—including participation in the April 2026 Founder Institute cohort—to coach healthcare teams effectively.
