About

Why we built CodeDark Health.

CodeDark Health was created by engineers and hospital technology veterans who have seen firsthand what happens when EHRs and networks go down. Our mission is simple: keep hospital operations online when core systems are offline.

Mission
Mission & focus

CodeDark Health exists to safeguard continuity of care, protect patient safety, and preserve hospital revenue during outages, cyber incidents, and planned downtime.

  • Design an offline-first platform that clinical staff can rely on in the worst-case scenario.
  • Support inpatient, ER, pharmacy, lab, L&D, EVS and billing from a single, unified system.
  • Export structured data back into EHR and billing systems with minimal reconciliation overhead.

Background
From downtime workarounds to a dedicated platform

After multiple high-profile EHR outages and ransomware events, it became clear that “paper downtime kits” were no longer enough. Hospitals needed a portable, secure, and structured way to keep recording care and services when systems fail.

CodeDark Health was designed in close conversation with clinicians, nurses, pharmacy staff, and IT teams to capture what actually happens on the floor — not just what looks good in a diagram.

Values
01
Patient safety first
Every workflow is designed to reduce risk during downtime: clear handoffs, legible audit trails, and structured records that survive outages.
02
Respect for staff time
We aim to be the easiest system in the room during an outage — quick to learn, easy to navigate, and fast to reconcile when the EHR returns.
03
Engineering for failure
CodeDark is built under the assumption that networks fail, Wi‑Fi drops, and VPNs go offline. The platform continues working when everything else does not.
Leadership
Founder
Farhad David Nosrati

David is a long‑time technology innovator with deep experience in healthcare, hospital automation, and mission‑critical systems. He has spent decades working with hospitals on label printing, patient ID, and mission‑critical middleware.

CodeDark Health brings this experience together into a single platform designed specifically for downtime operations and continuity of care.

Timeline
From concept to platform
Concept & architecture
After multiple industry‑wide cyber incidents, the concept of an offline‑first hospital operations layer is formalized.
Prototype & field testing
Early prototypes tested with real‑world inpatient, ER, EVS, and pharmacy workflows for usability and completeness.
Platform hardening
Focus on encryption, peer‑to‑peer sync, structured export, and role‑based permissions tuned for hospital environments.
Security & Compliance
Security‑first, by design
  • Data encrypted at rest on each device and in transit during sync.
  • Role‑based permissions and staff‑level access control.
  • Structured logs for audit, investigation and compliance reporting.
HIPAA‑aligned workflows Offline encryption
Who we serve
Designed for real hospital teams

CodeDark is built for CIOs, CMIOs, CNIOs, nursing leadership, pharmacy directors, lab managers, EVS managers, and revenue cycle teams who need confidence that work doesn’t stop when systems do.

We work with hospitals, health systems, and specialty centers that want to move beyond paper downtime kits to a structured, digital, offline‑capable platform.
