Yes. If by “no-code” you mean platforms where the vendor itself will sign a **HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA)** and can therefore be part of a PHI-handling architecture, the strongest options I’d look at are: | Platform | BAA? | Best fit | |---|---|---| | **Caspio** | ✅ Yes | Full database-backed healthcare apps | | **Knack Health** | ✅ Yes | Healthcare-specific no-code apps/databases | | **Google AppSheet** | ✅ Yes, through Google | Internal/mobile apps, workflows | | **Quickbase** | ✅ Yes, qualified plans | Enterprise workflow/operations apps | | **Airtable** | ✅ Yes, eligible HIPAA/enterprise configuration | Flexible data + lightweight apps | | **Microsoft Power Apps** | ✅ Yes, through Microsoft BAA | Enterprise apps in Microsoft ecosystem | | **Backendless** | ✅ Yes | No-code/low-code apps with more backend control | ### My top picks **1. [Caspio](https://www.caspio.com/compliance/hipaa/) — probably the cleanest traditional no-code choice.** Caspio explicitly offers a HIPAA-compliant edition, signed BAAs, encryption, access controls and audit logging. It's particularly good if your application is fundamentally a relational database with forms, portals, workflows and dashboards. [www.caspio.com](https://www.caspio.com/compliance/hipaa/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **2. [Knack Health](https://www.knack.com/health/) — strongest healthcare-specific option.** Knack now has a dedicated healthcare product with HIPAA plans, signed BAAs, encrypted storage, role-based permissions and record-change logs. It's genuinely no-code rather than merely a compliant cloud infrastructure layer. [www.knack.com](https://www.knack.com/health/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **3. [Google AppSheet](https://about.appsheet.com/) — excellent for internal/mobile workflows.** Google explicitly says AppSheet can act as a HIPAA business associate and requires customers using PHI to sign Google's BAA before putting PHI into AppSheet. As of May 2026, AppSheet is explicitly listed among Google's HIPAA-covered Workspace functionality. [support.google.com](https://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/11917548?hl=en&utm_source=chatgpt.com)[learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-hipaa-hitech?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **4. [Quickbase](https://www.quickbase.com/) — strong enterprise choice.** Quickbase says customers processing PHI must sign a BAA and that it signs BAAs on annual or multi-year contracts. Its platform is particularly suited to operational/workflow applications. [www.quickbase.com](https://www.quickbase.com/solutions/healthcare-management-software?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **5. [Airtable](https://www.airtable.com/) — possible, but pay close attention to the plan and configuration.** Airtable has a formal HIPAA program and HIPAA-enabled services, including a Health Information Exhibit/BAA arrangement. I would not assume that an ordinary Airtable account is covered simply because Airtable advertises HIPAA support. [www.airtable.com](https://www.airtable.com/company/hipaa-airtable?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **6. [Microsoft Power Apps](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-apps) — very strong if you're already Microsoft-based.** Microsoft provides a BAA covering its in-scope services, and Power Apps/Dataverse can be used within that ecosystem. The important caveat is determining which exact Microsoft services/connectors in your application fall within the BAA's scope. [learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-hipaa-hitech?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **7. [Backendless](https://backendless.com/) — interesting for more technically sophisticated builds.** Backendless publishes a HIPAA BAA and offers substantially more backend control than typical visual app builders. [backendless.com](https://backendless.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/backendless-hipaa.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### One important distinction **“HIPAA compliant” ≠ “will sign a BAA.”** For a platform that actually receives, stores, processes or transmits PHI on your behalf, the BAA is critical. HHS specifically says a cloud service provider handling ePHI for a covered entity/business associate is itself a business associate and the parties must enter into a HIPAA-compliant BAA. [www.hhs.gov](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/health-information-technology/cloud-computing/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) That's why I **wouldn't put Bubble, Glide, Softr, Webflow, Lovable, Bolt, etc. on a PHI-handling shortlist without getting a current written BAA commitment from the vendor**. For example, Bubble's current materials discuss HIPAA/security capabilities, but that is not the same thing as confirming that Bubble will execute a BAA for your use case. [bubble.io](https://bubble.io/blog/bubble-vs-glide-comparison/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) If you're choosing a platform **for a specific healthcare app**, tell me what you're building (e.g. patient portal, intake forms, CRM, clinical workflow, scheduling, provider dashboard, AI app), and I can narrow these down to the **3 best choices and compare their BAA requirements, pricing, authentication, audit logs, data storage, and integrations**.
