Solo Practice Tech Stacks
Curated tool combinations for solo practitioners. Every tool listed here has been personally tested. No hypothetical recommendations.
The Minimalist Stack $500/mo
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
The leanest possible tech stack for a solo practice that doesn't want to think about technology more than necessary. Hero EMR handles the heavy lifting, and a handful of cheap or free tools fill the gaps.
If a tool doesn't save you at least 2x its cost in time or money, cut it. This stack optimizes for the fewest possible logins, the lowest possible monthly burn, and the most possible hours spent actually practicing medicine.

The Power User Stack $1200/mo
For the solo doc who wants every advantage.
Everything in the Minimalist Stack, plus additional tools for analytics, marketing, workflow automation, and redundancy. This is the stack for someone who sees technology as a competitive advantage, not just a necessary expense.
Spend where it creates leverage. Every additional tool in this stack either generates revenue, saves significant time, or provides redundancy that prevents catastrophic downtime. If it doesn't do one of those three things, it doesn't belong here.
