H3Tech is a technology company with a bold vision to revolutionize the U.S. healthcare system through advanced technological solutions and a unique delivery model rooted in Vietnam. Rather than positioning itself as a conventional offshore vendor, H3Tech aims to be a strategic development partner for healthcare technology companies both in the U.S. and globally. This approach is driven by the belief that technology can significantly reduce costs and improve outcomes in an industry that represents nearly 20% of the U.S. economy.
Co-CEOs and Co-Founders Mikael Ohman and Michael (Mike) Gilbert recognize the challenges facing the healthcare sector. “Technology has the potential to both reduce costs and improve quality,” Mikael said. “We launched H3Tech to use high-tech solutions to make a difference to the humans in healthcare.”
Both founders have extensive experience working with global software engineering firms across the world. Their decision to launch H3Tech in Vietnam was based on their belief that the country offers some of the best software engineers and technology leadership. “Vietnam has some of the best software engineers and technology leadership in the world. When we decided to launch H3Tech, Vietnam was the obvious choice,” Mike said. He also highlighted the Vietnamese government’s investments in education and support for the technology sector.

H3Tech differentiates itself from traditional offshore models by integrating Vietnamese engineers directly into client teams. “We operate differently. Our team engages directly with the customers on strategies and planning as well as execution. Our teams are deeply embedded with the customer teams and communicate and collaborate as one team,” Mikael explained. This approach allows for faster decision-making and real-time collaboration, bringing the best perspectives and solutions to the table.
The founders believe this close collaboration fosters a sense of ownership and drives impactful solutions. “The ownership of and accountability for client outcomes and success is 100% here,” Mike said. Every team member is encouraged to treat client solutions as their own, proposing ideas and communicating openly. This culture not only accelerates professional growth but also deepens domain expertise in healthcare while strengthening communication, leadership, and technical skills.
” It provides tremendous opportunities for career advancement and development,” Mike added.
Healthcare is a data-intensive and complex industry, making it an ideal candidate for technological transformation. H3Tech is placing AI at the core of its roadmap, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve care outcomes.
In software development, team members are rigorously trained on the use of the latest AI tools to accelerate and improve delivery. Internally, the company is becoming an AI-first organization, deploying AI agents across HR, IT, Finance, and other functions. For clients, H3Tech is working with customers on designing, developing, and launching AI-based solutions inside their product and service offerings.
“AI has tremendous potential to dramatically improve healthcare,” Mikael emphasized.
Looking ahead, H3Tech’s five-year vision extends beyond being an offshore software development partner. The founders aspire to grow H3Tech into a dominant global technology organization with thousands of employees making a positive impact on hundreds of customers, millions of patients and providers, and society as a whole.
Achieving this vision hinges on “delivery excellence,” consistently producing tangible value while developing the next generation of leaders within its Vietnam team.
“Our greatest aspiration is to see our team members learn, grow, and feel proud of the tremendous positive impact they’ve had on so many people across the world,” Mike added.
