Challenge
The device is designed to collect heart rate indicators with the primary purpose of dynamically analyzing heart performance over a one-month period. Its objective is to detect and respond to signals indicating any abnormalities. The IT infrastructure should involve processes such as data digitization, analysis, storage, transmission, and catering to the needs of stakeholders. The main challenges were: Integration: Integrating a new module built on Microsoft's latest technology stack (.NET 7) with an existing WPF application. Migration: Necessary migration to a serverless microservice architecture. Data Management: Ensuring proper data management practices for handling large amounts of data (millions of data points). Testing: Testing the new module and the backend system based on a serverless microservice architecture to ensure that the system is reliable and performs as expected. Testing data: Testing the new subsystem, which mainly manipulates raw binary healthcare-related data.
Solution
Techstacks' team of expert technologists closely collaborated with our partner to integrate a superior module, surpassing the capabilities of the existing system. This involved integrating tables, lists, and ECG charts with millions of data points. Our goal was to streamline workflows, improve diagnostics, and handle large data volumes efficiently.
Integration of the new module
Integrating the new module, built on Microsoft's latest technology stack (.NET 7), with an existing Windows Desktop Application (WPF) required careful planning and execution. Techstack adopted an iterative integration process that ensured a smooth transition, allowing for independent development and testing of the module while maintaining the integrity of the existing system.
Data management practices for handling large amounts of data
Techstack's expertise in data management practices proved invaluable. We implemented techniques such as CQRS, data denormalization, and view data preprocessing to optimize performance and scalability. This enabled healthcare companies to efficiently manage and process large volumes of heart rate data, streamlining their operations.
Migrating to a serverless microservice architecture
To ensure the reliability and performance of the new module and the backend system based on a serverless microservice architecture, we devised a comprehensive testing strategy. Through rigorous unit testing, integration testing, and system testing, we validated the system's capabilities and ensured it met the highest quality standards.
Empowered access and analyze data
We empowered healthcare professionals to access and analyze heart rate data with ease. The increased payload information, including detailed ECG data, enhanced the accuracy of diagnoses, ultimately leading to improved patient care.
Technologies Used
While developing a scalable healthcare data integration for the beats screening module, our team leveraged a highly sophisticated technology stack designed to optimize heart rate data collection and analysis for medical devices in the healthcare industry.
