Development of a FDA and HIPAA Compliant Remote Stroke Monitoring Platform with Telemedicine Capabilities

A healthcare organization faces difficulties in extending its internal poststroke monitoring platform to other hospitals due to limited internal capabilities, regulatory compliance requirements, and the need for secure, scalable remote care solutions. There is a need to develop a compliant, scalable platform that supports real-time patient data monitoring, telemedicine communication, and comprehensive patient management to improve poststroke outcomes and facilitate broader adoption.

A healthcare technology company specializing in remote patient monitoring and telemedicine solutions aiming to enhance poststroke rehabilitation and expand services across healthcare organizations.

• Create an FDA and HIPAA compliant web platform for healthcare providers to remotely monitor poststroke patients with real-time data dashboards and management tools.
• Develop a mobile application for patients to manage their health, connect wearable devices, report symptoms, and adhere to medication and appointment schedules.
• Enable secure telemedicine features including messaging, video, and audio consultations between medical staff and patients.
• Implement robust security and compliance measures including data encryption, access controls, and audit trails to safeguard patient data.
• Support scalability to serve over 50,000 patients nationwide and adapt to monitoring other related health conditions in future expansions.

• Realtime patient data monitoring from connected medical devices
• Secure messaging, video, and audio communication channels for telemedicine
• Graphical data visualizations for health status analysis
• Patient profile management including medical history and condition details
• Patient mobile app for vital sign integration, symptom reporting, medication reminders, and emergency communication
• Care plan alerts, telehealth appointment reminders, and emergency contact access
• Community support features, gamification elements, and remote clinical assessments

• Wearable health devices and monitoring hardware
• Telecommunications for messaging and calls (e.g., Twilio SDK)
• Patient health data sources such as Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, Human API
• Imaging and clinical data viewers (DICOM Viewer)
• Cloud storage and security services
• Electronic health record systems for data exchange

• System must support scaling to over 50,000 patients with minimal latency
• High availability with 99.9% uptimes
