Secure and Scalable Cloud Platform for IoT-Connected Telehealth Monitoring System

An innovative healthcare organization needs a proven, secure, and scalable cloud platform to develop a SaaS system integrated with a network of Internet of Things devices deployed in patients' homes. The system must monitor critical health activities of elderly or chronically ill patients remotely. Key challenges include ensuring high availability, compliance with healthcare regulations, ease of system modification by nontechnical staff, and seamless integration with external logistics, billing, and data systems.

A mid to large-sized healthcare technology provider offering remote patient monitoring solutions that require secure, compliant, and easily adaptable cloud infrastructure.

• Implement a secure, compliant, and scalable cloud platform capable of supporting large volumes of IoT device data and user interactions.
• Achieve high system availability and security standards matching healthcare regulatory requirements from day one.
• Enable easy configuration, modification, and monitoring logic adjustments by nontechnical healthcare administrators.
• Establish automated integrations with external delivery, logistics, billing, and third-party data providers to streamline operations.
• Deliver a flexible, extendable system that supports rapid deployment of new functionalities and integrations.
• Ensure the platform supports a pay-per-use billing model to optimize cost-efficiency.
• Facilitate real-time reporting, status updates, and device management through custom web interfaces.

• A centralized data repository and database system for all device metrics and user data.
• Workflow automation for managing sales, order processing, device deployment, and system alerts.
• Custom web portals for monitoring device status, generating reports, and managing user accounts.
• Development of custom web services for external logistics, billing, and data system integrations.
• Real-time dashboards for status tracking and alerts.
• Role-based access control ensuring security and compliance.
• Configurations allowing product owners and analysts to modify monitoring and business logic without developer intervention.

• Logistics and delivery systems for device deployment tracking
• Accounting and billing systems for automatic invoicing
• Third-party healthcare data and monitoring services
