Objective: 

 

 

 

Our client is a company that has developed a world-first portable, non-invasive, and near-instant blood test device. The device is capable of analyzing multiple biomarkers in a single test, providing doctors and patients with more accurate and timely information to support clinical decision-making. This case study focuses on the backend development of the platform and the challenges that the development team faced while building a highly scalable and secure platform.  

 

Challenge: 

 

 

The development team faced several challenges while building the backend for this platform. One of the main challenges was to ensure that the platform was highly scalable and could handle many users and requests. Since the platform was dealing with sensitive medical data, it was also essential to ensure that the platform was secure and complied with various data protection regulations. 

 

 

Solution: 

 

During the development process of the platform’s backend, the client's requirements were constantly evolving. This presented a challenge for our team, but we worked closely with the client's project manager to ensure that we stayed on track and delivered the project on time. 

 

One of the most important aspects of the project was the strict control of time tracking. We understood the importance of delivering a quality product on time, so we put a strong emphasis on keeping track of our progress and staying within the agreed-upon timeline. 

 

Despite the challenges, our team was able to successfully navigate the development process and deliver a robust and functional backend for the innovative blood test device.  

 

To address other challenges, the development team chose to use microservices architecture with Docker and Kubernetes. The microservices architecture allowed the team to break down the monolithic application into smaller, more manageable services that could be scaled independently. Docker and Kubernetes were used to manage the containers and orchestrate the services, allowing for automatic scaling and easy deployment. 

 

The team also implemented various security measures to protect the sensitive data. The platform was built using the latest security standards, and all communication between the devices and the backend was encrypted. The team also implemented multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and regular security audits to ensure that the platform was secure. 

 

We are proud to have been a part of this project and look forward to working with the client again in the future. 

 

The project took us 6 months, and the team consisted of 7 people.  

 

 

Results: 

 

The backend development of this platform was a challenging but rewarding project for the development team.  We stabilized the backend part, and added new functionality for new features.  

 

The microservices architecture and the use of Docker and Kubernetes allowed for easy scaling, while the security measures implemented ensured that the platform was secure and complied with data protection regulations. The Glenflow platform is a great example of how innovative technology can be used to revolutionize the healthcare industry.
