PROJECT
Our client is a healthcare platform that provides a range of services designed to help patients manage their health and well-being remotely. The company focuses on offering telemedicine solutions, including virtual consultations, health monitoring, and digital prescriptions. The company needed to scale their platform and add new functionalities to improve user experience.
To achieve this, they partnered with our team to augment their development capacity, leveraging our expertise in Python development, DevOps practices, and quality assurance. Our augmented team worked closely with the client's in-house team to implement critical features, including a DocuSign integration for secure digital signatures, along with performance optimizations to ensure scalability.
GOALS
- Scalability: The existing infrastructure was not equipped to handle the growing user base and demand for real-time health data.
- Performance: Users faced slow response times, which impacted the overall user experience.
- Security: New features, including secure digital signing of health documents, needed to be integrated into the platform seamlessly.
- Quality Assurance: Ensuring the stability and quality of critical features was essential, especially for features involving sensitive patient data.
- Team Augmentation: Our client required additional resources with specialized skills to meet project deadlines and accelerate development.
SOLUTIONS
- We optimized cloud infrastructure using AWS, ensuring scalability, and automating the deployment pipeline to facilitate continuous integration and delivery.
- We optimized backend processes, improved system performance, and implemented new functionalities, such as the DocuSign feature to allow patients to sign health documents digitally.This is some text inside of a div block.
- We conducted manual and automated tests to maintain high-quality standards across the platform.
TECHNOLOGIES
- Backend: Python, Django
- Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS)
- DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Terraform
- CI/CD: GitLab CI
- Testing: Pytest
RESULTS
- The platform was successfully scaled to handle an increasing number of users, with optimized cloud resources ensuring that performance remained stable even during high traffic periods.
- System performance was enhanced, with faster response times, leading to a better user experience.
- The DocuSign feature allowed users to sign health documents securely and efficiently, improving the overall workflow.
- A comprehensive testing approach ensured that the new features met quality and security standards, protecting sensitive data.
- Our augmented team collaborated closely with the client's in-house team, under the supervision of SOFTWAVE project manager, to ensure that all milestones were achieved, keeping the project on schedule and within budget.
