Healthtech · Clinical IOT Backend Platform
Lifesigns
Java-based microservices backend platform for a wearable wireless biosensor ecosystem; multi-service architecture.
The brief
Build and extend the backend for India's first wearable wireless biosensor solution — LifeSigns — covering real-time vital signs processing from ECG/EDF through to clinical alerting, early warning scoring, facility billing, and hospital system integrations for multi-facility hospital deployments.
What we built
A full-stack clinical IoT backend platform for India's first wireless wearable biosensor. The system ingests real-time multi-parameter vital signs (ECG, SpO2, BP, pulse rate, temperature) from biosensor patches into Cassandra and MongoDB time-series stores. A threshold/EWS engine computes Early Warning Scores with facility-level alert thresholds, publishing events to Kafka. An active alerts engine syncs across Nexus and UBIQUE device platforms with patient context enrichment. A billing microservice manages facility plans, device-service associations, usage tracking, and automated report dispatch. A dedicated admin portal microservice (extracted from billing) handles facility/department/user lifecycle with Keycloak IAM integration. HIMS integrations were built for Kauvery Hospital and designed for Apollo and Marengo. Supporting infrastructure includes SMS/multi-channel notifications, comprehensive clinical monitoring reports, patient onboarding/discharge/device-change workflows, CMT ambulance coordination, and EKS migration with Kafka, Prometheus observability, and Hikari pool tuning.
Platform running on EKS-PROD and Nexus-PROD serving live biosensor patients at Kauvery Hospital and additional named facilities. Active Alerts, EWS calculation, monitoring/daily/alert reports, HIMS integration (Kauvery), CMT user assignment, admin portal, billing usage, and multi-environment Kafka pipelines are all in production. Apollo and Marengo HIMS integrations are in design stage.
