Pulse Patient Portal
A HIPAA-compliant mobile portal featuring secure patient messaging, appointment scheduling, and automated vital monitoring.
Executive Overview
A HIPAA-compliant mobile portal featuring secure patient messaging, appointment scheduling, and automated vital monitoring.
Business Problem
A provider network struggled with patient communication and scheduling, leading to high administrative load and missed appointments.
Client Goals
Technical Challenges
Implementing end-to-end encryption for message logs and sensor reports on low-bandwidth mobile networks while ensuring fast app loads.
Solution
Built a React Native mobile application. Integrated WebCrypto APIs to encrypt message logs. Configured push notification alerts via Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Architecture Overview
Mobile client apps (iOS/Android) connect to a secure API Gateway. Node microservices route data to a PostgreSQL instance, storing patient records securely.
Core Features
Technology Stack
API Integrations
Database Design
PostgreSQL handles patient records and session tables. Relational schemas map schedules, and health records are stored in encrypted JSON schemas.
Authentication Strategy
AWS Cognito processes authentication, generating tokens that expire after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Security Considerations
Data in transit uses TLS 1.3 encryption. Patient records are encrypted at rest using AES-256 keys, and access logs are audited automatically.
Performance Optimizations
Optimizes patient records fetch payloads, caching static data on devices using secure local storage.
Testing Strategy
Verifies encryption layers and runs penetration tests to confirm HIPAA compliance.
Deployment Strategy
Mobile packages publish to App Store and Google Play, with API updates deployed to AWS ECS.
Monitoring Strategy
AWS CloudWatch monitors service status, routing security events to administrator alerts.
Business Results & Lessons
Lowered administrative load, reduced appointment cancellations, and secured patient communication.
Device-level encryption requires careful key management. Storing metadata outside message payloads keeps indexing fast.
Integrate AI symptom evaluation guides. • Deploy multi-language translation tools.
