Kilele Health Bracelets Case Study: Building a Cloud-First Healthcare Platform

Client Overview

Kilele Health Bracelets is a health-tech startup committed to offering virtual healthcare services to patients living with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, particularly in underserved rural areas. Starting from scratch with no existing infrastructure, the company needed a reliable, scalable, and secure platform to host their application and bring their vision to life.

To meet these requirements, Kilele Health Bracelets partnered with CloudPlexo, an AWS Advanced Partner to leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) in designing and deploying a cloud-based infrastructure. With AWS at the core, the company can focus on transforming the healthcare sector, without the constraints of traditional infrastructure.

Key Focus:

• Scalability Requirements: The application needs to support rapid growth and scale effortlessly as their user base expands.
• Cost Efficiency: As a startup, managing costs while maintaining operational excellence is a critical requirement.
• Security Concerns: The infrastructure deployment needs to meet stringent healthcare data protection and compliance requirements.

Our Approach

CloudPlexo implemented a cloud-based solution from the ground up using the following AWS services in the following areas:

1. Infrastructure Design and Deployment:
   • Compute Power: Amazon EC2 instances were set up to handle their application workloads with high availability.
   • Storage Solutions: Amazon S3 was used for secure and scalable storage of patient data and application assets.
   • Database Management: AWS Postgres RDS database was deployed for a reliable and managed database solution.
   • Networking: A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) was implemented to ensure secure communication and isolation of application resources.
2. Scalability and Performance Optimization:
   • Configured auto-scaling to adjust compute resources based on user traffic, ensuring consistent performance during peak periods.
   • Deployed Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) to distribute traffic evenly and prevent server overload.
3. Security Implementation:
   • Configured AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to enforce strict access controls.
   • Deployed AWS WAF and security groups to protect the application from cyber threats.
4. Cost Management:
   • Used AWS Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor to monitor and optimize resource usage.
   • Recommended Reserved Instances for predictable workloads, saving costs without compromising performance.

Results

• A successful launch to the AWS cloud
• Scalability: The infrastructure scales seamlessly to support their growing user base and evolving needs.
• Enhanced Security: Robust security measures ensure patient data is protected and compliance standards are met.
• Cost Efficiency: Optimized resource allocation and cost management strategies keep expenses in check.

Conclusion

With CloudPlexo’s expertise, Kilele Health Bracelets transitioned from no infrastructure to a fully operational and secure application on AWS. This transformation enables them to focus on their mission of delivering impactful healthcare services.
