Flexible and secure into the cloud.

How ITK developed a modular microservice infrastructure for a medical device.

Tasked to design modular system architecture, ITK Engineering came up with a scalable microservice infrastructure for a standards-compliant epileptic seizure detector that meets the highest security requirements. ITK also developed the web interface. It connects to the backend to furnish information and statistics on patient’s epileptic seizures to the physician. Brought on board as a development Partner, ITK Engineering took a holistic view of the overall system to support requirements and risk management from day one. The company also shared ist regulatory know-how regarding quality management and usability engineering.

Our solution:

  • Developing a REST-based interface concept to integrate backend, frontend and mobile app.
  • Building a backend based on a microservice architecture with Docker containers
  • Engineering a frontend based on Angular and featuring a modified Angular calendar component to handle the seizure log

Customer benefits:

  • Solution provides approvable and reusable microservices (user and physician interface, device management, user administration, data management, authentification gateway, notification service)
  • Highly scalable design accomodates many functions, users and large amounts of data
  • State-of-the-art security e.g. protection of patient data through authentification and encryption
  • Remarkably flexible – it adapts dynamically to changing requirements engineering scenarios
  • Modular architecture for easy maintainability and extensiblity
