Custom MVP Backend, Launched Clinical Trial
Prolaio looks to pump new life into healthcare for patients, clinicians and researchers.
The goal
Prolaio is a healthcare startup that seeks to improve the sharing, processing and diagnostic analysis of cardiovascular data and to enhance the experience across the ecosystem for patients, clinicians and researchers. To achieve its mission, Prolaio needed a clinical prescriptive analytics platform that could manage a large repository of clinical cardiovascular data.
The challenge
Prolaio needed technical guidance to build the backend and data plane for its clinical data platform. Additionally, the company aimed to establish a scalable data science environment. It needed DevOps and engineering expertise to deploy the data science environment on AWS within a tight timeframe, as it intended to conduct multiple clinical trials in the near future.
The solution
Loka’s DevOps team stepped in with a comprehensive solution, leveraging AWS toolsets such as AWS CodePipeline and AWS ECR to establish a release pipeline, connect a source repository and automate code deployments.
To connect the source repository to the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, Loka’s DevOps team utilized GitHub, committing all IaC, Dockerfile and other relevant code throughout the software delivery process. This strategy promoted optimal process efficiency, as pushing code commits to the GitHub repository enabled continuous code collaboration, with visibility across the entire DevOps team.
Loka engaged its cross-functional, agile team of DevOps engineers, data engineers, backend engineers, project managers and solution architects to work on Prolaio’s DevOps project. Leveraging a tech stack that included Amazon Redshift, Amazon Timestream, Amazon Dynamo, Amazon Glue, Amazon Glue Databrew, Amazon Lambda and CDK for IaC, Loka designed and implemented a backend integration with Prolaio's existing electronic health-record systems, personal health devices, normalized data plane and a data science environment.
What we delivered
Loka used AWS CodePipeline to deploy the infrastructure CDK for development, staging and production code. The team automated all infrastructure as code deployments, eliminating the possibility of human error. They also leveraged GitHub Actions CI/CD platform to build and push Docker images to AWS ECR and update an ECS cluster.
Loka delivered a custom-designed MVP backend and data plane environment within an agile framework in under two months. Loka's development effort increased process efficiencies within the CI/CD pipeline.
The results
With the implementation of Loka's automated infrastructure and the custom-designed MVP backend, Prolaio can now reliably deploy and manage their development, staging and production code with minimized risk of human error. This leads to enhanced process efficiencies within their CI/CD pipeline and a more agile development framework.
improvement in efficiency of the CI/CD pipeline
On-time clinical trial
Our tech boost enabled Prolaio to launch its first clinical trial in October 2022. Without Loka's assistance and strategic approach, the clinical trial's delivery timeline could have been extended by years.
Massive efficiency upgrade
Utilizing AWS CodePipeline, AWS ECR, and GitHub, Loka's development effort improved the efficiency of the CI/CD pipeline by around 30-50%.
Poised for second clinical trial
Boosted by Loka's infrastructural and data innovations, Prolaio is set to initiate its second clinical trial in Q3 2023, marking significant progress in their digital transformation and business growth, with Loka continually enhancing their AWS solution.
