In the world of digital health, building scalable platforms isn't just about uptime and APIs — it's about navigating complex networking environments, regulatory zones, and deployment diversity. In this talk, we’ll walk through the design and delivery of a health tech platform that meets these challenges head-on.
We’ll explore:
- Real-world networking constraints in clinical and remote settings — and how to design around them
- A high-level cloud architecture that balances scalability, security, and compliance for med tech applications
- Strategies for delivering consistent software environments across varied regions and infrastructures
We’ll also touch on real-time video processing in healthcare settings — from low-latency pipelines to edge-to-cloud orchestration — and share lessons learned building systems that need to be both fast and reliable under pressure.
