Healthcasts is a New York–based digital health company that connects verified physicians and healthcare professionals through a secure collaboration platform. Its mission is to improve patient outcomes by helping doctors share real-world cases, access clinical data, and collaborate on evidence-based decisions.
The Solution
Dualboot Partners built a cloud-native, AI-enabled analytics platform on AWS that unified Healthcasts’ data and gave every team direct, governed access to insights.
Architecture Highlights
- Data Warehouse: Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) provides a secure, Multi-AZ backbone for structured clinical data with encryption and read replicas for scale.
- ETL & Storage: EC2-based Python pipelines transform data and stage it in Amazon S3 before loading into RDS.
- Analytics & AI: Amazon QuickSight delivers sub-second dashboards powered by SPICE, while Amazon Q for Businessenables natural-language querying so non-technical users can ask questions and generate reports instantly.
- Security & Governance: AWS IAM, Secrets Manager, and VPC isolation enforce least-privilege access and HIPAA-aligned data protection.
- Monitoring & Automation: Amazon CloudWatch and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) ensure reliability and repeatable deployments.
