Operating in the healthcare industry, Beyond Blood Diagnostics (BBD) offers a fast and accurate solution for blood cell analysis with their flagship product. With its patented technology, BBD enables users to perform Full Blood Count (FBC) tests easily and affordably, eliminating the need for traditional lab visits. Their first product is specifically designed to enhance altitude training and recovery for athletes, providing medical-grade insights into blood health using just a simple finger prick. The device tracks ten critical blood parameters, including haemoglobin, hematocrit, Hb mass, red blood cell count and volume, reticulocyte count, red blood cell distribution width, platelet count, blood volume, and plasma volume - delivering results anytime, anywhere. This user-friendly device helps individuals monitor their health and detect diseases with convenience and reliability, making medical testing more accessible for athletes, coaches, and wellness clinics.
Beyond Blood Diagnostics (BBD) wanted to enhance its healthcare solutions by creating a digital platform that could help athletes, coaches, and wellness clinics analyze, track, and interpret blood test results more effectively. Instead of relying on manual data entry and interpretation, BBD aimed to build a system that could automate calculations and provide meaningful insights based on historical data.
Key challenges included:
- Health data tracking and analysis – BBD needed a structured way to record, store, and compare red blood cell parameters over time, enabling better monitoring for athletes and healthcare professionals.
- Automated result interpretation – Instead of manual calculations, the system had to automatically process blood test results, detect trends, and generate recommendations, improving efficiency and accuracy.
- Streamlining workflows – The platform needed to simplify the process of managing test results, reducing the time and effort required for athletes, coaches, and medical professionals to access and evaluate critical health data.
By addressing these needs, the platform would streamline health data management and enhance decision-making in sports and wellness.
To ensure Beyond Blood Diagnostics (BBD) had a scalable, secure, and efficient platform, SotaTek followed DevOps best practices across the five core pillars, aligning with BBD’s needs for a robust digital healthcare solution. These practices ensured automated, seamless, and cost-effective management of the platform while meeting the growing demands of athletes, coaches, and wellness clinics.
- Secure Customer AWS Account Governance and Access
- Operational Excellence
- Security - Networking
- Reliability
- Cost Optimization
By applying these DevOps best practices, SotaTek not only addressed BBD’s immediate requirements but also laid a solid foundation for future scalability, security, and operational efficiency. This approach helped bring BBD’s vision to life by providing a web application, designed to allow athletes, coaches, and wellness clinics to track and analyze blood health data efficiently.
The platform enables users to input and monitor key blood parameters such as RBC, MCV, and RDW, while also automating calculations to provide derived health metrics and personalized insights.
To ensure scalability, security, and high performance, SotaTek implemented a modern tech stack:
- Backend: .NET
- Frontend: Angular
- Database: MySQL
- Cloud Infrastructure: AWS
- CI/CD Tools: Codepipeline, Codebuild, Codedeploy, ECR.
- Compute Services: ECS.
- Database: RDS MySQL.
- Storage: S3, EBS.
- Networking: VPC, Load Balancer.
- Logging & Monitoring: CloudWatch.
- Security tools: ACM, Secret Manager, KMS.
This solution not only streamlined health data tracking but also laid the foundation for future enhancements, allowing BBD to refine and expand its digital health platform.
With the launch of the platform, Beyond Blood Diagnostics now has a fully functional digital platform that enables athletes, coaches, and wellness clinics to track and analyze over 10 key blood health metrics, including RBC, MCV, and RDW. The system automates calculations for additional derived parameters, reducing manual effort and providing real-time insights for better decision-making.
The platform’s scalable architecture ensures smooth performance as user demand grows, while AWS infrastructure provides secure data storage and seamless access. With this foundation, BBD is well-positioned to enhance its analytics capabilities and expand its user base in the future.
