Problem:
- Our client had a Microsoft based application based on traditional .NET technology (C#, ASP.NET, MSSQL, etc.) that was being used to track patients remotely
- The client wanted to move to the cloud and build a system that could scale linearly with the resources allocated
Solution:
- We used SciSpike's Conversation Engine to build a new system from scratch based on Node.js, MongoDB, Cassandra etc.
- The Conversation Engine's Actor-Based platform guarantees virtual linear scale
- The new platform supports Mobile as a Backend (MaaB)
- We developed a Cordova-based Android application that coordinates the events from the in-home devices and forwards the events to the cloud
- Developed an interactive system for patients to work with nurses and physicians including chat, messaging and multi-party video conferencing
- Developed a domain specific language for nurses to define interactions between the system and their patients
Result:
- The client now has a cloud-deployable application that is known to scale linearly in the requested range (up to millions of events per second)
- The DSL developed for the nurses provides multiple orders of magnitude better productivity
- Our client developers have been trained and have become fluent in the Conversation Engine and the technologies used by the Conversation Engine
