Project Overview & Approach
This project focused on developing a comprehensive data analytics platform for a global healthcare provider, enabling them to leverage data to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
We followed a structured approach:
- Data Assessment: Identification of key data sources and data quality assessment
- Platform Architecture: Design of a scalable data lake and analytics pipeline
- Data Integration: Implementation of ETL processes to consolidate data
- Analytics Development: Creation of dashboards and predictive models
- Security Implementation: Ensuring data privacy and compliance
- User Training: Training healthcare professionals on platform usage
- Continuous Improvement: Ongoing monitoring and optimization
The project was completed over eight months, with close collaboration with the client’s data science and clinical teams.
Technical Implementation
The solution architecture leveraged AWS as the primary cloud provider, implementing a range of services and technologies:
- Data Lake: S3 for scalable data storage
- Data Processing: Spark and Hadoop for large-scale data processing
- Data Warehousing: Redshift for data warehousing and reporting
- Machine Learning: SageMaker for building and deploying predictive models
- Visualization: Tableau for interactive dashboards and reports
- Security: IAM, KMS, and CloudTrail for enhanced security controls
- Automation: CloudFormation for infrastructure as code
- Monitoring: CloudWatch for monitoring and alerting
We implemented robust data governance policies to ensure data quality and compliance with healthcare regulations.
