Introduction

Our client, a US-based HealthTech company with over 15 years of experience, is a leader in digital health innovation. Their premier wearable technology platform has achieved over 5 million installs on iOS and Android devices in the United States. By leveraging wearable health data for personalized migraine management, the platform empowers users to identify triggers, act on insights, and improve their overall quality of life.

To deliver precise and real-time health insights, the company partnered with DNAMIC, a leading data solutions provider. This collaboration focused on building a scalable, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure using Databricks on AWS. The result is an AI-powered healthcare platform that transforms wearable telemetry data into actionable recommendations for migraine management.

Project Scope

The partnership aimed to achieve the following objectives:

Personalized Trigger Identification: Develop machine learning models to analyze wearable data and correlate it with user-reported triggers such as stress, sleep patterns, and activity levels.
Scalable Data Infrastructure: Create a robust pipeline to process and analyze telemetry data from thousands of wearable devices in real time.
Healthcare Optimization: Provide users with actionable recommendations to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines while improving engagement.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to data privacy and security standards, including HIPAA compliance.

The goal was to design a seamless, data-driven health platform that could scale to meet growing user demands while maintaining efficiency and security.
