The problem
Clinical and operational data lived in siloed systems with inconsistent formats and delayed batch exports. Research teams waited weeks for curated cohort datasets. Compliance and lineage requirements made ad-hoc reporting risky and slow. IoT device data from monitoring equipment was largely unused.
Our solution
We implemented a governed lakehouse architecture with real-time and batch ingestion, automated de-identification pipelines, lineage tracking, and self-serve analytics interfaces for approved research and operations users.
What we did
- Assessed data sources, compliance requirements, and research use cases with clinical stakeholders
- Designed a HIPAA-aligned lakehouse with encryption, access controls, and audit logging
- Built ingestion pipelines for EHR feeds, lab systems, and IoT device streams
- Implemented data quality checks, lineage metadata, and curated dataset publishing workflows
- Delivered operational dashboards and a research catalog with 200+ governed datasets
- Provided documentation, training, and a handover plan for internal data engineering staff
