Transforming Post-Surgical Recovery Monitoring with a Secure, Intelligent Virtual Care Platform

Industry: Healthcare & Medical Device Monitoring

Region: North America

Engagement: End-to-end design and development of a cloud-based patient monitoring and virtual consultation platform for post-surgical drain management.

Technology Stack Overview

Frontend: ReactJS (Progressive Web App with dark mode support)

Backend: Python (Django REST Framework)

Database: PostgreSQL

Cloud Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, S3, RDS)

Integrations: Zoom iframe for virtual visits, Stripe for subscription and transaction management, Google Calendar API for scheduling

Security: Role-based authentication, HIPAA-compliant data encryption

APIs: REST APIs for patient monitoring, notifications, analytics, and teleconsultation

Challenge

Post-surgical drain management is a critical part of patient recovery, but healthcare providers face significant challenges in coordinating care between patients, coordinators, and physicians:

• Fragmented workflows for drain tracking and patient follow-ups

• Manual data collection leading to inconsistent reporting and delayed interventions

• Limited visibility into patient conditions for remote care providers

• Lack of integrated tools for scheduling, virtual consultations, and payment management

  
  

The objective was to design a digital care coordination system that connects patients, coordinators, and providers through a single, data-driven platform for real-time tracking and virtual care.

Solution

A robust Med Drain Care (MDC) platform was developed with a modular architecture that supports multiple user roles - Admin, Patient, Coordinator, and Provider - enabling seamless collaboration and remote care delivery.

Key Functional Modules

1. Patient Dashboard

   • Complete redesign of UI to improve accessibility and ease of navigation

   • Real-time drain tracking and volume recording with visual analytics

   • Personal health profiles with body-tagging feature to identify drain locations

     
     

2. Coordinator Dashboard

   • Advanced tools for patient registration, active drain tracking, and monitoring alerts

   • Centralized visibility into patient lists, recent cases, and notification management

   • API integrations for body tagging, drain creation, and patient summaries

     
     

3. Provider Dashboard

   • Virtual consultation workflows with Zoom iframe integration

   • Emergency visit management and queue-based patient scheduling

   • Access to patient statistics, medical histories, and drain performance reports

     
     

4. Notification & Communication Layer

   • Real-time push notifications and emails for drain volume updates, alerts, and appointments

   • Secure communication between patients and providers for clinical interventions

     
     

5. Virtual Consultation & Transactions

   • In-app virtual meeting functionality powered by Zoom iframe

   • Stripe integration for subscription billing and one-time payments

   • API support for transaction tracking and automated invoice generation

     
     

6. Analytics & Reporting

   • Drain history visualization via line graphs and summary dashboards

   • Department-level and user-level statistical APIs for performance analysis

   • Google Calendar-based scheduling integration for providers and coordinators

Implementation Timeline

The project was executed in 8 weeks (2 months), divided into structured phases:

• Weeks 1–3: UI redesign, API integration, and new module creation for patients and coordinators

• Weeks 4–5: Virtual meeting implementation, emergency care module, and backend APIs

• Weeks 6–7: Provider dashboard, queue management, and notification APIs

• Week 8: Stripe payment gateway integration, subscriptions, and final QA

Results

• Enhanced Clinical Oversight: Providers gained a unified view of all patients and drain statuses in real time.

• Patient Engagement: Patients could self-report and track drain health, improving adherence to care protocols.

• Operational Efficiency: Coordinators handled 3× more patients through automated notifications and dashboards.

• Scalability: Modular architecture enabled easy addition of new user roles and features.

• Security & Compliance: Implemented full HIPAA-aligned encryption and secure access management.

Key Takeaways

• Multi-role architecture bridges communication between patients, coordinators, and providers.

• Integrated APIs ensure accurate, automated reporting across the care continuum.

• Virtual consultations and digital payments streamline remote healthcare delivery.

• Scalable design allows future integration of IoT-enabled medical devices.

• Agile 8-week execution enabled rapid delivery without compromising quality.
