Revolutionizing Patient Monitoring with Real-time Mobile Data
Triophore developed a real-time mobile patient monitoring solution for LifeSignals Inc., enabling efficient and secure health data transmission.
The Challenge
Business Problem
LifeSignals Inc. required a mobile gateway to reliably bridge their wearable ECG patches and the cloud, enabling real-time monitoring of vital signs with clinical-grade reliability.
Technical Debt
The existing system lacked the capability to handle zero-latency data streams, packet-level reliability, edge connectivity, power optimization, and data security required for continuous patient monitoring.
The Goal
To develop a high-performance Android application capable of securely streaming continuous physiological data with millisecond latency, ensuring data integrity and extended battery life.

The Solution
Discovery & Architecture
Triophore began with a comprehensive architectural design, leveraging Kotlin's type safety and asynchronous capabilities to create a high-performance Android application core. The architecture incorporated coroutines for concurrent data stream handling, edge processing for noise filtering and data compression, and a custom Wi-Fi hotspot management system for secure connectivity with the biosensor patch.
Development Phase
The development phase focused on implementing the architecture using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. gRPC with Protocol Buffers was used for efficient data uplink to the signal processing server, reducing payload size and improving transmission speed. MQTT was implemented for lightweight command-and-control communication. The user interface was built with Jetpack Compose to provide a reactive and intuitive experience for healthcare professionals.
Key Feature Implementation
Real-time ECG waveform visualization, secure Wi-Fi hotspot management, edge data processing, gRPC and MQTT data transmission, patient-centric onboarding flow, and HIPAA/GDPR compliance.
The Results
Performance
Data transmission achieved >99.9% uptime during clinical trials.
Scalability
The gRPC and MQTT architecture supports efficient scaling of data transmission and command-and-control communication.
User Impact
The intuitive UI and seamless connectivity simplified the process of pairing sensors and setting up Wi-Fi hotspots, improving the user experience for healthcare professionals.
Business Efficiency
Extended device runtime by 40% through optimization techniques, allowing for continuous 24-hour monitoring sessions. The security architecture facilitated FDA and CE approvals.
