Overview

A digital health startup needed to build a telemedicine platform that could deliver clinical-grade video consultations at scale. Existing solutions were either too expensive, lacked proper HIPAA compliance, or delivered poor video quality on low-bandwidth connections common in rural areas.

We built a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform with WebRTC-based video consultations, integrated EHR access, e-prescribing, and a patient portal. The system uses adaptive bitrate streaming and custom TURN servers to ensure reliable video quality even on 3G connections.

The Challenge

Video Quality at Scale

Deliver clinical-grade video quality for 5,000+ concurrent consultations while adapting to varying network conditions including low-bandwidth rural connections.

HIPAA-Compliant Video

Ensure all video and audio streams are end-to-end encrypted, with no intermediary access to PHI during transmission or recording.

Clinical Workflow Integration

Integrate video consultations with EHR access, e-prescribing, lab orders, and clinical note-taking in a seamless workflow.

Cross-Platform Access

Provide a consistent experience across web, iOS, and Android for both patients and providers, with no app download required for patients.

1

Custom WebRTC Infrastructure

Deployed a fleet of TURN/STUN servers across 5 AWS regions for reliable peer-to-peer connectivity. Implemented Simulcast and SVC for adaptive bitrate streaming down to 500kbps.

End-to-End Encrypted Sessions

Implemented Insertable Streams API for true E2E encryption of video and audio. Encryption keys are exchanged via a HIPAA-compliant key management service.

Integrated Clinical Workspace

Built a provider workspace that surfaces patient history, vitals, medications, and lab results alongside the video feed. Providers can prescribe and document notes without leaving the consultation.
