Our client is a German biotech company specializing in research and diagnostics of rare hereditary diseases. Our client has many strategic goals but their key purpose is to save precious patient time, address anxiety, and speed up breakthroughs for families battling rare diseases.

Challenges

The company required a secure, scalable enterprise system for their specialists to manage patient data, monitor disease progression, and improve communication. Essentially, the client wanted to introduce a centralized data platform for:

Secure patient data collection and monitoring for rare diseases
Improving communication between patients and their medical team
Efficient control of complex access rights for administrative staff
Management of multilingual medical surveys (Quality of Life)
Generating deep analytics and reporting on key metrics
Ensuring compliance with high security standards for medical data

Solutions

Anadea developed an enterprise web and mobile application that brought our client a centralized administrative platform with three core modules:

Access management,
Content management (QoL questionnaires),
Analytics and reporting.

PHASE 1

Discovery & Architecture Design

Requirements Analysis

We mapped workflows for patient data monitoring, role hierarchies, and multilingual survey (QoL) management.
Security-First Architecture

Designed an RBAC model with permission inheritance (Write > Read) and Active Directory/LDAP integration.
Compliance Blueprint

Defined a documentation strategy for non-medical device certification.

PHASE 2

Core Module Development

Access Control Engine
- Built permission groups with Read/Write granularity
- Implemented role templates (e.g., "Reporting" = analytics-only access)
- Developed column-level data visibility rules
Survey Management System
- Created dynamic editor for QoL questions/answers
- Engineered translation pipeline with file-based uploads (CSV), a version control with active/inactive states, and a preview mode for validation
- Automated CSV survey exports

PHASE 3

Analytics & Integration Layer

Data Visualization Hub
- Developed interactive dashboards with filters (time/patient groups)
- Charting libraries for KPI tracking
- QoL completion rates (Mood/Health/Pain)

PHASE 4

Security & Deployment

Entity-Level Permissions

Custom rules for sensitive data (biomarkers, patient records).
Authentication

Active directory single sign-on (SSO).
Agile Documentation

UML diagrams (BPMN/sequence) + acceptance criteria.
Scalability Testing

Validated permission expansion without performance loss.

Key Technical Outcomes

1
Single interface for access control, surveys, analytics, and alerts.
2
Non‑technical staff can manage multilingual surveys via CSV.
3
Automated permission audits and activity logs.
4
Exportable analytics for therapy effectiveness tracking.

Core Platform Features

Access Control (RBAC)

The system controls who sees what. Teams get custom access levels—some can only view basic details, others can edit medical records. This keeps patient genetic data safe while letting doctors focus on treatment.
QoL Questionnaire Management

This feature helps medical staff quickly update health surveys for different diseases and languages. It can show how patients feel through pain/mood tracking. Export to CSV is also possible.
Analytics & Reporting

The platform turns data into actionable insights. It allows seeing registration patterns, identifying why patients miss appointments, or tracking how pain levels change over time. Visually rich charts and reports help clinics adjust care plans faster.
Notification System

It sends automatic alerts for urgent needs: a new patient waiting for assignment, an uncompleted task risking delays, or a lab kit shipment requiring tracking. Nothing slips through.

Business Value

Enhanced Security & Compliance

RBAC and audit-ready documentation slashed compliance meetings and proved non-medical device status in record time. Researchers focused on cures, not paperwork.
Operational Efficiency

The transition from fragmented processes to a centralized administration panel transformed user, permission, and patient data management. Simplified user database maintenance and elimination of duplicate records helped consolidate critical workflows into a single interface.
Data-Driven Insights

Raw data found its voice. Dynamic dashboards uncovered patient activity rhythms, quality-of-life shifts, and cohort-specific patterns. These data-driven perspectives empowered the team to adapt research methodologies.
Proactive Monitoring

Automated notifications now track critical triggers—high-risk behaviors, decline of system activity, urgent milestones—ensuring no patient signal goes unheard. Real-time vigilance turned reactivity into proactive care.
Future-Proof Flexibility

Scalability was woven into the platform’s DNA. New features, user roles, and access scenarios integrate seamlessly without compromising security or system stability.
