Project Summary

VOLANSYS Technologies served as an ongoing product-engineering partner for a medical-device design and manufacturing company, delivering hardware, embedded firmware, cloud services, and mobile applications. They built digital health solutions — including remote patient monitoring and drug-adherence systems — using Angular, Node.js, AWS and Azure, and provided automated testing and DevOps support. Through Scrum-based collaboration and regular communication, VOLANSYS helped reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-market while improving product quality and UX.

Key Challenges

Provide hardware, embedded software, and cloud and mobile applications
Deliver scalable, easy-to-use solutions while reducing operational cost
Accelerate time-to-market for ongoing projects already in development
Increase development capacity to finish projects faster

Project Deliverables

Remote patient monitoring solutions
Mobile applications (Angular frontend, Node.js backend)
Firmware for infusion pumps and other healthcare/consumer devices
Cloud-based microservice architecture on AWS and Azure
Automated testing (Python and JMeter)
Third-party application integrations
Bare-metal firmware and embedded software

Project Solution

VOLANSYS provided end-to-end product engineering services, from prototype design to connected application development, automated product testing and validation. They developed digital health solutions focused on remote patient monitoring, drug-adherence systems, and interconnected point-of-care/diagnostics devices, and worked on device firmware (including infusion-pump firmware and bare-metal programming) as well as consumer appliance projects. For software, they built mobile frontends using Angular 5, Node.js backends, Python-based testing and JMeter, and cloud networks on AWS and Microsoft Azure; they also designed microservice architectures and implemented third-party app integrations. Engagements were long-term, time-and-materials, and executed in an Agile/Scrum model with regular stand-ups and collaboration via Jira and Confluence.
