How Somniplanet improves sleep apnea patients' compliance thanks to a callbot

The context, the need 📍

Sleep apnea is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. This condition, which is often under-diagnosed, requires rigorous medical monitoring to ensure patients' health and well-being. Faced with this challenge, Somniplanet has identified an urgent need: to design a virtual assistant capable of guiding and supporting these patients throughout their care. To achieve this, it is essential to develop a robust data infrastructure to collect, standardize and manage data from the terminals used by patients.

The approach, the solution 🛠

To meet this need, Somniplanet implemented a solution based on an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline and a datalake on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This infrastructure not only enables data from tracking devices to be centralized, but also ensures effective governance of this data. Thanks to ILLUIN Dialogue technology, we have developed an intuitive virtual assistant designed to support patients in their treatment.

Main activities performed ✅

To implement this solution, several key technical steps were taken:

Project scope definition and costing: A crucial step to ensure that all stakeholders' needs are covered.

Development of a virtual assistant: Using ILLUIN Dialogue to create an interactive chatbot, capable of answering patients' questions and providing personalized advice.

Data engineering pipeline: Implementation of a data ingestion pipeline for sleep apnea terminals, integrating both batch jobs and streaming via GCP Dataflow and Apache Beam.

Datalake management: Centralization of data in a datalake, enabling quick and easy access to relevant information.

Web application development: Creation of a customized full-stack web application, using modern technologies such as Java (Spring Boot) for the backend and Angular for the frontend.

Deployment in an HDS-certified environment: Guarantee data security and compliance through deployment in an HDS-certified environment.

Project management and backlog: Coordination of teams and resources to ensure the project runs smoothly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, thanks to Somniplanet's initiative and ILLUIN Technology's technological solutions, the monitoring of sleep apnea patients has been considerably optimized. This data-centric approach, combined with cutting-edge technologies, is a perfect illustration of how innovation can transform the healthcare sector, offering concrete solutions to contemporary challenges.
