- Portrait Mobile Monitoring System is a first generation complex system designed to meet the needs of Continuous vital signs monitoring of patients in a Med Surge ward in hospitals. This system consists of 48 miniature hand held monitoring devices that receive data via wireless sensors connected to patients. Data is transmitted through Wi-Fi to On-Prem Edge platform which aggregates, stores and processes data before sending it to Central Viewer workstations where the data from 48 monitors is aggregated and viewed (24 patients per workstation). The system consists of three subsystems (Hubs and Sensors for data acquisition, On Prem Edge for storing data, Central Viewer for aggregating and sharing data). The program had a team size of 140+, developed in three global sites for a period of 6 years with Bangalore team owning On-Prem Edge based on Edison Health Link Platform, Systems Engineering , System Test Automation and Reliability.
- Defined and realized System Reliability Plan for Portrait Mobile.
- Defined a 3 layered reliability growth strategy for a complex portrait Mobile system, focusing on system-level testing under real-world and extreme conditions.
- Adapted GEHC Design for Reliability Process which defines product reliability requirements including the customer focused metrics like IPTM (Incidents Per thousand Monitoring hours).
- Established and monitored Critical to Quality (CTQ) metrics and performance benchmarks (e.g., waveform latency, alarm response times, CPU/memory utilization).
- Laid out strategy to cover stress and accelerated life test scenarios simulating network impairments, power failures, and high-load conditions across 48-bed system.
- Led the development of Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) workflows to simulate 7 years of usage within 3 weeks.
- Coordinated cross-functional validation using exploratory and scripted recovery scenarios to verify system behaviour during network outages, server restarts, and device reboots.
- Utilized automated data collection and visualization tools (e.g., Longevity and HALT dashboards) for continuous monitoring and analysis of system health.
- Designed and Implemented Sub System Test Automation Strategy for On-Prem Edge Platform.
- Developed dockerized tool for establishing auto connection of portrait hub and viewer to Platform at scale (48 beds & 8 Viewers) extendable to any multi bed solution.
- Achieved test automation at different level (Design, Integration, Sub system level) for 25+ docker services which are running on-prem cloud deployment.
- Developed tools which enables test automation at multiple sub system level which break the monolith testing.
- Architected Sub system reliability test by defining various CTQ’s for all the services & measure same with ELK integrated with Kibana.
- Achieved complete stability of test code by running tests in pipeline, identifying root cause of failures & converted all flaky tests to stable tests.
- Designed and Implemented System Test Automation Strategy for Portrait Mobile.
- Developed a robust test automation framework using Gherkin (GWT) syntax, Java, Serenity, and JBehave to validate system requirements through automated verification.
- Created and maintained feature files, step definitions, and test suites mapped to functional and performance requirements, ensuring traceability and test coverage.
- Managed test code lifecycle via a dedicated code configuration and release plan, ensuring version control and traceability.
- Aligned automation with system verification strategy, contributing to early defect detection and improved release confidence.
- Designed tests using challenging test strategy to cover all possible test methods applicable for a feature.
- Defined and Streamlined Software Factory Integration Process for CI/CD Enablement.
- Established a robust CI/CD integration model to ensure subsystem and system-level software maturity through continuous testing and gated merges.
- Designed workflows for backward-compatible and incompatible changes, enforcing synchronized development and system-level validation across Axone, Viewer, Wearables, and STAR.
- Demonstrated strong reliability architecture at system and sub system level by defining CTQ, PM’s (Performance Measurements), KPI’s by adopting different reliability models like HAST, HALT, Longevity test.
- Central Viewer & Patient Monitors (2010–16): Designed automation strategy and simplified patient monitor test automation (Automation of embedded system using python and Robot framework).
- Designed and implemented comprehensive end-to-end test automation strategy for Central Viewer (Windows-based desktop application) and Patient Monitor systems.
- Developed automation framework using TestComplete for GUI-based testing of Windows desktop Central Viewer application.
- Established automated connectivity and control of patient monitors through serial/network communication protocols.
- Created complete end-to-end workflow automation covering: Patient monitor configuration and parameter setup, Data acquisition from monitors (vital signs, waveforms, alarms), Central Viewer desktop application data display and aggregation verification, Alarm propagation and notification testing across Windows UI, Network connectivity and failover scenarios.
- Automated embedded system testing using Python and Robot framework for patient monitor firmware validation.
- Implemented automated test scenarios for multi-monitor environments (up to 32 bedside monitors connected to Windows desktop application).
- Developed custom test libraries for monitor communication protocols and data validation.
- Achieved 70% automation coverage for regression testing, reducing manual testing effort significantly.
- Integrated automated tests into CI pipeline for continuous validation of Windows desktop application.
- Next Gen Gateway (2018–19): Converted data to HL7 format for EMRs.
- Next Gen Connect Solution (2017–18): Architected automation-first delivery for bedside monitoring data.
