The Problem

Business Impact

During Covid-19, scientists and IIHMR needed to rapidly collect health survey data from millions of unreported patients. No existing system could scale fast enough or reach enough devices.

Constraints

The app had to be compatible with all browsers and all devices - including old phones used in remote areas - to maximize survey participation.

02

Technical Execution

Architectural Strategy

Built a serverless survey system on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB - designed to scale to millions of responses with minimal infrastructure cost.

Depth of Execution

Simple, unobtrusive design compatible with all browsers and devices. AWS Lambda and DynamoDB chosen for instant scalability and minimal development time. The app scaled on demand to handle millions of concurrent survey submissions.

03

Results

  • Millions of unreported COVID-19 patient surveys registered.
  • Survey data contributed to vaccine research and public health planning.
  • Zero downtime during peak pandemic survey periods.
Future Proofing

Serverless architecture scaled automatically with zero infrastructure management.
