Secure Algorithm Integration for Global Eye Care Company
INDUSTRIES: Healthcare / Pharmaceutical
SERVICES: Custom Software Development & Engineering
THE COMPANY:
Global Leader in Eye Care Technology
Our client is one of the largest and most innovative companies in the eye care industry, providing advanced diagnostic and treatment tools to eye care professionals around the world. Their software platform is central to clinical workflows and continuously evolves to incorporate leading-edge ophthalmic research.
THE CHALLENGE:
Integrate a Proprietary Eye Calculation Algorithm Without Exposing It
The client aimed to improve surgical precision in lens selection by incorporating a widely respected intraocular lens (IOL) calculation algorithm, developed by a prominent ophthalmologist. The algorithm, however, was proprietary and not designed for external integration. IQ Inc was engaged to architect a secure and scalable solution that would enable the client’s software to leverage the algorithm’s results—without ever exposing its logic or source code.
THE SOLUTION:
Secure, Modular Integration via API to Enable Algorithm Access While Preserving IP
IQ Inc led the technical design and implementation of a decoupled integration approach.
Under the Hood
We worked directly with the algorithm’s author to encapsulate the core logic in a private service, exposing only a narrow, versioned API surface for use by the client application. On the client side, IQ modified the platform to interact with the external API, ensuring fault tolerance, input validation, and accurate data serialization.
Deployment
The entire solution was containerized for consistent deployment across test and production environments. Rigorous validation confirmed clinical integrity, and the enhanced application was successfully deployed to thousands of ophthalmology practices worldwide.
