Kino Heartkinetics

Medical Innovation

Kino represents a breakthrough in non-invasive cardiac monitoring technology. This sophisticated mobile application functions as an intelligent stethoscope, leveraging smartphone sensors to capture and analyze heart vibrations. Developed in collaboration with cardiologists and patients with cardiac conditions, Kino transforms standard mobile devices into powerful diagnostic tools through advanced algorithms and sensor utilization.

Technical Infrastructure

My role as the backend infrastructure architect focused on developing HIPAA-compliant systems for secure medical data handling. This included implementing authenticated webhooks, end-to-end encryption, and secure APIs for transmitting sensitive biometric data. I engineered systems to process complex binary sensor data from mobile accelerometers and gyroscopes, transforming it into structured JSON formats accessible to the frontend visualization components.

Data Security & Compliance

A critical aspect of the project involved designing and implementing healthcare-grade security protocols to ensure patient data confidentiality while maintaining compliance with international medical regulations. The infrastructure included robust authentication systems, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and comprehensive access controls—all optimized for medical environments with strict privacy requirements.

During the initial clinical validation studies, Kino demonstrated exceptional accuracy in identifying cardiac anomalies. The platform's ability to provide physicians with intuitive visualizations of complex cardiac data has proven instrumental in early detection of heart conditions, potentially saving lives through preventative intervention.
