High Level Conceptual Architecture for remotely maintaining medical equipment and accessing medical records over the internet

Highlights:

1. Equipment software is automatically updated without requiring manual updates, (equipment is registered as an iOT device and agent running on it subscribes to MQTT messages and can download software updates as per schedule). Set up on shared AWS account
2. Another agent on equipment uploads files images/files to file storage (S3) per hospital, and stores metadata in datastore per hospital(e.g. DynamoDB) for future access and location of files

• Federated Auth using AWS Cognito
• Separate AWS account per hospital for patient data isolation
• Healthcare provider can access data over the internet after proper authentication

Note: Article does not cover network security (vpc/firewall/roles etc), auditing, logging, observability, HIPAA controls and federated authentication/authorization detail for brevity.
