Aarca Research — Technical Advisory for Non-Invasive Health Diagnostics
End-to-end technical leadership across cloud, AI, and compliance for a health-tech company building non-invasive diagnostic devices
The client
Aarca Research builds non-invasive health technologies for early detection, continuous monitoring, and guided recovery across cardiovascular, vascular, and neurological care. Their product line — backed by 12 global patents — includes HAYL (rapid cardiometabolic screening), NerveVue (peripheral vascular diagnostics), and IHRA (AI-driven thermal analysis for Type 2 Diabetes and hypertension detection).
The problem
A health-tech startup with deep domain expertise in biological sensing needed a technology partner who could operate as an extension of the founding team. Not a vendor to throw code over the wall to — someone who could outline the technological vision and mentor the team in implementing it: cloud infrastructure, application architecture, AI integration, DevOps pipelines, and the compliance requirements that come with building medical-grade software.
What we built
Transformation of the MVP into a cloud-native, scalable product — five applications taken from design to production.
Technical highlights:
- MVP-to-production transformation on cloud-native AWS architecture
- Architecture designed for HITRUST and HIPAA readiness from day one
- AI engineering for non-invasive diagnostic models — thermal imaging analysis and sensor fusion pipelines
- Application architecture across web and device-facing platforms
- DevOps infrastructure with CI/CD pipelines and environment management
- Security and compliance posture aligned with SOC2, HIPAA, and ISO 13485 requirements
What happened
Five production applications running on compliant AWS infrastructure. AI models processing real diagnostic data. A technology foundation that has held up from MVP through clinical validation and into production deployment — without needing to be rearchitected along the way.
Why this one matters
Seven years, five applications, one team. Health-tech compliance readiness isn't something you bolt on after the fact — it has to be in the architecture from day one. This engagement is the clearest example of what long-term technical advisory looks like when it's done right: infrastructure that scales, AI that ships, and compliance designed in from the start.
“Plavaga has been our technology backbone since inception. From cloud architecture to AI-powered diagnostics, they brought the technical depth that a health-tech company needs but can rarely find in one team.”
