Background:
NeuroBell is an innovative health-tech startup dedicated to revolutionizing the newborn brain monitoring and care through cutting-edge technology solutions.
NeuroBell spun-out of the INFANT Centre in University College Cork in 2023, building on years of ground-breaking research in the field of neonatal brain monitoring. NeuroBell’s first product, Luna, is a novel medical device providing pocket-sized and wireless brain monitoring with automated neonatal seizure alerts at the bedside and on the cloud with remote viewing ad reporting capabilities.
The NeuroBell Luna Software Platform is a modern, service-oriented system built in Go and deployed on Kubernetes in AWS, designed to ingest, process, and persist high-frequency biomedical time-series data. It uses well-defined microservices, TCP streaming with mTLS for device-to-cloud ingestion and PostgreSQL-backed scalable storage to support continuous operation and long-term data retention. The platform is built and operated using modern SaaS engineering practices, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, strong coding standards, a modern TypeScript frontend, and a clear emphasis on observability and reliability. This provides a platform for new products and services to be built as NeuroBell expand.
