Through deep technical expertise and a scalable delivery model, Orion helps the organization deliver life-changing diagnostic services to patients worldwide.

The client is a global leader in cell-free DNA testing and genetic diagnostics. They partner with Orion Innovation to strengthen and expand their software platforms across genomics, laboratory operations, customer care, and cloud infrastructure.

Challenge

As the organization scales its product offerings and operational footprint, it requires a trusted technology partner to support the rapid development and evolution of its software ecosystems, ensuring innovation, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across clinical, laboratory, and customer-facing systems.

Solution

Orion Innovation provides integrated software development and platform engineering services across four critical domains:

1. Genomics Software Development 

  • Develops and optimizes secondary analysis pipelines for NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) data, enabling high-throughput, cloud-based genomic data processing for the client’s prenatal, oncology, and organ transplant diagnostic tests. 
  • Designs and builds tertiary analysis solutions, creating modern, user-friendly software platforms with advanced automation to streamline interpretation, reporting, and clinical decision support. 
  • Scales bioinformatics pipelines to operate reliably in massive production environments, processing millions of samples with cloud-native architectures on AWS. 
  • Supports both production-grade and research-driven use cases, enabling rapid innovation while maintaining compliance with clinical quality standards. 
  • Leverages a broad technology stack including AWS cloud servicesPythonJavamodern UI frameworks (such as React and Angular), and industry-leading bioinformatics tools and libraries to build scalable, high-performance, and compliant solutions. 
  • Contributes to the development of the complete laboratory software infrastructure, supporting the end-to-end lifecycle from order intake to sample processing to result delivery.
  • Builds and enhances sample tracking systems, ensuring real-time visibility and traceability of samples as they move through complex laboratory workflows.
  • Develops integration solutions for a wide range of laboratory equipment, including sequencers, liquid handlers, and other automated instruments, enabling seamless data capture and process automation.
  • Helps design and scale highly automated, modern laboratories operating across multiple locations, supporting high-throughput clinical testing at industrial scale.
  • Delivers robust, scalable, and compliant software systems to support the rapid growth and operational excellence of the client’s laboratory operations.
  • Leverages a modern technology stack including AWS, Java, Kafka (for event-driven architecture), relational and NoSQL databases, and laboratory instrument integration protocols to deliver reliable, scalable, and compliant solutions.

3. Customer Care Software Development 

  • Designs and builds a seamless, end-to-end customer experience across multiple digital channels for both clinical providers and patients taking the organization’s genetic tests. 
  • Develops and enhances portalsmobile applicationscustomer support chatbots, and billing platforms that streamline the entire journey from test ordering to educationtrackingresult deliveryconsultation, and payment
  • Builds a robust billing infrastructure that maximizes revenue capture for the client while providing patients with flexible, user-friendly payment options, including insurance integration and direct payment flows
  • Integrates solutions with industry-standard Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems to ensure a seamless, efficient experience for healthcare providers ordering and managing the client’s tests. 
  • Develops Generative AI solutions to automate multiple business processes, improve operational efficiency, and enhance both provider and patient engagement. 
  • Focuses on delivering a modern, intuitive, and compassionate healthcare technology experience that sets a new standard in the genetic testing space. 
  • Leverages a diverse technology stack including AWSNode.js, JavaReactSwift for web and mobile apps, chatbot platformsGenAI frameworks, and EHR integration standards like HL7 and FHIR

4. Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Engineering 

  • Augments the organization’s platform engineering and DevOps teams by providing development, automation, and cloud optimization services that accelerate software delivery and operational excellence. 
  • Provides expert AWS consulting to optimize cloud architecture, governance, and cost management, achieving significant savings across a multi-million dollar annual AWS spend. 
  • Automates infrastructure provisioningdeployment pipelines, and CI/CD processes, improving software development velocity, consistency, and system reliability. 
  • Introduces Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), serverless architectures, and microservices patterns to modernize application deployment and scalability. 
  • Enhances monitoringalerting, and incident response frameworks to ensure high system availability, performance, and operational transparency across mission-critical services. 
  • Enables rapid scaling of cloud environments to support growing laboratory operations, data processing needs, and new product launches, while maintaining strict security and compliance standards.
