RODELA NEXUS AI

Architecting the Healthcare Backend

A Step-by-Step Engineering Guide

Introduction

This guide outlines the technical deployment of the Rodela Healthcare AI “Nexus” platform, focusing on the agentic backend architecture. We transition from diagnostic data processing to automated healthcare orchestration.

Step 1: Environment Orchestration

To ensure a stable and isolated clinical environment, we utilize a multi-container Docker configuration. This isolates the AI logic, database, and Redis memory layers.

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
    backend:
        build: ./rodela_backend
        environment:
            - DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@db:5432/rodela
            - REDIS_URL=redis://cache:6379
        depends_on:
            - db
            - cache
    db:
        image: postgres:15-alpine
    cache:
        image: redis:7-alpine

Step 2: Database Normalization & Design

Effective healthcare AI requires normalized data to ensure HIPAA compliance and data integrity. Below is the DBMS diagram for the core Rodela schema.
