Healthcare Education-as-a-Service provider
builds scalable and agile cloud infrastructure with Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat JBoss Middleware and
Ansible
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that EdLogics, a health
education-based consumer engagement company and innovator in
game-based learning, has built its digital health literacy platform
on container and cloud solutions from Red Hat, including Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat JBoss Middleware, and Ansible
by Red Hat. EdLogics’ Education-as-a-Service offering, based on Red
Hat technology, is aiming to transform the way consumers learn
about health and improve health literacy while simultaneously
cutting consumer costs.
Studies have indicated that low health literacy - the ability to
understand and act on health information - can be tied to patient
health outcomes1. EdLogics’ mission is to address health literacy
issues through an interactive, personalized experience that makes
learning about health fun and engaging, and empowers individuals to
take greater responsibility for managing their health. The
company's business plan called for delivering a game-based learning
platform as a minimum viable product hosted in a public cloud. As
interest grew in the EdLogics offering, customers began signing up
for the service, providing support for the startup's approach. By
offering innovative solutions to address health literacy, EdLogics
plans to improve health outcomes and help control rising healthcare
costs.
With its Education-as-a-Service platform developed, EdLogics
turned to Vizuri, an IT consulting firm that specializes in modern
software architectures, tools, and processes, and a Premier Red Hat
partner, to help build a modern and agile application
infrastructure that could support the startup’s long-term business
objectives. Working with Vizuri, EdLogics deployed Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform to address the portability,
scalability, and resiliency the company needed for its cloud
infrastructure. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is
specifically designed to provide a more secure, stable platform for
container-based deployments while allowing for mission-critical,
traditional applications to coexist alongside new, cloud-native and
container-based applications.
By deploying each client application in a multitenant,
container-based and more secure cloud infrastructure, EdLogics has
found that it now has dynamic and automated scalability, plus
improved reliability, to help support its client and user
growth.
To implement this solution, EdLogics deployed Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform on BlackMesh SecureCloud, a managed service
offering that is compliant with the Federal Risk and Authorization
Program (FedRAMP), which provides a standardized approach to
security and monitoring for cloud products and services. BlackMesh,
a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider, enables EdLogics to
comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI
DSS), and FedRAMP, which can free up the EdLogics team to focus on
its core business instead of infrastructure management and
maintenance.
EdLogics also deployed Red Hat JBoss Middleware and Ansible by
Red Hat, the leading simple, powerful, and agentless open source IT
automation framework, to support its integration and DevOps
practices. With the combination of Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform and Ansible, EdLogics and Vizuri created tailored
continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes,
taking advantage of the Red Hat solutions for provisioning,
configuration management and deployment automation solutions. Using
Red Hat JBoss Middleware, EdLogics can integrate its platform with
strategic partners, electronic health records (EHRs), patient
portals, and care plan systems through a single sign-on interface
and share data through API architectures.

“Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, in conjunction with our
technology partners, brings EdLogics the portability and
scalability they need for a growing platform that can require rapid
changes to its real-time information. We are proud to provide an
open platform that allows EdLogics to improve its customers’ health
literacy and give more accessible healthcare education to its user
base, better meeting the needs of today’s digitally-savvy
patient.”

officer, EdLogics
“We believed that no one was delivering a personalized, fun, and
engaging way to educate consumers and improve health outcomes. So,
we set out to create an Education-as-a-Service offering and make it
available in the cloud to healthcare organizations, employers, and
government agencies. We've invested in the technology and
infrastructure necessary to support our platform and we are
partnering with Red Hat and Vizuri to make that happen.”
