Domain Architecture for HealthTech
The domain model is a checklist with evidence: the claim record names its type and therefore its required documents (form, findings, consent where the flow needs it), each arrival flips an item after legibility checks, and requests for missing pieces generate from the same checklist the staff see. Consent records attach to the claim where processing depends on them, so the file a handler opens contains its own permission story.
Compliance, Data Residency & Governance
Health-adjacent claims carry special-category data through several hands, which makes the trail the compliance artefact: what was submitted, by whom, when; what was requested; what was decided and by whom — all inside one European project. Retention follows the claim type’s declared window with hold support, and claimant-visible status reduces the “what is happening with my claim” contacts that otherwise become unstructured email holding the same sensitive data with none of the controls.
Health data is special-category data under GDPR, and the obligations that follow are about control and evidence: purpose-bound access, consent that can be shown rather than asserted, retention with exceptions, and data that stays where the documentation says it stays. KERNSTACK supports that posture structurally — one European zone on the operator’s own bare metal, access enforced in the functions and workers a reviewer can read, approval and review steps recorded with names and timestamps, and retention sweeps that respect hold flags. It does not certify your product; it makes the certifiable shape easier to build and to demonstrate.
Operational Impact on the Software Lifecycle Cloud
Handlers stop being document chasers. Their queue contains complete files; incomplete ones advance themselves as claimants respond to precise requests (“page 2 of the findings is illegible — please re-upload”) sent while the document is still at hand. Cycle time falls because the waiting becomes visible to the person who can end it, and decision quality rises because attention is spent deciding.
Key Domain Entities & Workflows
- Primary HealthTech Data Entities: patients, encounters, consent records, care documents, retention holds
- Governed Lifecycle Workflows: document review, consent capture, referral intake, retention hold, subject erasure
- Integrated Platform Services: buckets, workflows, tables, workers

Frequently asked questions
The checklist is shared truth: the same record staff see powers the claimant’s status view, and missing-piece requests are generated from it item by item. No handler has to compose the “please also send…” email from memory.
As a required checklist item where the claim type needs it, captured and stored against the claim with its timestamp and presented text. A file that reaches a handler carries its permission story with it.
Yes — the checking worker rejects unreadable arrivals within minutes and the claimant is asked to re-upload while the document is still nearby. Staff see the item only when a legible version has landed.
