• mindLAMP deployed at 65 sites across 17 countries, achieving 70% patient adherence and strong clinical outcomes for depression and anxiety treatment
• Platform combines Learn, Assess, Manage, and Portal components with digital phenotyping to convert smartphone sensor data into clinical insights
• Built on serverless AWS infrastructure including ECS Fargate, DocumentDB, and AWS Private CA for secure, reproducible global deployment
• Uses infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and keyless CI/CD via GitHub Actions OIDC for operational efficiency without dedicated ops team
• Developing Corvin, an AI agent to automate routine navigator tasks while maintaining human oversight and patient safety

The platform demonstrates how AWS managed services enable academic teams to operate production-grade digital health infrastructure globally while maintaining security, compliance, and clinical effectiveness.
