EW2Health: Turning Complex Health Data into Clear Actions with Looker

EW2Health now provides healthcare professionals with a smarter, scalable and future-ready platform.

Easy Way to Health

The Goal

EW2Health is driven by a clear mission: to help people live healthier lives through personalized support, particularly in weight management. They combine smart technology, behavioral science, and AI to guide users toward healthier habits. Their platform is an essential tool for healthcare providers, clinics, hospitals, and insurers worldwide.

The goal was not just to deliver basic metrics to healthcare institutions but to empower healthcare professionals with the data they need to provide truly personalized care.

EW2Health aimed to give providers the ability to explore individual cases in detail, helping them understand each patient’s unique situation. This approach would allow doctors to make more informed decisions, tailor their care plans more effectively, and ultimately improve patient outcomes, particularly in addressing the growing challenge of obesity.

The Challenge

EW2Health’s platform needed to process real-time health data and generate insightful metrics in a way that was both fast and cost-efficient. The solution had to ensure that healthcare workers could quickly identify patient needs without having to sift through large amounts of raw data.

Another challenge was scaling the platform as EW2Health continued to grow. They needed a flexible system that could onboard new clinics easily and maintain the integrity of their existing metrics and logic. The platform also had to provide a secure environment for managing sensitive health data, ensuring that only authorized users could access the right information based on their role and clinic.

Lastly, as a key part of their solution, EW2Health needed to deliver actionable insights to clinicians without overwhelming them with data. This required a platform that would highlight key information and allow healthcare providers to react proactively to patient needs, rather than simply providing a tool for exploring data.

About Easy Way 2 Health

EW2Health, based in the Netherlands, develops innovative technology to support personalised health journeys, with a particular focus on weight management. Their platform combines behavioural analysis with patented AI algorithms to provide tailored guidance and improve adherence to healthy lifestyle changes. They work with healthcare providers, enabling them to offer data-driven, personalised support to their patients, ultimately aiming to improve long-term health outcomes and combat the global challenge of obesity. They also have 2 weight loss clinics in the Netherlands using the tool to personalise their program, and large pilot clinics, hospitals, and insurance companies in Brazil.

The Solution

EW2Health partnered with Crystalloids to implement Google Cloud's Looker as their central business intelligence platform. Together, we developed a solution that provided healthcare professionals with a clear and actionable view of patient data, enabling them to make quick, informed decisions.
Here’s how we made it happen:

  1. Platform Setup and Integration
    We set up Looker on Google Cloud and built data pipelines to pull data from various sources, such as Amazon Aurora, into BigQuery. This allowed EW2Health to have a secure, centralized platform for processing and analyzing their data.

  2. Semantic Layer and Data Structuring
    Using LookML, we built a semantic layer that defined key metrics and connected data points logically. This layer enabled the platform to calculate essential metrics while ensuring data accuracy and efficiency. Approximately 20-30 important metrics were structured to deliver meaningful insights.

  3. Reporting and Actionable Insights
    We created reports and alerts to surface critical insights for healthcare providers. These reports highlighted key patient data, enabling clinicians to quickly identify patients who needed attention.

  4. Performance Optimization
    Performance was crucial, so we implemented caching and optimized data processing using Persistent Derived Tables (PDTs). These improvements resulted in dashboards and reports loading up to 10 times faster, giving healthcare professionals quick access to the data they needed without delays.

  5. Security and Access Control
    We implemented access controls at the semantic layer level to ensure that each clinic could only view its own data. This maintained data privacy and regulatory compliance across multiple clinics.

  6. Time-Saving Features
    To help healthcare providers manage their workload, we added time-saving features like automated report scheduling. These features allowed healthcare professionals to receive critical updates without manually generating reports, further streamlining their workflow.

The Result

The results of the solution delivered for EW2Health were:

  • Effortless Understanding: Complex clinical data is now presented clearly in intuitive dashboards, accessible even for non-technical users.
  • Empowered Providers: Clinicians can now quickly see how patients are doing, identify who needs extra support, and tailor guidance based on the insights. Previously, clinics didn't have such experience; they had to use their internal systems and didn't have a proactive approach to reaction.
  • Smarter Decisions: With reliable data at their fingertips, EW2Health enables providers to make more informed decisions
  • Ready for the Future: EW2Health now has a fast, scalable analytics platform that doesn't just solve today's problems but is ready to support their growth and innovation tomorrow.
