Customer Success Story
Momo Medical's Transformation with Rocketleap
About Momo Medical
Momo Medical, a startup based in Delft, Netherlands, is improving care in nursing homes through IoT technology.
Their flagship product, the Momo BedSense App, is an innovative sensor system that monitors residents' night patterns, providing important data to nurses via an app. This technology is particularly beneficial for providing care to residents with dementia.
The Momo App assists caregivers in answering the critical question: "Who needs me?"
With a single glance, caregivers gain an overview of all residents in the nursing home. This enhances job satisfaction by enabling more person-centered care, reducing false alarms, and taking unnecessary check rounds and paperwork off their hands. For residents, the result is fewer falling incidents and better sleep.
While the Momo Medical team excels in developing IoT and application software, their primary focus on innovation left less room for managing AWS infrastructure.
"I’d recommend Rocketleap to a startup or as a scale-up. If you're looking to overhaul your existing setup for improved compliance and scalability or starting fresh with a well-implemented system, Rocketleap provides the necessary tools and support to transform your infrastructure effectively."

The problem
Initially, Momo Medical managed their infrastructure using a single EC2 instance.
This setup quickly became a bottleneck due to increasing demand as more nursing homes adopted their technology.
- Scalability: Running services on a single EC2 instance posed risks and limited scalability. Transitioning to a cloud-native architecture required careful planning to avoid disruptions.
- The complexity of AWS Services: Navigating the vast array of AWS services was challenging. Momo’s developers often lacked deep AWS knowledge, leading to inefficient setups and costly mistakes, such as misconfigured API gateways.
- Compliance and Security: Ensuring compliance with standards like HIPAA and ISO was complex and ongoing. Strong security measures were essential to protect sensitive medical data.
- Cost management: Managing costs effectively was difficult, especially with the initial EC2 setup leading to unexpected expenses. Misconfigured services often result in high costs.
- Developer knowledge: The steep learning curve with AWS services and the need for extensive documentation slowed development. Developers were often diverted from feature development to manage AWS infrastructure.
With Rocketleap, we can focus on adding features and value rather than getting AWS to work. Rocketleap takes away a lot of developers' workload of managing and getting AWS correct."
