🛠️ How we built it

Google Cloud ADK Foundation

Built on Google's Agent Development Kit with production-scale A2A protocol implementation:

# ADK Multi-Agent Orchestration
from google_adk import MasterOrchestrator, A2AProtocol

class MedicalMasterOrchestrator(MasterOrchestrator):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            agents=[ImageAnalysisAgent, ClinicalAssessmentAgent, 
                   RiskAssessmentAgent, MonaiReviewAgent, ProtocolAgent,
                   CommunicationAgent, WorkflowOrchestrationAgent, 
                   DiagnosticAgent, PatientCommunicationAgent]
        )
        self.a2a_protocol = A2AProtocol(
            routing="medical_priority",
            fault_tolerance="circuit_breaker",
            encryption="medical_grade"
        )

A2A Communication

  • Medical Priority Queuing: Custom routing algorithms prioritizing critical patients
  • Cross-Agent State Synchronization: Maintaining patient context across all 9 agents
  • Fault-Tolerant Messaging: Circuit breakers with automatic recovery and predictive alerts
  • Encrypted Medical Data Exchange: HIPAA-compliant agent-to-agent communication
  • Load Balancing: Health-aware routing with 7 intelligent algorithms

Google Cloud Ready Architecture

Current Local Development:

  • Docker Containers: Ready for Cloud Run deployment with included Dockerfiles
  • Supabase PostgreSQL: FHIR-compliant local database (Cloud SQL migration ready)
  • Local File Storage: Medical images with Cloud Storage integration scripts prepared
  • Redis Monitoring: Health metrics compatible with Cloud Monitoring
  • Local Auth: OAuth 2.0 structure prepared for Identity Platform

One-Command Cloud Migration:

# When Google Cloud credentials become available
./deploy_to_google_cloud.sh

Note: System runs fully local due to Google Cloud billing requirements, but architected for seamless cloud deployment.
