AI-Enhanced Network Architecture for Pruhart Health

A multi-location healthcare network design that combines conventional routing and security controls with AI-assisted operations.

Project objective

Improve latency, throughput, scalability, visibility, and incident response across a headquarters location, clinics, cloud services, and remote users.

What I produced

  • Created a network model containing routers, switches, firewalls, clinic servers, headquarters servers, wireless access, a DMZ, and cloud administration.
  • Used IPsec VPN connectivity to link distributed sites.
  • Designed an AI controller concept with SIEM/SOAR functions for anomaly detection, alert prioritization, scaling, and optimization.
  • Produced GNS3, JSON, and architecture-diagram artifacts and documented expected behavior.

Key decisions

  • Keep core security enforcement in conventional firewalls and access controls while using AI for analysis and recommendations.
  • Centralize logs and telemetry so events from every site can be correlated.
  • Use cloud resources to offload demand during telehealth and patient-portal peaks.
  • Require human review for high-impact automated security actions.

Validation and analysis

  • Compared current and proposed latency and throughput behavior.
  • Explained resource-management and scaling triggers.
  • Defined monitoring, performance, security, and oversight considerations for the AI-assisted design.
