I personally wouldn't use web technologies to write critical medical software, but if I did it would be in Elixir or Erlang for the optimized garbage collection and supervision trees. I agree with you on LiveView as well. I believe it would prove to be more reliable than client-side JavaScript.

Every technology is web technology if you use it for web stuff. Elixir is used also for other technologies, the underlying VM was written to manage real time communication base stations. If anything it might be one of the most suitable technologies for such a task since it was built exactly for handling recovery from failures and concurrency, regardless of how you want to display the data, in a browser or some other client.
