Healthcare Apps Ecosystem Development and Support

Business Challenge

The customer wanted to hire .NET developers from a company that has real experience in the healthcare industry. The software developers should not only understand the complexity and specifics of medical applications but also have enough expertise to handle the existing enterprise .NET app ecosystem.

Solution

The customer’s existing healthcare applications were designed to manage/record prescriptions and medicines, send medicines from the warehouse to clinics, support the inventory of prescriptions and medicines, and print labels for medicines doses. In other words, this is an ecosystem of medical applications for patient appeals and prescribed medicines management/monitoring. Particularly healthcare apps simplify work processes, optimize the interaction between patients and doctors, and reduce the time of medical appointments.

The main features of the ecosystem can be described by the following points:

• Initial patient registration, data on diagnoses, and courses of treatment
• Collection of historical data on cases of interaction between patients and medical institutions
• Medicines prescription processing and its integration (at the API level) with external systems designed to automate pharmaceutical processes
• Formatting of printed forms in .docx, .pdf formats, etc.
• Modification of existing printed forms
• Modification of the back-end part of the project, ensuring the possibility of system operation without a basic medical framework
• Data exchange (integration) with systems using the integration server – BizTalk Server

Additionally, this medical project includes the development of 2 healthcare apps from scratch. In short, these medical apps are the following:

• Health tech app that includes the list of partners who provide medical services. In general, this application allows the display of partners on the map, filtering by different key criteria, and has an admin tool.
• Medical application for logging patient events that require additional care by different structural divisions of the company.

In brief, the Chudovo team is responsible for the following tasks:

• Consulting
• Recover and rebuild core applications from existing code sources
• Deploy and setup CI/CD
• Development of new features
• Development of additional applications from scratch
• Bugs fixing
• DBA tasks 24/7
• Maintenance tasks

General project architecture, design patterns features:

• Domain Driven Design
• Multitenancy
• Layered (N-layer) architecture: User interface or Presentation layer, Data access layer, Business logic layer
• The monolithic approach is characterized by building a system as a single monolithic solution, implementing the rules of business logic, mechanisms for accessing databases, user authorization system, etc.

Project Techstack:

• .NET 4.5 (EF 5.0)
• REST architecture
• Angular 1.5 – JS / Angular 2+
• Azure Load Balancer
• Azure Active Directory Authentication
• Serilog
• Deployment environment: the project deployment process was automated with Azure DevOps (Deployment Pipelines).
