Abstract

This thesis describes the complete server side system for computerisation of home care service. The solution is built as an intermediate layer between the mobile application and the existing backend of the health institution. It consists of three main applications: custody application, web service for integration with the mobile application, and web service for integration with the backend of the health institution. It supports working with the users (nurses in home care) and work orders which act as a basis for which home care services need to be provided and are still handled in paper form. The solution is built on Microsoft .NET framework, provides a REST API for communication with the mobile app, and SOAP API for communicating with the health institution backend. For testing and simulation purposes of working within the entire process flow, two additional components were implemented, automated tests which cover the REST API and simulate the mobile application, and a demo smart client are used to enter the information into the system and simulate the backend. To cover the entire field work process, a mobile application was developed as part of another thesis. Together they represent the basis for creating a product that will enable complete end-to-end computerisation of home care service.
