// Solution Proposed
A multi-tenant SaaS application was developed with a MVP made ready with record time for stakeholder and trade show demos. A simplified user interface was designed to allow users to interact with the software using simple drag and drop actions. The dashboard gave a bird's eye view of current status of care home in terms of any important alerts, overdue of tasks, accidents etc. The system was designed to handle large file exchange and large number of users. It was made secure and GDPR compliant to ensure data protection for sensitive patient data. In order to maintain unhindered access to data at all times, mobility solutions were provided in form of companion mobile app with offline data storage and sync capability.
At architecture level Event driven data exchange with third parties using Kafka and microservice architecture was implemented for ease of product maintenance and feature enhancement. User level restrictions were implemented in accordance with personnel hierarchy in care homes. It allowed system users to manage resident's personal details, pre-admission history, contact and family details, interest, life history, photographs, personal inventories, allergies, documents, absence from care home etc.
